  • Hi Stan,

    I assume you are using TppVariables in your the DetailBand to calculate the
    product of the item price multiplied by the quantity to get the item total.
    To calculate the grand totals I would place new TppVariables in you…
  • Hi Roger,

    If you are unable to make the calculations in SQL, you have two options...

    1. Make your calculations in Delphi and output the data to a built in
    Delphi object such as a TStringList. Then pull the pre-sorted dat…

  • Hi Bill,

    1. Unfortunately, the default file type selected in the printdialog is hard
    coded to be the first item in the list. It is possible to customize any of
    the forms in ReportBuilder so you could create a copy of the ppPDlg…
  • Hi Matthew,

    I would recommend trying to break up your calculations below into a few more
    intermediate steps. In past experience, this seemed to solve many problems.
    If you are still having an issue, please send an example that …
  • Hi Frederic,

    I put together an example that may help you with the solution I provided in
    my earlier post. Hope this helps.

  • Hi Frederic,

    Unfortunately there is not built in way to do this in ReportBuilder
    (although there should be). The easiest way to work around this issue would
    be to make separate Report.Print calls for each copy you need. I will…
  • Hi Kuba,

    Unfortunately it is not possible to export RichText to a ReportTextFile. As
    a workaround, you could connect a text component to the rich text data and
    toggle the visibility of the text component and RichText component …
  • Hi Stijn,

    1. To get the header to print on each page, I would disable the main report
    header and make duplicate headers for each subreport you have.

    2. You will need to change the ZOrder of the subreports to get them to<…
  • Hi Stijn,

    Instead of using groups, try simply placing two Section style subreports on
    your main report inside the detail band. This will give you the two pages
    you are after.

  • Hi Alex,

    You may want to think about using one of the third party export tools to
    export your entire repor to RichText format rather than trying to dump your
    results into a TppRichText component. This way you could export an en…
  • Hi Edward,

    This information is saved in the RBuilder.ini file. Do a search on your
    hard drive for this file and delete it. By default it is in you
    Windows\System32\... directory.

  • Hi Edward,

    All of the toolbars in the Report Designer can be enabled and disabled by
    selecting the View | Toolbars |... menu option in the Designer. Be sure the
    "Edit" toolbar is selected.

  • Hi Martijn,

    Sorry, I had forgotten about our discussion on using a Master/Detail
    relationship with JITPipelines. Still, the reason you are loosing some of
    your data is that you are closing your detail pipeline during report
  • Hi Martijn,

    1. Where would you like the subreport to begin printing? ReportBuilder is
    working as designed. With KeepTogether set to True, the subreport will move
    to the next page. If it is then too big to fit on the entire n…
  • Hi Martijn,

    1. With KeepTogether set to True, a subreport by definition will try to
    move itself to a new page if there is not enough room on the current page.
    I am a bit unclear the problem you are expriencing.

    2. P…
  • Hi Chris,

    There is an add-on component RotatedText available that allows Labels to be
    printed at different angles in ReportBuilder. You can download this
    component from our web site in the friends | rcl section.

  • Hi David,

    Yes, you should be able to do this in a descendent preview class that you
    can register. There is a new key catcher object in the preview which began
    in RB 7.01. However, if the focus is in the text search or outline co…
  • Hi Glenn,

    Sorry about the delay in this response. I had to install SQL server to do
    some testing before I could find the solution to the issue you were having.
    It looks as though ReportBuilder only places double quotes around f…

    I do not seem to have the Terminal font. If possible could you send it to
    me so I can test on my machines? support@digital-metaphors.com

  • Hi Cris,

    We have never heard of this behavior using the RotatedText add-on component.
    Please send a small example in .zip format demonstrating the problem and
    I'll take a look at it. You may also want to contact the creator of …
  • Hello,

    Try downloading the file again. I moved some code to the
    Report.OnPrintingComplete event. By the time this event fires (granted you
    selected the OK button), the Copies property will have been updated.

  • Hello,

    Sorry, I understand now. This is not a bug, in ReportBuilder (as well as
    most Windows applications) when a dialog is cancelled, all entered property
    values are lost.

    It is possible to replace any ReportBuilder…
  • Hi,

    I tested your code below on my computer and it seemed to work correctly.
    Below is a link to the test app I made. Let me know what I'm doing wrong.
    I'm using ReportBuilder 7.03 with Delphi 7.

  • Hi,

    This is correct, it is always a good idea to preprocess your data before
    letting ReportBuilder handle it. This makes for a better running report
    with few output surprises as this was the way ReportBuilder was designed to

  • ReportBuilder is currently available for the Windows platform only.

    There is currently not enough market demand for a Linux solution to justify
    the development and support costs. Thought it may change in the future,

  • Hi Naz,

    As a test, try downloading a trial version of ReportBuilder 7.03 and running
    your reports with that. Be sure to back up any templates you might load
    before opening them in 7.03. If you are still having the problem, per…
  • Hi,

    By definition, the crosstab component will order it's data alphebetically
    regardless how the data is ordered in your dataset. A work-around to this
    would be to create a new field in your dataset with the letters A - L in
