  • Hi Chris,

    I'm sorry, we are unable to provide patches for RB 10.05 any more. The code
    base has not been drastically changed for RB 10.06 so I do not believe
    recompiling your third party components should be much different. W…
  • Hi Chris,


    This issue was solved for RB 10.06. Contact info@digital-metaphors.com for
    upgrade instructions.

  • Hi Madt,

    Yes, it is a bit confusing. The constants dtPrinter, dtScreen, etc. are
    given to provide backward compatibility and an easy way to define the
    built-in devices. These however are constants and should be referred to <…
  • Hi Madt,

    For the DeviceType property, do not use dtScreen as a string, simply use the
    string "Screen".

    ppReport1.DeviceType := 'Screen';

  • Hi Michal,

    Thanks for the clarification.

    There is no built-in way to accomplish this in ReportBuilder however it
    should be fairly easy to do yourself. For instance, if each invoice is in
    its own report group, you c…
  • Hi Michal,

    Rather than trying to control the pipeline, I would suggest altering the
    underlying SQL code using AutoSearch or the TdaSQLBuilder object (if you are
    using DADE). This allows you to easily adjust the search conditi…

  • Hi Trevor,

    One option would be to create a main report with a detail band only. Then
    place two section style subreports inside the detail band. The first
    subreport will represent the front page and the second will represent …
  • Sorry Jason, I cancelled your message as this would be a violation of your

  • I'm sorry, RB 6.03 is no longer available for download. We do not have the
    reasources to support all older versions of ReportBuilder. The oldest
    version we have available is RB 7.04 for Delphi 5 however you will need to
    purchase …
  • Hi Mishania,

    ReportBuilder currently does not have the ability to cut and continue an
    image across pages. You will either need to resize the image to fit on a
    single page or separate the image into two images using an imaging…
  • Hi Todd,

    Try placing the DBCalc or TppVariable component that calculates the count
    inside the Summary band of the report. This will print directly after the
    detail bands have finished.

  • Hi Trevor,

    I believe the Graphic property is nil in this case. Try using the
    TPicture.LoadFromFile routine instead.

    ppImg_FloorPlan.Picture.LoadFromFile(strFilename_FloorPlan);

  • Hi Tony,

    You can do so using a report object loop. Take a look at the following
    article.

  • Hi Todd,

    Inside the DetailBand.BeforePrint, you could check if the value is zero and
    adjust the output if it is.

  • Hi Trevor,

    I have not seen this behavior before. If possible, please create a simple
    example that demonstrates this and send it to support@digital-metaphors.com
    in .zip format and I'll take a look at it for you.

  • Hi Trevor,

    Where are you setting the duplex option (i.e. which event)? If you preview
    the report with a single page before printing, is there only one page
    available?

  • Hi Ian,

    The reason you are receiving an error is that the template is saving the
    event name and location when you save it to file. Then when you load the
    template, it is looking for that event and cannot find it. One solutio…
  • Hi Ian,

    Yes, RAP is only available with the Enterprise edition of ReportBuilder.

  • Hi Les,

    No, changing this entry should not cause any problems down the road. Our
    installer just looks for the "\RBuilder\Lib" portion of the entry.

  • Hi Les,

    Delphi 2007 has a little quirk where occationally if there is an invalid
    path included in the library path, it will not be able to find other
    included files. Try removing any invalid paths from the D2007 library path …
  • Hi Nikolai,

    This is not a known issue for RB 9.03. Are you able to simplify this
    report to isolate what is causing the error? If you would like, you can
    send me an example of a report that shows this error and i can test it…
  • Hi Apostol,

    This is not a known issue with ReportBuilder. When a stretchable memo
    becomes too large to fit on a page, it should break the page and start
    printing again on the next page. Which version of ReportBuilder and Del…
  • Hi Jeroen,

    Sorry, my idea was that your users define a global constant defining what
    they would like the file to be named and you would search the RAP code for
    that constant and if it exists, rename the file. Another option m…
  • Hi Jeroen,

    Though it is not possible to call RAP functions from Delphi, it is possible
    to access the declairations and code from Delphi using the TraCodeModule
    class. You could perhaps declair a global constant containing the…
