  • Hello,

    You may be freeing the report object before the Preview form is being
    closed. Try closing the Preview form before you free anything else and see
    if that makes a difference.

  • Hi Fabio,

    Running ReportBuilder with or without packages should not make a difference
    which language is set. The only reason the preview would go back to the
    default would be that it cannot find the correct files needed to make…
  • Hi Fabio,

    Note that all this information is located in the
    \RBuilder\Languages\ReadMe.doc file.
    Changing the Default Language
    You can change the default language used by ReportBuilder by copying the
    appropriate languag…
  • Frederic,

    This error could mean a number of things... most likely your application is
    having difficulty finding the printer driver handle or you have a resource
    leak somewhere. ReportBuilder 7 is completely thread safe so this …
  • Hi Hans,

    Calling the TppJITPipeline.FreeFields method will remove all current fields
    associatied with a JITPipeline however the JITPipeline will cache it's data
    so even though no fields will show up, it may still act like data s…
  • Hi Bobby,

    Sorry, this is a little confusing. We have a way to read Report Archives
    from a database but we do not have a built in way to write them. This is on
    our wish list for future enhancements. As for now, you will need t…
  • Hi David,

    Are you calculating the sum value in the Footer band with a dynamic height
    Detail band? If so, this may be a limitation of ReportBuilder. Please send
    a small example demonstrating this issue to support@digital-metaph…
  • Hi,

    In the DetailBand.BeforePrint event, set the DetailBand.BandsPerRecord equal
    to the Qte field value. This should give you the results you are after.

  • Hi David,

    Try placing a ShowMessage command inside your RAP function so every time it
    fires, you will see a dialog telling you it's being used. Something like
    the following...

    ShowMessage('MyRapFunction');

  • Hello,

    Even though ReportBuilder uses the specified printer driver to render
    reports, if there is no printer attached to a computer, it will create a
    virtual printer driver using the screen device to allow previewing only.
  • Hi Ace,

    When ReportBuilder loads, it gets all fonts associated with the printer
    driver you have installed. One item that may be an issue is that when there
    are more than one CharSet available, the DEFAULT_CHARSET is used to pre…
  • Hi Sven,

    There is a Polish translation for ReportBuilder available for download from
    our web site in the friends | languages section.

  • Hello,

    This is not a known issue with the CrossTab component. If possible please
    send an example demonstrating the AV error to support@digital-metaphors.com.

  • Hello,

    There were a couple of fixes to the CrossTab component between versions 7.02
    and 7.03. Try updating your version of ReportBuilder to 7.03 and see if
    that fixes the problem. If you need help with updating, please contact…
  • Hi Gary,

    This is not a known issue with ReportBuilder. This behavior could be due to
    a corrupt install of ReporBuilder or a bad video driver. Try re-installing
    ReportBuilder and see if that makes a difference. You might also …
  • Hi John,

    An example would be very helpful. Thanks :).

  • Hi Yelena,

    In my testing with your exact display format below, the AM/PM displayed
    properly when I previewed the report. I used the LastInvoiceDate field of
    the Customers table in the DBDEMOS database. If possible, please try …
  • Hi Steve,

    This was fixed in ReportBuilder 7.03. Please update to the latest version.
    If you need update information, please contact sales@digital-metaphors.com
    with your serial number. (This is a free upgrade).

  • Hi Steve,

    Be sure the TppLine's and TppLabel's ShiftWithParent property is set to
    False. As a test try placing the label and line inside a TppRegion with the
    border set to 0. Then set the memo to ShiftRelativeTo the region so …
  • Hi Michel,

    The PrintCount property is just used to limit the number of Detail bands
    printed per page, not to add extra blank bands. I would suggest using a
    group footer to allocat space below the last detail band printed.
  • Hi,

    Check out CrossTab demo 127 located in the \RBuilder\Demos\CrossTabs\...
    directory. (ct127.pas) for an example of how to customize the CrossTab
    cells.

  • Hi Ruggero,

    The Report Engine does not have any logic in it to determine which type of
    datapipeline you are using. It considers all pipelines the same and groups
    on how the data fields are ordered. Be sure your data is ordered…
  • Hi Tim,

    If a report template has event handlers connected to it and you load it to a
    report object without these event handlers defined, you will run into some
    issues. You then have two choices.

    1. Be sure all event…
  • Hi Tim,

    There is no built in way to add and extract report template files to a .dll
    file. One approach would be to save your template filest in ASCII format
    and then save them as a string in a resourse file (.res). Then you ca…
  • Hi Lauchlan,

    I created an example using the exact code you gave below but was unable to
    recreate the AV error. Though none of the forms using RB would have been
    created yet, many RB objects are created in the Application.Initia…
  • Hi,

    This error indicates that either a valid printer driver cannot be accessed
    or a valid printer device context cannot be created. Typically this is
    thrown when there is not a default printer installed. However, if you are
  • Hi William,

    Thanks for pointing that out. I'll take a look at that and get it fixed.

    --
  • Hi William,

    The reason EnumPropToRec is not working is that the TColor type is not an
    Enumerated type. The TColor type is more like an integer and the specific
    color definitions (ie. clRed, clBlue) are more like constants. Se…
  • Hi Hans,

    The JITPipeline does not work like a normal windows control such as a
    button. All you need to do is make sure the Owner is the same as the Owner
    of the report. Remember you will then need to define the fields. See th…
  • Marc,

    I have tried everything to get this to work but have been unsuccessful. The
    problem is that the CrossTab component contains its own logic to traverse a
    dataset, which prevents the altering of the matrix after all cells ha…
