Hi Andy,
When altering or adding search criteria to a QueryDataView, I recommend
taking a look at the TdaSQLBuilder object, added for RB 9.x and higher.
This gives you an easy way to create and customize the SQL object with a … -
Hi Charles,
ReportBuilder currently does not allow grouping by an expression or
calculated field. This is due to the fact that some databases do not allow
it. It has come to our attention recently that most DB's these days d… -
Hi Gilbert,
As a test, remove all DB connections from the report and replace your
DBPipeline with a JITPipeline set to contain 3000 records. If this still
takes 1 second per page, please send this in .zip format to

Hi Gilbert,
Is this report accessing data? If so, try printing the report with just the
grid and nothing else. For a reference, a simple report containing no DB
aware components or large images should not take anywhere near … -

Hi Jose,
Depending on when you would like to give your users the ability to select
which field they would like to display, you could manually assign the
DBText.DataField property before the report prints (either before you mak… -
Hi Charles,
ReportBuilder will function the same for Delphi 6, 7, 2005, and 2006. If
you are a fan of the older IDE, I would recommend using Delphi 7. If you
would like to use the latest IDE and latest features of Delphi, I … -
Hi Charles,
Sorry, I missunderstood your initial post.
You can use the Join dialog in DADE to create joins in SQL. In the query
designer, simply add two tables in the tables tab and the join dialog will

Hi Charles,
Both JPEGs and GIFs are natively supported by the image component. You will
need to add ppJPEG or ppGIF to your uses clause in order to view these types
of images. Other image types are also available. See the a…Hi Jeff,
This is most likely a printer driver issue. ReportBuilder does not
communicate directly with the printer driver, it uses generic windows API
calls which then send their own commands to the printer driver. All these …Hi Fellipe,
It is possible to use the TppSubreport.Visibile property to toggle the
visibility of that subreport. Setting visible to False will prevent the
subreport from printing. As far as ordering the subreports... subrepo…Hi Pete,
One option is to create two preview plugins, one with the design button
added and one without. Then based on the user privileges, you can register

The best way to replace the preview form with the newer versions of RB is to
use a PreviewPlugin. Take a look at the article below on how this can be
done.
I'm still unclear about what is happening. If yo…Hi Pete,

Hi Rafick,
Instead of calling the Band.AddObject routine, you need to set the

I would recommend two options.
1. Try placing two subreports side by side, each one connected to a
separate dataset. These subreports will traverse the data of each dataset
independently.
2. If …Hi Jeff,
Try disconnecting the dataset from the report or moving the crosstab out of
the detail band. If the crosstab for instance is inside the detail band, it
will be repeated for each record in the dataset that the report …Hi Everett,
The Ord function is not currently supported by RAP. In order to use this

in RB 10.04 Help File Comment by nicocizik October 2006Hi Gary,
In my testing the help menu option is working as designed. At Delphi design
time, selecting the Help | Help option is meant to bring up the Delph help.
At runtime, making this selection brings up the RBuilder.hlp fil…Hi Fillipe,
Setting the subreport style to Section will ensure it prints on its own new
page. You can also use the TppPageBreak component to automatically break a
page anywhere you would like inside a report.

ReportBuilder does not have any built-in features to save and load .rtm
files from .res files. It is my understanding that a .rc file is just a
text file containing information of some sort. It is definitely possibl…Hi Imam,
Have you tried upgrading to RB 7.04 and testing with that?
As a simple test, try loading the image in a simple Delphi application that
does not include ReportBuilder. Are you able to get the correct output?
