  • Thanks for the suggestion.

  • Maarten,

    This is not a specific feature of ReportBuilder. You will need to either
    give your users access to RAP, or create some sort of custom dialog in
    Delphi that performs a similar task that Demo 33 does: Located in the
  • Hi Alexander,

    Please contact your Excel device vendor.

  • Nagen,

    Check out demo 72 located in the \RBuilder\Demos\1. Reports\... directory
    (dm0072.pas). This example shows how to tell if a report has continued to
    the next page and places a "continued..." message if it has.

  • David,

    Be sure you add ppJPEG to your 'uses' clause to enable jpeg support in
    ReportBuilder.

  • David,

    Go into RAP at runtime and make sure you have access to your datapipeline.
    If not, you may have a naming descrepency. Please send a small example
    demonstrating the problem to support@digital-metaphors.com and we'll find …
  • Gary,

    ReportBuilder supports the brush styles that Delphi supports. In viewing
    the Delphi help on TBrushStyle, I do not see a bsBricks defined. You may
    have to define a custom bitmap for the brush style if you want to use
  • Jaline,

    ReportBuilder does not support the grouping of TeeChart components. You
    will have to use separate datasets for each TeeChart that you have in your
    report.

  • Barry,

    Chris is correct. There is no way to change the size of the field box. The
    boxes are defined by the actual field length stored in the database. You
    can view the field length by stretching the Data Tree to show the fiel…
  • Hi Eduardo,

    Sorry about the delay in this response. Are you able to create a
    Master-Detail Drilldown report without using FibPlus. Try getting one
    working just using the BDE before adding FibPlus into the picture. If you

  • Eduardo,

    The Report Outline is not supported for DrillDown reports. You can turn off
    the outline by selecting the Report | Outline Settings... menu option in the
    Report Designer and un-checking the "Enabled" property.

  • Eduardo,

    What is the problem you are having with drilldown reports? Please describe
    the issue you are having and we will work toward a solution for you.

  • Chris,

    This is not a known issue. If you try to access your data directly from
    your Delphi application, does the speed increase? Check your BDE settings
    and be sure that your BlobToCache and BlobSize entries have sufficient
  • Nagen,

    You will not want to use the Detail.BeforePrint event when trying to
    enable/disable components in the header band. Try using the
    Header.BeforePrint event and see if that helps.

  • Ladrillo,

    This is not a standard method of linking datasets in ReportBuilder. We
    recommend you keep all datasets either on a form or in a template. Using
    RAP, you could create a pass thru function performing a similar task as …
  • Ladrillo,

    Yes this is possible. Below are links to a couple examples that show how to
    link a standard Delphi dataset to and from a DADE dataview.

    - Example 1: DADE Dataview is the Master.

  • Ladrillo,

    Try calculating the totals in a new dataset and retrieving the totals from
    there, or simply ordering by the actual products in your original dataset.
    Then you can group by product as you need in the report and perform …
  • Lars,

    Try using a DBCalc to display the information and make sure it's LookAhead
    property is set to True. If this does not give you the results you are
    after, it is possible to create a variable and move the TppDrawCommand to
  • Ronny,

    Be sure you have the latest version of ReportBuilder 7.02 Build 2 dated
    03/03/17 7:02am. If you do, you may have a corrupt install or are using
    resources from a previous install. Read the article below on how to clean a…
  • Neil,

    You are only required to own a deployment license for each CPU that the
    actual Report Server is running on. Not the client software.

    If for instance you plan to run a report server from a machine at your
    office…
  • Neil,

    You may want to check out ReportBuilder Server Edition using a client
    report. This way you can keep the printer driver on the server and use it
    to display the individual reports.

  • Hello,

    You do not need to re-compile all the TeeChart packages. Only the
    ReportBuilder wrapper packages. Please follow the directions given in the
    ReportBuilder help in the ReportBuilder Reference | TeeChart | Delphi X...
  • Rodger,

    Yes, you will need to recompile the RB Chart component. Be sure to follow
    the instructions for recompiling in the RBuilder help as described in my
    earlier post.

  • Rodger,

    TeeChart 6.01 has been successfully tested with ReportBuilder 7.02. Be sure
    that you install TeeChart 6.01 before you install ReportBuilder, or you can
    follow the instructions given in the RBuilder help in the ReportBui…
  • Hi,

    Which version of Delphi are you using. See the RBuilder help in the
    ReportBuilder Reference | TeeChart | Delphi X... section to find out which
    versions of TeeChart are supported for your version of Delphi and
    ReportBui…
  • Hi Michael,

    Below is a link to an example that changes the font size based on the given
    amount of space to print. Notice that on screen, some of the fields seem to
    overflow, but if you send the report to the printer, the sizing…
  • Hi Reid,

    You can add extending lines at the bottom of a report by creating individual
    draw commands to handle each line. Below is an example of printing lines to
    the bottom of a report after the dataset has finished traversing.…
  • Hi Dirk,

    If you've taken out the Delphi Parameters and disabled the Report Outline,
    there is not much else you can do with ReportBuilder to speed up the
    process. The rest of the speed restrictions would have to lie within your<…
  • Dirk,

    How are you linking your dataset? Do not link your master-detail datasets
    using Delphi parameters as this will slow your performance substantially.
    Try ordering your datasets and using DataPipeline links. To see an examp…
  • Hi Dirk,

    Try taking the TClientDataset out of the equation and pulling the data you
    need directly off of the database you are using and see if that helps. In
    testing ReportBuilder, we have successfully processed 10 to 20 thousa…
