  • Hi Max,

    Which dataset is the subreport in the footer attached to? Is this dataset
    linked to the Master dataset as well as the Detail dataset (hopefully
    located in the detail band). Note that the page footer band is a static …
  • Hi Michael,

    The Steema staff just informed us that TeeChart 7.07 was released today :).
    ReportBuilder 10.02 …
  • Hi Carlos,

    ReportBuilder does not natively support the export to Excel. For a quicker
    response, I recommend directly contacting the support email of the third
    party export device you are using.

  • Hi Harry,

    Which database/connectivity are you currently using? If I understand
    correctly, this error is frequently encountered with the combination of SQL
    Server, BDE and the use of TimeStamp fields. This is due to the fact …
  • Hi Leah,

    This should be possible. By default, when you create a new report, the
    Report.AutoStop property should be True. This prevents an endless page
    report if there is no data connected. Once a datasource is connected to …
  • Hi Thatchi,

    Take a look at the Report.Parameters feature. You can assign parameter
    values in Delphi and use them in RAP. See the following example.

  • Hi Thatchi,

    The solution is to keep all your report events local to the template file
    using RAP. RAP is available with the Enterprise edition of ReportBuilder.

  • Hi Jaime,

    I believe the version of TeeChart that was natively supported for RB 9.02
    was TeeChart 7.04. Try upgrading your version of TeeChart, then
    reinstalling ReportBuilder.

  • Hi Jaime,

    Which exact version of TeeChart are you trying to use? If you look in the
    RBuilder.hlp file in the ReportBuilder Reference | TeeChart | Delphi 7
    section, you will see the versions of TeeChart that are supported for …
  • Hi Robert,

    1. The autosearch dialogs are completely customizable so if you would like
    to register your own dialog, it will automatically be used with
    ReportBuilder. See the example located in the \RBuilder\Demos\5.
    Aut…
  • Hi Robert,

    Which version of ReportBuilder/Delphi are you using? In my testing with
    ReportBuilder 10.02 and Delphi 7, the code you posted below seems to work
    correctly including with the registering of RAP and DADE.

  • Hi Pierre,

    Yes, first try updating you version of ReportBuilder to 9.03 and see if the
    problem still exists before upgrading to 10.02. Contact
    info@digital-metaphors.com with your serial number for updating information.
  • Hi Pierre,

    Thanks for the steps, however I am unable to see this behavior with Delphi
    2005 and RB 10.02. ReportBuilder does not take direct control of the Delphi
    Object Inspector in most cases, are you able to see this when u…
  • Hi Pierre,

    I'm sorry but I do not understand the steps you are taking to reproduce this
    issue. First, which version of ReportBuilder are you using? Are you typing
    the caption into the edit toolbar, RB inspector, or Delphi ob…
  • Hi Robert,

    Yes, this should be possible. Take a look at the crosstab demos located in
    the \RBuilder\Demos\2. CrossTabs\... directory for example on how to create
    crosstab components using the crosstab designer.

    -- …
  • Hi Bin,

    If I understand correctly, you need something like Parameters available in
    the TQuery object? Unfortunately DADE does not currently support this type
    of feature. It is something that we have discussed and could possi…
  • Hi,

    Would you like your users to be able to add a field in the search tab or in
    RAP. If you are using the search tab of the query designer, they can simply
    insert the field name into the value editbox. If you would like them…
  • Hi Sydney,

    This is due to the fact that you report's PassSetting property is set to
    psOnePass. Setting it to psTwoPass will allow RB to know how many pages are
    in the report before you see it. Sometimes the pass setting is <…
  • Hi Melanie,

    Unfortunately we do not have much experience with Grid Pack and although I
    believe William monitors these newsgroups fairly frequently, you might try
    contacting him directly at support@planitechnologies.com for a q…
  • My second option would include storing your existing reports as template
    files (.rtm) and dynamically loading them into subreports you create on your
    main report at runtime. This way the application could be completely soft
    coded.…
  • Hi,

    There are a couple options....

    1. Print each report to an archive file, then use the archive merge utility
    to merge them into one file. The Archive Merge Utility is a free third
    party utility and can be downlo…
  • Hi Franco,

    I'm a bit unclear about what you would like to accomplish. What information
    would you like to store? Are you interested in the position on the page the
    last detail band will print, or the actual record information…
  • Hi Santy,

    Take a look at the AutoSearch demo located in the \RBuilder\Demos\5.
    AutoSearch\3. AutoSearch Field to SQL Where Clause\.. directory. You will
    see that there are numerous AutoSearch fields created, then inside the <…
  • Hi Jorg,

    Unfortunately RAP does not support Delphi sets. You will need to code a
    pass-thru function in order to set this property in RAP. An example of a
    pass-thru function can be found in the ReportBuilder Developer's Guide…
  • Hi Jorg,

    Be sure you have ppTypes in your uses clause. You code below worked
    correctly on my machine.

  • Hi Max,

    Do you have enough records to cause a second column? Note that by default,
    the columns will print top to bottom, when the page runs out, the next
    column will begin. If you would like to print left to right, you will …
  • Hi Igor,

    Thanks for your interest in RB for .NET.

    Digital Metaphors is currently working on RB for .NET. The project is being
    approached in phases. The first phase will have the ability to preview and
    print reports …
  • Hi Red,

    ReportBuilder does not have the ability to sort based on its own
    calculations. All sorting inside the detail band must be done in the
    dataset. I would suggest making this calculation inside your query and
    sorti…
  • Hi Alan,

    Try updating your version of ReportBuilder to RB 7.04 and see if the problem
    is resolved. Please contact info@digital-metaphors.com with your serial
    number for upgrade information.

  • Hi Red,

    I believe the FormatFloat routine returns a string value. In my testing
    with the following code in the OnCalc event in RAP, I did not receive an
    error when setting my TppVariable to a String type.

    Value := …
