Hi David,
If you would like to access parameters from within the report template, you
will need to use RAP which is available with the Enterprise edition of
ReportBuilder. Otherwise you will need to create your "global variab… -
Hi David,
Parameters can be accessed in RAP and assigned to a global variable if
needed. ReportBuilder does not have a built-in feature to access parameters
from the designer however it is very simple from RAP. The following… -
Hi Ferruh,
I'm a bit unclear about what you are trying to accomplish. Below is an
article on how dates and times are handled in DADE. Also, note that DADE
does not natively support Stored Procedures. You can however create … -
Hi Peter,
This is not a known issue. Are you able to print to other printers? Does
the same printer work with other paper sizes? Be sure you are using the
latest version of the driver for the printer you are using and that … -
Hi Peter,
Be sure that your margins are set large enough to keep all report components
within the printable area allowed by the printer you are using. If report
components fall in the un-printable area for a device, they will… -
Hi Charles,
Generating an Archive file is very similar to exporting to PDF.
Report.AllowPrintToArchive := True;
Report.ArchiveFileName := lsFileName;
Report.DeviceType := 'ArchiveFile';

Hi Benton,
Rather than using the FooterBand, try using the SummaryBand. By definition,
this band will only print on the last page of a report. You can also adjust
the position of the summary band using the PrintPosition prop… -
Hi Günter,
Below is the exact pass-thru function I am using. I placed the call inside
the DetailBand.BeforePrint event.

Hi Günter,
Which version of ReportBuilder are you using? In my testing with RB 10.06 I
was able to successfully change the font of a DBRichText in every
Detailband.

Hi Günter,
You can use the TppRichText.SelAttributes property to change the font of the
richtext text at runtime. Take a look at the
TppCustomRichText.SelAttributes topic in the RBuilder help for more
infomation. Also… -
Hi David,
If you create a two pass report (set Report.PassSetting to psTwoPass), you
can determine the group page count before viewing each group. Inside the
GroupHeader.BeforePrint event first check the Report.SecondPass pro… -
Thanks Ed,
Great demo. Would you mind if I worked on it a bit and added to our archive
for other customers?

Hi Bas,
The demo uses a bit of RAP, which is only included with the Enterprise
edition of ReportBuilder. The CSIntEx file is for a debugging application
named CodeSite. This can be commented out.

Unfortunately ReportBuilder does not have a built-in component that allows
you to display a tree structure like a directory listing automatically. My
previous suggestion would give you this effect however it would mos…Hi Bas,
Thank you for the clairification. I see where nested groups could cause a
problem in your case.
One way you could achieve this type of report with ReportBuilder would be to
arrange your data in a Master-Det…Hi Bas,
Thank you for trying ReportBuilder!
ReportBuilder does have the capability of generating multiple nested groups.
This would give you the effect you are after. Also, if the data from a
separate group is loca…Hi Jean-Francois,
1. The RB DataDictionary does not include built-in support for different
languages. You might consider creating two separate DataDictionaries, one
for each language.
2. Inside the DataDictionary…Thanks Marcel,
We can continue our discussion via. email. I will post a solution to this
issue when it is found.

in Empty PDF after creating report @ runtime Comment by nicocizik April 2007Hi Marcel,
I have not seen this behavior before. If possible, please send a small
example demonstrating the problem to support@digital-metaphors.com and I'll
take a look at it for you. I also strongly suggest upgrading your …Hi Jan,
This may have something to do with the way ExtraDevices handles embedded
fonts. I believe ExtraDevices supports embedded fonts however you might try
contacting them to see if they can help with this issue.
…Hi Marcel,
If you trace your routine below, are the text objects being properly created
and set the second time around? The PDF Device simply generates the pages
the Report sends. If there are missing components, then they a…Hi Nicola,
I'm a bit unclear about what is happening. When a detail band overflows to
the next page, it will only print the components that cannot fit on the
prior page. If you would like a component to print on overflow, yo…Hi Vincent,
Please send all attachments to support@digital-metaphors.com.
Due to the timing in which variables are calculated, it seems the next
record is being added to the value of the variable. You can try to subtract…Hi Vincent,
Try placing a TppVariable inside the footer band of the report set to
calculate on traversal and another TppVariable inside the header band.
Inside the first variable's OnCalc event, calculate the running total and…Hi Benton,
This is interesting behavior. Does this occur on every printer or just the
two you mentioned in your first post? My first suggestion would be to
upgrade your version of ReportBuilder to RB 7.04 and see if that fix…Hi Benton,
ReportBuilder does not communicate directly with your printer, it uses the
Windows API which in turn sends commands to the printer driver. Are you
printing to the size paper that is located in the default bin? I b…Hi Graham,
As a rule of thumb, it is usually best to only use TppVariables when making
calculations inside a report. The DBCalc components are not designed to be
used in other calculations or with other components. I would s…Hi Richard,
Thanks for the clairification. In this case you will need to close the
dataset connected to the report before changes to the data will be
refreshed. Has using the AfterPrint event caused problems with your

I created the exact example you described below and am still able to see the
changes I made to the Country table. You can download my test example
below. Let me know how your setup differs.
in Refresing data for a report Comment by nicocizik April 2007Hi Richard,
Which database and connectivity are you using? Also, which version of
ReportBuilder and Delphi are you using? Are you using DADE to access your
data? In my quick testing with ReportBuilder 10.06, Delphi 2007, an…
