  • Hi Bob,

    Try setting the Detail Pipeline's SkipWhenNoRecords property to False. This
    will ensure all master fields are printed whether there are details or not.

  • Hi Alex,

    How are you creating these subreports? Are you simply placing them in the
    header band at designtime? If so, and these are Fixed subreports, you need
    to be sure the height and width of each subreport component (on th…
  • Hi Petter,

    Thanks for the additional information. Currently all pipeline properties
    are resolved inside the Report object. In all of my tests, I had a report
    object on the form/datamodule so I could not recreate the issue. …
  • Hi Petter,

    This may have something to do with the order each component was created in
    your app. Please try to recreate this issue with a new application noting
    the order you create (place) each component on the form. Let me …
  • Hi Petter,

    In my testing I was unable to recreate this issue. Below are the following
    steps I took. Note that I am using RB 10.07. Although we have never heard
    of this issue, I would recommend updating your version to the l…
  • Hi Petter,

    Are you setting the MasterDataPipeline property at designtime and loosing it
    at runtime? Are you able to recreate this with a simple example? If not,
    there must be something in your code that is clearing out this …
  • HI Willie,

    Take a look at demos 51 and 52 located in the \RBuilder\Demos\1. Reports\...
    directory. These examples show how to create a report similar to what you
    need.

  • Hi Mark,

    This is interesting. I've tested on my HP LaserJet 5 and HP C6180 and am
    unable to see this behavior. I will try to download the drivers for the
    printers you are using and see if I can find anything however ReportBu…

    This was just a test to try to isolate the problem. This means the problem
    only occurs when printing from the preview window. I'm concerned about the
  • Fixed style subreports refer to the PrintBehavior property of the Subreport.
    What happens when you print to the printer directly (no preview)?

    in Titleband causing report to go haywire Comment by nicocizik February 2008
  • Hi Mark,

    When dealing with complex reports, it is sometimes hard to pinpoint a
    specific issue that could be causing the problem. I took a look at the
    known issues for RB 7.04 and did not see anything dealing with the use of <…
  • Hi Jean,

    Sorry, there is a bit more to this than simply chaning the Session type.
    Take a look at the following article on converting templates from BDE to
    ADO. The same concepts apply to your situation.

    -----------…
  • Hi Jean,

    You are going to need to change the session type before running the report
    in order to use the proper DADE plugin. The best place to do this would be
    after the temlate is loaded in the TppTemplate.OnLoadEnd event.
  • Hi Semone,

    Many barcodes are restricted to bar ratios in order to be read correctly.
    Try adjusting the BarWidth and WideBarRatio properties for your barcode and
    see if you can get the barcode to size correctly.

  • Hi Semone,

    Which version of ReportBuilder and Delphi are you using? Does this happen
    for every report you create with the A4 standard labels? If you print to a
    different printer, do you still get the same behaivor?

  • Hi,

    For future reference, please use your real name when posting to these
    newsgroups.

    The calendar option is a custom addition (demonstrated in the AutoSearch
    example located in the \RBuilder\Demos\AutoSearch\... di…
  • Hi Jean-Pierre,

    For future reference please send all attachments to
    support@digital-metaphors.com. Also please define which features of
    ReportBuilder you are using. If you are using RAP (Code workspace) either

  • Hi Jean-Pierre,

    In my testing, appending a space to the end of a Code 39 barcode seemed to
    include the space correctly. When are you adding the check digit to the
    data string? Please give me some steps I can take to recreate…
  • Hi Ian,

    ReportBuilder currently does not support exporting memos to a text file.
    This is something we are strongly considering for the next release.
    Currently you will need to use a wrapped DBText or Label to export text.
  • Hi Chris,

    The following example follows a slightly different approach however it is
    most likely not the memo that is slowing your report down. You may also
    consider using the TppPageBreak component to ensure the detail data p…
  • Hi Martin,

    Thanks for the info. We will localize these strings for the next release.

  • Hi Stef,

    Creating an example will take some time as ReportBuilder is not designed to
    handle calendar style reports. I would suggest trying to do all data
    processing in SQL code. Start by creating a dataset that contains all …
  • Hi Stef,

    Try creating a master query based on the CustomerID linked to a detail query
    containing all the time information. In the main report display the months
    across the header, then the customer just above a subreport in t…
  • Hi Jason,

    Thanks for the extensive description of the problem. I will research this
    further and see how it can be solved. Are you using the DataDictionary? If
    so, have you tried toggling the ValidateTableNames property to s…
  • Hi Joel,

    ReportBuilder does not natively include a hypertext viewing component. You
    might take a look at the third party component TRichView. TRichView is a
    suite of native Delphi components for displaying, editing, and prin…
  • Hi Rodger,

    Try to isolate the problem. Try to get the error again with your library
    path pointing toward \RBuilder\Source\ and see where in the RB source the
    error is occuring. Are there reports that work all the time? How …
  • Hi Hans,

    1. Take a look at the main reports demo located in the \RBuilder\Demos\1.
    Reports\... directory. There are numerous examples on how to create a
    Master-Detail report inside this demo.

    2. If you are using …
  • Hi Branden,

    Take a look at the following example. I belive it uses the older RB 9 query
    designer however you can subsitute the current source files to get the
    latest look.

  • Hi Tom,

    ReportBuilder does not have a built-in way to read or convert PDF files.
    One option would be to perhaps find a utility that converts PDF to RichText
    or an image, then load that into a TppRichText or TppImage compoenent…
