  • Brian,

    Below is a link to an example that should help you. This example shows how
    to get the total from a Subreport and print it in the report's summary band.
    All you would have to do is add the report's total to the subreport'…
  • Paul,

    RBuilder uses your printer driver to measure text for components in the
    report. Update your current printer driver and see if that fixes it. If
    the problem persists, as a test, try installing the print driver for a HP
  • Huseyin,

    Please do not post attachments to the news group. I tried your demo and was
    unable to load it. Please simplify your example and send it to
    support@digital-metaphors.com.

  • Huseyin,

    Try setting the TStringList.Duplicate property to DupIgnore. This way you
    will not recieve duplicate enteries in your StringList when you add strings.
    Be sure to use the TppVariable.OnCalc event for all calculations. I…
  • These events are firing correctly. They fire frequently in order to ensure
    correct pagination throughout the report. If you would like to make
    calculations, be sure to use the TppVariable.OnCalc event.

  • Johnnie,

    In the Report.PrinterSetup property, you have your Printer Name set to
    "Screen" rather than "Default". Make sure to change this in your report
    templates as well. Change this setting and the error will go away.
  • Nick,

    Try changing the Report.Template.FileExtention property to use another file
    extention associated with template files.

  • Sorry, we're still working on it. I will let you know when I find a
    solution.

  • Marc,

    I am not able to recreate your issue on my own machine. Using the
    RBuilder\Demos\3. EndUser\1. Report Explorer\ demo, I placed a MainMenu
    component on the form and set it to be the MergeMenu of the Report Explorer.
    I…
  • Steve,

    This is probably happening due to different processors. RB relies on Delphi
    which relies on the Windows API to define the display format of a number. If
    you would like to see where ReportBuilder sets the display format, …
  • Jon,

    You will need to make sure that the search criteria with the autosearch
    and ShowAll components selected is shown first in the 'where' clause. This
    way the 'or' statement is omitted when ShowAll is selected. In the DADE
  • Jon,

    I tried to recreate the issue you are having on an Oracle 9i database and
    DOA. I found that the error is caused by the date format you are entering
    in as the value for the search criteria. RBuilder relies on Delphi, which…
  • Oliver,

    Try shrinking the size of the label and/or checking the unprintable area of
    the Zebra printer you are using. Try increasing the margins of the report.

  • Yannis,

    Since you are not performing any calculations in a one to one relationship
    with the records, this is the correct approach to take. Using the
    Band.OutOfSpace property in the AfterGenerate event should give you the
    c…
  • Yannis,

    Do not set variables in the AfterPrint or AfterGenerate events. These
    events fire frequently in order to ensure correct pagination through the
    report. Make sure you use the TppVariable.OnCalc event to set variables.
  • Andy,

    Thanks for the suggestion. You can rebuild the RBAddOn packages yourself
    rather than wait for the next release of RBAddOn Components. Below is an
    article explaining how to do this...

  • Andy,

    Check out the RBAddOn Component Set, available from our web site at
    http://www.digital-metaphors.com in the Friends | RCL section. This
    provides extra RB compo…
  • Paul,

    Try setting the Report.CachePages property to true. This should fix the
    issue you are having.

  • Patrick,

    Making the calculations in the dataset would be the easiest way to approach
    this. You can do this by either creating a new column on your existing
    dataset with a calculated field or createing a new dataset with the
  • Ariel,

    Check the printer specifications for the unprintable area (margins) and set
    your report margins to these values.

  • Ariel,

    At design time, you must change the layout manually to make the best use of
    the space the page size allows.

  • Rob,

    1. Take a look in ppFilDev for the TppFileDevice and TppArchiveDevice for
    examples of creating file devices. The ancestor file device has a file
    stream for example. You could create a file device that provides a memory
  • Steve,

    This is stored in the template file, not the .ini file. Try setting the
    Report.PrinterSetup.PaperName property to A4 either at design time or at run
    time and save the report template. This should keep your default paper…
  • Paul,

    You can use variables with the Report Explorer by putting the
    TppVariable.OnCalc events in the Explorer form unit. However the best way
    to use variables in an end-user application would be to use Report
    Application P…
  • Felix,

    Which version of Delphi are you using? Can you uninstall the RBTeeChart
    wrapper packages that RBuilder installed? Try reinstalling the correct
    TeeChart packages by following the Readme in the \RBuilder\TeeChart\

    In RB 6.03 there was a notification error between internal objects. The
    only way to solve your issue would be to upgrade to ReportBuilder 7.02.

  • Wouter,

    This was a known bug in RB 6.03. It has been fixed in ReportBuilder 7.
    Please upgrade to ReportBuilder 7.02. You can order from our web page at

  • 1. The reason you are seeing the crosstab more than once is you have the
    report and the crosstab connected to the same datapipeline. Disconnect the
    report from the datapipeline and the problem should be fixed.

  • Joanne,

    Try closing Delphi and deleting the .dof and .cfg files for your project,
    then relaunching the project.. If this does not help, try changing you

  • Dietrich,

    You need to install the daIBExpress dade plugin package in Delphi.
