  • Hi Chris,

    If you are using the updated version of BuilderControls, you need to be sure
    you add the BuilderControlsDesign.pas file to your uses clause in order to
    enable designer controls like the popup menu.

    We have…
  • Hi Jon,

    Using DBCalcs in other calculations can be difficult due to the timing in
    which they are finally calculated. I would recommend replacing all your
    DBCalcs with TppVariables and doing the calculations manually. For the…
  • Hi John,

    How are you initially calculating Total A? If you are perhaps using the
    OnCalc of a TppVariable component, you could simply make two calculations
    inside that event, rounding one differently. Another option would be …
  • Hi Sydney,

    Please contact info@digital-metaphors.com with your serial number and
    purchasing email address for upgrade instructions.

    If you create a two pass report, you can easily determine the last page of a
    report…
  • Hi Sydney,

    Be sure you are using RB 10.03. There was an issue with canceling a report
    with some earlier versions of RB 10 that has now been addressed. If you set
    the SummaryBand.PrintHeight to phDynamic, it will break across…
  • Hi Sydney,

    Which version of ReportBuilder are you using? RB 10+ now includes a more
    sophisticated designer that warns you in most cases if there could be an
    infinite page result.

  • Hi Sydney,

    You can limit the number of detail bands printed per page using the
    TppDetailBand.PrintCount. If you are using static height detail bands, you
    can then control the total height of all the detail bands on each page.…
  • Hi Shahine,

    This error indicates that you are trying to link in an older package when
    loading the TeeChart/ReportBuilder packages.

    Be sure you install TeeChart before you install ReportBuilder. The
    ReportBuilder in…
  • Hi Lee,

    In my testing with the exact code below and RB 10.03, the entire caption
    showed up correctly. As a test, try downloading a trial version of RB 10.03
    for Delphi 6 and test with that. Be sure to back up any templates y…
  • Hi Filip,

    The Footer band is not a dynamic height band. In order for a line in the
    footer band to line up with a vertical line in the detail band, the bottom
    of the last detail band would have to match perfectly with the top …
  • Hi Lee,

    If you know the size of the crosstab, you can check the aRow parameter and
    if it is the last row of the crosstab, assume that you are altering the
    column totals. Note that you can adjust the display format of any cell…

    Excellent! Glad it's helping.

  • Hi Stephan,

    It seems that this AV is occuring when your users are closing the
    application with certain RAP code present. Perhaps there is a certain
    event that is causing this issue. You might try removing all rap code and <…
  • Hi Stephan,

    Thanks for the information. There is a patch for RB 9.03 that may fix this
    issue. If you would like to try it, please send a small email to
    support@digital-metaphors.com requesting it.

    Another approach…
  • Hi Stephan,

    Please provide the exact steps you are taking to create this AV. Is this
    occuring at design time or runtime? Which version of Delphi are you using?

  • Hi Rob,

    Does this happen for every report? What specifically have you done to
    change the original preview form? If for instance you load a report that is
    two pass, then it will generate each page before showing the first pag…
  • Hi mvm,

    Be sure the regions have their Stretch property set to True. Is there
    anything else inside the detail band besides the regions and items inside
    the regions? Are you by chance loading templates?

  • Hi Vladimar,

    ReportBuilder uses the concept of Subreports to embed or add multiple bands.
    I recommend working through the tutorials given in the ReportBuilder
    Developer's Guide located in the \RBuilder\Developer's Guide\... di…
  • Hi Gustavo,

    Unfortunately it is currently not possible to alter the actual text of a
    mailmerge richtext object at run time. It has been added to our to-do list
    for a future release to provide an event to allow this type of ac…
  • Hi Valdimar,

    Have you updated your version of ReportBuilder to 9.03 yet? I believe this
    was a problem that was fixed for later versions.

  • Hi Valdimar,

    1. Section subreports are intended to be used to display multiple reports
    as a single one. Unlike child and fixed subreports, they act as indipendent
    reports within the main report. See below.

    Copied…
  • Hi Valdimar,

    There are two main options when trying to combine multiple small reports
    into a single one. The first is to use Section subreports in a main report
    and to load each small report template into these subreports as …
  • Hi Valdimar,

    Sorry for the delay.

    ReportBuilder is not designed to simply add pages as you describe below. I
    would recommend creating a simple main report with only a Detail Band, then
    for each new page you would l…
  • Hi Valdimar,

    1. I would recommend creating a grouped report (with NewPage set to True)
    that is connected to a dataset that contains all the ID's. This report
    essentially displays all the ID's.

    2. Take a look a th…
  • Hi Stef,

    The only way to determine the PageCount before the report has printed is to
    create a two pass report and check the PageCount on the second pass. I
    think you are getting away with this for the Screen Device because yo…
