  • I installed RB Enterprise 10.05 and was able to successfully build with the
    installed source. You may have a corrupt installation. Try reinstalling
    ReportBuilder, then remove the \RBuilder\Lib directory from your library
    path, an…
  • In my testing with RB 10.05 Server and Delphi 2006, I am able to
    successfully compile off of the RBuilder\Source directory. Let me know the
    exact version and edition of ReportBuilder are you using and I'll install a
    fresh copy on …
  • Hi Filip,

    What is the exact error you are receiving? Be sure you only have source
    files in your library path (i.e. \RBuilder\Source\...). Also, try replacing
    the source files in the \RBuilder\Source directory with the change…
  • Hi Filip,

    There have been numerous changes and fixes to the ppCtrls and ppPrnDev files
    since RB 7. We strongly recommend against using the old source files with
    RB 10. My suggestion would be to try to manually add the change…
  • Hi Wolfgang,

    If you are loading templates, you will either need to define your events
    inside the template (i.e. RAP) or you will need to assign your events after
    the template is loaded. Below are a few articles that may be of…
  • Hi Jay,

    Forgive me if I'm on the wrong track.

    Since the preview form is modal, the report will by definition have
    completed before any code after the Report.Print call is executed. If
    however you need to keep track…
  • Hi Jose,

    If you have your report set to be a two pass report, the AbsolutePageCount
    should already be calculated. Inside an early event such as the StartPage
    you can first check the pass then find the AbsolutePageCount.
  • Hi Cipek,

    The ReportBuilder crosstab component does not have a built-in feature to
    break to a new line on the same page if it is wider than the space given.
    One option would be to use two fixed style subreports (one above the …
  • Hi,

    Yes, this will be considered for a later release. Thanks for the feedback.

  • Hi Jean-Francois,

    There is no built-in feature to do this however it is possible to loop
    through each component inside a report and determine whether it is a region
    or not. Once a region is found, you can determine whether th…
  • Hi Ken,

    In my quick testing the EmailSettings.Enabled property does toggle the
    visibility of the email button in the preview. This is controled in the
    TppPreview.BeforePreview routine about half way down...

  • Hi Fillipe,

    Are you using RAP, If so take a look at the following example on how to use
    a global variable to show totals from a subreport in the main report.

  • Hi Alan,

    How are you forcing a page break for each subreport? Are you able to
    determine what condition is needed to cause the error. It seems for some
    reason in some cases, the page breaking method you are using is breaking …
  • Hi Alan,

    I have not seen this behavior before. How are you keeping each record
    confined to a single page? Are you able to recreate this issue with the
    trial version of RB 10.05?

  • Hi Tor,

    Yes it is possible to have multiple versions of RB installed on the same
    machine if they are installed with different versions of Delphi. I would
    however recommend installing RB 10.06 for both Delphi 2006 and 2007 so …
  • Hi Jean-Francois,

    In theory, this should work for most packages however it is not something we
    recommend or support. As I mentioned in my previous post, RB 10.06 will be
    released very shortly and will include versions designe…
  • Hi Bernhard,

    We will be releasing the next maintenance release of ReportBuilder (RB
    10.06) very soon. This version will include support for Delphi 2007.
    Thanks for your support.

  • Hi Santy,

    In my testing with my HP LaserJet and Microsoft Office Document Image
    Writer, I was able to successfully print a custom sized report and the
    output was as expected with the footer band information in the proper place…
  • Hi Eric,

    You can do this with another TppVariable inside the FooterBand of your
    report. The easiest way would be to update the value of the FooterBand
    variable as you calculate the value of the variable inside the detail band…
  • Hi Jason,

    I would recommend converting your decimal number into a TDateTime type.
    From there you can alter the display format of the RB object to show the
    value exactly as you need.

  • Hi Filip,

    Thank you for pointing this out and I sincerely apologize that this fix was
    not added for the next release. There is a patch available for RB 10.06
    that will fix the issue in your case. (It is the same fix I mentio…
  • Hi Cary,

    Thank you for all the information. I installed a new copy of XP
    Professional SP2 and Vista on a couple virtual machines and verified what
    you found. After updating the help installer, everthing seemed to test ok.
  • Hi Cary,

    This error indicates that the help installer cannot find the dexplore.exe
    file on your machine. This is necessary to view Help2 on a windows machine
    (i.e. Delphi 2007 help). If the Delphi help works correctly, then …
  • Hi Cary,

    The downloads should work correctly now. Please try again.

  • Hi David,

    Yes, installing a new version will uninstall the version currently on your
    machine. If you see the error during the uninstall process (before files
    begin copying to your machine), disregard it and the install proces…
  • Hi Cary,

    Thank you for pointing this out. The ReportBuilder help installer looks for
    the .NET SDK version 1.1 on your machine. If this is not present, an error
    will be shown. We missed seeing this error because all of our m…
  • Hi Herman,

    Take a look at the ppPDFDevice topic in the RBuilder help for a starting
    point. There are also extensive PDF examples located in the
    \RBuilder\Demos\1. Reports\... directory. Take a look at demos 108 and 109
  • Hi George,

    This is not a known issue however I would definitely recommend upgrading
    your version of ReportBuilder to RB 9.03 after performing a corrupt install
    cleanup. Contact info@digital-metaphors.com for upgrade instructi…
