  • Hi Stef,

    This is probably caused because 4 records are not quite fitting on one page.
    One option would be to resize the detail band so that 4 records can fit on a
    single page easier. You can also try adjusting the new page th…
  • Hi Mauro,

    Would you like the "Credits - Debits" calculation to be a per-page
    calculation or a per-group calculation? If it is per-group, why not place
    it in the group footer?

  • Hi Mauro,

    If your group data ends in the second column on the page, ReportBuilder will
    look to place the next group's data on the next column. If there is no room
    left (i.e. both columns on the page already contain data), it …
  • Hi Goran,

    There are a couple ways to combine multiple reports into one single print
    job.

    1. Create a main report with two Section style subreports in the detail
    band. Then load the template (.rtm) files from each …
  • Hi Sairheid,

    Take a look at demo 115 (dm0115.pas) located in the \RBuilder\Demos\1.
    Reports\... directory. Does this example work correctly for you? If so,
    try to use the same settings to get your application working.

  • Hi Russ,

    If you know the number of fields that will be returned by the query, you can
    simply create and save a report template (.rtm) and load that before you
    connect the dataset. If the query can contain a different amount o…
  • Hi Ralf,

    Setting the page size to a small value ensures you do not use too much paper
    once the report has finished printing. This should not cause an infinite
    page report unless you have components outside the page bounds or …

  • Hi Sairheid,

    My first suggestion would be to update your version of ReportBuilder to
    7.04. RB 7.04 added support to allow a connection to an Advantage database
    using a connection path rather than just an alias or datadictiona…

  • Hi Sairheid,

    Take a look at demo 33 (dm0033.pas). This demo uses the
    DetailBand.BeforePrint to add to the TppMemo object. Are you doing
    something like this? Are you certain your events are firing?

  • Hi Ignacio,

    For future reference, please post RAP oriented questions in the RAP
    newsgroup. This helps us understand what the problem is and allows us to
    give you a more accurate answer in less time.

  • Hi Sairheid,

    RB 7.04 and RB 10.x both work with Advantage the same way.

    Open the rbADS77.dpk source and be sure the file name at the top is correct.
    Also check the requires clause to be sure the correct packages are being…
  • Hi Filip,

    There is no specific event that fires as the BandsPerRecordCount is changes.
    A couple options you might try...

    Use the TppDetailBand.BeforePrint to check the BandsPerRecordCount and if it
    is greater than o…
  • Hi Sven,

    ReportBuilder 10.x includes a new two dimentional barcode object which
    includes the PDF417 format.

  • Hi David,

    I would suggest trying the new version with RB 10.x. There have been
    numerous improvements since RB 6.x was released. Are you a registered user
    of ReportBuilder or are you using an application with ReportBuilder
  • Hi David,

    This is not a known issue. Most issues we've had in the past with Citrix
    systems were dealing with access rights to the printer driver. Are you able
    to recreate this error printing a report directly to a local prin…
  • Hi Jeferson,

    Thank you for the suggestion. We will consider adding this feature for a
    later release of ReportBuilder.

    in Calc Field in a Group By's Clause Comment by nicocizik August 2006
  • Hi Jeferson,

    The query designer in DADE does not allow grouping by a calculated field.
    If your database supports this type of action, you will need to edit the SQL
    manually if you would like to create a query like this. Note …
  • Hi Matt,

    This is a feature that we would very much like to add.

    We are hopeful that Borland will add Unicode support to the VCL in a future
    release - to make this a more manageable task for us.

    This is interesting. I followed your exact steps below using the main

    directory.

  • Hi Jeroen,

    As a test I created a simple report with a single group (KeepTogether =
    True, NewPage = False by default) and it seemed to print correctly and
    looking at the template source, the KeepTogether = True was saved down <…
  • Hi Bruce,

    The TeeChart help is built into the Delphi Help. If you search on the
    TChart topic, you should find the examples I'm talking about. I believe you
    will want to use the TChart.AddSeries routine.

  • Hi Graham,

    You can access the actual TeeChart using the TppTeeChart.Chart property. If
    you take a look at the TeeChart help topic for TChart, there are numerous
    examples of how to add a series to an existing chart.

  • Hi Carsten,

    I apologize for this. We will update the package versions for the next
    release.

  • Hi Kei,

    My first suggestion would be to remove all event handler code from your
    application dealing with the report. If this does not help the issue, try
    upgrading to RB 7.04 and see if that solves the problem. Contact
  • Hi Kei,

    In my testing with RB 10.04 I was unable to recreate this issue. Placing a
    region below a subreport in a group footer with ShiftRelativeTo set and
    KeepTogether set to True, never split the region across two pages. Tr…
  • Hi Matthew,

    If you change your library path to \RBuilder\Source\ are you able to trace
    into the ReportBuilder source where the exception occurs? I do not believe
    the dates you have in your search statement will cause this err…
  • Hi Joe,

    If you are changing the ReportBuilder source, try to keep all your changes
    in the implementation section of the units. This way you should only need
    to recompile the package that the altered file resides in. I do not…
  • Hi Paul,
