  • Hi EdB,

    The best way to determine where you are on the page is to use the
    PrintPosRect property of the Report.Engine. The bottom of this rectangle
    represents the current position on the page the report has spanned.

  • Hi EdB,

    No, ReportBuilder will calculate the amount of space that is available on
    the page after the group header prints. Since the page footer and margins
    are static height, the calculation will be made between the bottom of…
  • Hi EdB,

    Now that I think about it more, I do not believe two pass will work in your
    case due to the fact that you need to change the actual page spacing on the
    fly. Once the first pass is finished, all spacing for the page is…
  • Could you possibly create a two pass report to determine whether you have a
    footer band on the given page or not before the report is displayed? Note
    that for later versions of ReportBuilder (RB 9 and later) we included a
    PageBrea…
  • Hi EdB,


    Is this a detail band that is printing? How are you calculating the
    remaining space available? If possible, please send a small example in .zip
    format demonstrating this behavior perhaps using the DBDEMOS datab…
  • Hi Steffen,

    Which combobox are you speaking of? Is this the font combobox of the format
    toolbar or something else?

  • Hi Steffen,

    Take a look at the following example. It gives a few good examples on how
    to manage and customize the new toolbars for RB 10.x. From your code below
    it looks like you have the basic idea. It is possible to split…
  • Hi Alan,

    Yes, the code I mentioned below should fix the issue for your customer's
    setup.

  • Hi Alan,

    This is an error that was brought to our attention not long ago and deals
    with many printer drivers simply containing a floating point exception that
    is normally never picked up due to the fact that some applications …
  • Hi Alan,

    Are there any printers installed on your machine? There may be a patch
    available that could fix this problem. Send an email to
    support@digital-metaphors.com requesting it and we'll send it to you as soon
    as po…
  • Hi Laurent,

    Sorry, please see my second response to Alan who earlier had the same issue.
    I still strongly recommend upgrading your version to RB 7.04.

  • Hi Laurent,

    My first suggestion would be to upgrade to RB 7.04. This is a free upgrade
    for registered users of RB 7.x. Contact info@digital-metaphors.com with
    your serial number and purchasing email address for upgrade instr…
  • Unfortunately we do not have any examples that show this type of report. As
    I mentioned before, ReportBuilder 7.x and earlier were simply not designed
    to do what you need.

  • Hi Massimo,

    Unfortunately the only robust workaround is to use static height detail
    bands. You may also try keeping the value in a group footer however this is
    very difficult if you need to show the page value. The limitatio…
  • Hi Max,

    This is a limitation of ReportBuilder that existed in versions before RB 9.
    It involved calculating a value in the page footer with a dynamic height
    detail band. This limitation was removed for RB 9.x or later.

  • Hi Davide,

    If you right click over the fields added to the Search tab in the query
    designer, you will see that you can insert parentheses and OR statements.
    Using these controls and the "move up" and "move down" arrows on the …
  • Hi Toby,

    ReportBuilder does not have any built-in feature to handle this type of
    autosearch however it is possible to replace the native autosearch dialog
    with one of your own. This would allow you to handle the user input ho…
  • Hi Toby,

    If you are using DADE to create your queries, I would recommend using the
    TdaSQLBuilder class to alter your search criteria at runtime based on a
    user's single autosearch entry. Using the TdaSQLBuilder you are able t…
  • Hi G?nter,

    Have you tried using the NoDataBehaviors property of the subreport. Setting
    this to ndMessageOnPage will show a message that no data is available on
    your report. You can also use the OnNoData event to define your …
  • The latest version of ReportBuilder is 10.04. This is a free upgrade to
    registered users of RB 10.x. Please contact info@digital-metaphors.com for
    upgrade instructions.

  • Hi David,

    I believe this is an IBO error indicating that there is no data defined. Be
    sure that your IB components are successfully connecting to your data when
    you are running the report.

  • Hi Alan,

    The trial version of ReportBuilder is fully functional and does not contain
    a time limit. You will notice that a "nag" screen pops up every time you
    open the designer, there is a perminant watermark on the top edge o…
  • Hi Todd,

    RB 9.03 is completely thread safe so there should not be any issues with
    your application.

    found this thread as well.

  • Hi Gary,

    This problem usually arises when there is an older reference to a TeeChart
    file still left on your computer somewhere. The fact that the
    dclRBC1010.bpl file is not in your \RBuilder\Lib directory leads me to
    be…
  • Hi Bill,

    Where are you setting the printer name of the second report? A good place
    to set this propery is in the AfterPrint event of the first report. In my
    testing with a setup similar to your own, calling
    Report2.Pri…
  • Hi NLK,

    In my testing with RB 10.04 and Delphi 7, adding the following code to the
    OnFormat event worked correctly, removing the thousand separator from the
    currency value.
