  • Hi David,

    In my testing with RB 7.04 and Delphi 5, I was unable to recreate this
    behavior. Are you able to see this error in a minimal example report or
    just in your application? I would recommend first updating your version…
  • Hi Danielle,

    Unfortunately ReportBuilder and the TppCrosstab component were not designed
    to handle this type of report. Determining where each column is in a
    crosstab can be very difficult because RB measures them based on th…
  • Hi Colin,

    Please provide more infomation on the rotated label issue. There is a patch
    available for RB 9.03 that may fix this. If you are interested in the
    patch, please send an email to support@digital-metaphors.com.
  • Hi Colin,

    Below is a post from another customer with some similar problems. Perhaps
    the information will help you as well. We apologize, nn all honesty our
    knowledge of barcode symbologies is lacking.

  • Hi Sven,


    How large is this report and how many records are you accessing? Is this a
    two pass report? Are you accessing data across a network? Is your data
    indexed?

    If you are using the enduser solution, you…
  • Hi Weverton,

    Sorry but I am unable to recreate this behavior on my own. I have
    installed the Epson FX 1170 driver but am unable to make an example that
    shows the error. If possible, please send a small example I can run on …
  • Hi Weverton,

    Which version of ReportBuilder/Delphi are you using? Also, which model Dot
    Matrix printer are you using? Are you able to see this behavior in the
    Previewer as well as on paper? Are you using a dynamic height de…
  • Hi Jan,

    I apologize for the issues you have been having with the ReportBuilder help.
    Unfortunately the Microsoft Help2 system is very difficult to work with and
    in my opinion, very poorly designed. However in all cases I mana…
  • Hi Jonas,

    ReportBuilder 10 includes the ability to automatically send a report as a
    PDF or other supported formats directly through email. ReportBuilder does
    not natively support the export of a report to an image file howeve…
  • Hi,

    You could try using the DetailBand.BeforePrint event to check the value of
    the field and set the value of a text object based on that information.
    Something like the following...


    lsValue := ppReport.DataPi…
  • Hi Bill,

    The conversion from RB 7.01 to RB 7.04 would not be drastic if any. There
    are usually not many template altering changes between maintenance releases.

  • Hi Bill,

    I am not sure if you need to upgrade your version of TExtraDevice for use
    with RB 7.04 however you will need to recompile and install the
    TExtraDevices packages in order for it to run correctly. You might want to
  • Hi Bill,

    In my testing with RB 10.02 and Delphi 7, I am unable to create this
    behavior. My suggestion would be to first try updating your version of RB
    to 7.04 (contact info@digital-metaphors.com with your serial number). If…
  • Hi David,

    1. Take a look at the article below. Try using the PrinterSetup object of
    the individual page rather than the report. I believe it is too late to use
    this object.
    2. If you step through your code are you sur…
  • Hi,

    You need to add raIDE to your uses clause. See the article below. I
    emailed you this response as well.

  • Hi Paul,

    Try using the Report.BeforePrint to check the device used. For instance, if
    you require your users to use our print dialog before they print to paper,
    you could check the Report.PrintDialog.DeviceType property. If t…
  • Hi Sydney,

    For the final report output, the region and shape are identical. In fact
    when being drawn, they use the same code. The region is meant as a
    container for other objects. When object are placed inside a region, the…

  • Hi Franky,

    At design time from the SQL tabsheet, you can right click and select to edit
    the SQL if you would like. At run time you will need to be sure the
    TppDesigner.DataSettings.AllowEditSQL property is set to True. Note …
  • Hi Luc,

    The OnDataPipelineTraversal will only fire each time the pipeline moves to
    the next record, and this is done for each detail band in your report. I'm
    still a bit unsure how your application is producing the correct re…
  • Hi Luc,

    Have you tried printing left to right columns? Where are the labels located
    inside your report? If you are for instance printing labels horizontal
    across a band and would like the record to change for each label, you…
  • Hi Martijn,

    Unfortunately RB 7.04 does not include any scaling features. Starting with
    RB 9, an anchors property was added to each printable component allow you to
    anchor an object to two adjacent sides of the report. This p…
  • Hi Leah,

    Below is a link to the updated DataSnap demo that uses the new RB10 end-user
    architecture. This should get you on the right track.

  • Hi Rob,

    Unfortunately ReportBuilder does not have very advanced image editing
    capabilities. One option is to try setting the DirectDraw property to True.
    If this does not help, you might try shrinking the image using an imagi…
  • Hi Nick,

    Before you print the report, you could try streaming the RTF data and
    searching for those tags. I believe the "N" represents the margin value in
    twips. This can then be converted to report units and given to the
  • Hi Mark,

    I would suggest installing RB 10.02 on your machine only and giving it a
    quick test before deploying or giving it to your other developers. This way
    you can catch any major issues before you get in too deep.
  • Hi Mark,

    Yes, you will need a new version of TExtraDevices to work with the new
    architecture. Take a look at the help in the ReportBuilder Reference |
    TeeChart | Delphi 7.. section for the supported versions of TeeChart. If …
  • Hi Max,

    Ok, sorry I thought for some reason you had moved the region to the detail
    band of the main report. Stretchable components will not stretch in
    non-dynamic height bands. Try setting your subreport to a Fixed style and…
  • Hi Max,

    Are you sure your region has its Stretch property set to True?
