  • Whitney,

    Use the example code in my previous post in the OnGetAutoSearchValues event
    after you retrieve the AutoSearch values (as shown in then example located
    at \RBuilder\Demos\5. AutoSearch\1. AutoSearch Field to SQL Params.)…
  • Whitney,

    You will need to convert the autosearch field value entered by the user to
    the Advantage date format.

    ReportBuilder Professional or Enterprise contain Query tools that can do
    this for you. However, with the s…
  • Whitney,

    Check out the autosearch demos located in the \RBuilder\Demos\5.
    AutoSearch\... directory. Especially see the "AutoSearch Field to Table
    Filter" demo.

  • Ivan,

    Sounds like you need to use the CrossTab component. Check out the CrossTab
    demos located in the \RBuilder\Demos\2. CrossTabs... directory.

  • Paul,

    Try running your report on another machine and see if this helps. If you
    can successfully run on another machine you may have to re-install Delphi to
    completely clear out your registry.

  • Paul,

    It looks as though you may have a corrupt install. Please read the article
    below for information on cleaning and fixing this issue.

  • Paul,

    You have the latest version of ReportBuilder. Please send an example
    demonstrating this problem to support@digital-metaphors.com and we'll test
    with our machines.

  • Paul,

    Which version of ReportBuilder are you using? Make sure you have RB 7.02
    Build 2 dated 03/17/03. Do you receive this error at runtime? Are you
    perhaps using a TDataModule?

  • Andy,

    Using Advantage with ADO and ReportBuilder has never fully been tested. If
    you would like to see a chart of which databases have been tested with which
    connectivity software, please see the RBuilder.hlp in the ReportBuild…
  • Andy,

    How are you linking the Advantage sets? If you have not already, try using
    datapipeline linking for your Master Detail links. If you are using
    standard Delphi linking with parameters, try switching to datapipeline
    l…
  • Richard,

    Try setting the StretchWithParent property to True. This force the
    non-stretchable controls to stretch with the particular band that it is in.

    Try contacting Marques Sobrinho, the creator of FIBPlus for support with
    this issue (marquesbr@ig.com.br). You can also surf the FIBPlus website for
    more information (ht…
  • Paul,

    I created something similar to what you described below and it seemed to
    work correctly. Below is a link to the example I created. Please feel free
    to send an example of your code that demonstrates this behavior to
  • Pat,

    Make sure the images are not being resized when loading to the upgraded
    version. Please send an example demonstrating the problem to
    support@digital-metaphors.com and we'll take a look.

  • Hi Goran,

    Currently a zooming capability in the Design mode of the Report Designer is
    one of the items on our to-do list for future enhancements. It is hard to
    say exactly when this feature will be available but we have had eno…
  • Hi Goran,

    Thank you for evaluating ReportBuilder!

    1. The zoom capability is only available in Preview mode. This is not
    currently available in Design mode.

    2. You can use the OnPreviewFormCreate event to acce…
  • Mark,

    TeeChart was not designed to be placed in a report. We have more or less
    forced it to work with ReportBuilder. In your situation, you will need to
    create the charts separate of ReportBuilder, then import the image of the…
  • Gary,

    We have successfully tested the Zebra 2746 Label printer driver with
    ReportBuilder without any problems. Can you see the problem in the preview?
    If so, please send us an example report so we can try it with your driver
  • Jeff,

    ReportBuilder does not have any explicit support for MBCS. This is on our
    to-do list.

  • Jeff,

    You need to create two subreports connected to the same datapipeline, then
    choose the fields from the same record. For instance, the first subreport
    (page) prints the first 20 fields, then the second subreport prints the …
  • This is a multi-part message in MIME format.
  • Paul,

    Most likely you are freeing the form before the report has finished
    executing. If you are trying to free the form, you need to do so after the
    report has printed. Try calling Report.Cancel before you do so and see if
  • Gian,

    If you are trying to show "page" in a different language, you may just need
    to change the Report.Language property and the static words will
    automatically be translated. The article below explains how enable

  • Hi Goran,

    Thank you for evaluating ReportBuilder! The first time a report is loaded,
    we initialize your printer driver. Depending on your network speed to the
    printer this could affect the speed at which RB can get informatio…
  • Morten,

    You will need to alter the Custom Dataviews that we provide to connect to
    your database. Then you should be able to use the TClientDataset however
    you need and hook it up to a datasource, then to a datapipeline and a

    Try creating a Custom Dataview Template. There is an example of creating a
    custom dataview in the \RBuilder\Demos\3. EndUser\2. Custom Data Views...
    directory. This example show how to register your own dataview to be …
  • Nigel,

    Try using the Page Style to print the images for the boxes. The Page Style
    will always print behind the main report bands and is perfect for form
    emmulation. To access the Page Style, select the Report | Page Style menu…
  • Russell,

    Thanks for sharing :).
