Hi Dan,
During the development process of ReportBuilder it is always an ongoing task
to find and fix these kinds of issues. We are currently converting all of
our code to work with Delphi 8 so there is a good chance that if we … -
Hi Daniel,
Thanks for the information. Please send the changes you've made to
support@digital-metaphors.com and I will test and make sure they are added
to the next release.

Hi Ray,
I'm not sure I understand the question. ReportBuilder uses its own
datapipeline archetecture to enable it to connect and retrieve data from
virtually any datasource. It is also possible to connect your subreport to
Hi,
The easiest/best way to locate a component in a report is to use a report
object loop. See the article below for more information.

You can access the file name using the Report.PrintDialog.TextFileName
property after you have closed the print dialog.

Hi Hugo,
Sorry for the delay in this response. In my testing with ReportBuilder
7.03, I was unable to recreat this behavior. Please download a trial
version of RB 7.03 for Delphi 5 and test with that.

Hi Hugo,
Which version of ReportBuilder/Delphi are you using? Is this happening at
design time or runtime? Are you saving your report as a template (.rtm)
file or are you exporting to a separate file format? When you define t…Hi Diederik,
Sorry, this is a limitation of the ReportBuilder engine. There is a way to
work around this limitation by altering your datasets and using a mixture of
nested groups and subreports. You can download an example of …Hi Michael,
Are you using the same Report object for all the reports you want to
preview? This is probably where the problem lies. You may need to either
place or create a new report object for each preview dialog you want to<…Hi Al,
You can use the Designer.Menu property to access the main menu of the
designer and alter it how you need. You will want to add something like the
following to your code.

Unfortunately when using TeeChart inside ReportBuilder you are using a
limited "wrapper" component around the actual TeeChart component. Using the
Series Dataset is not supported in ReportBuilder. A work around wo…Hi Helmut,
Thanks for the information. I was a little stumped when you said the "Sort"
checkbox was unchecked, but I soon found that you meant the "Collate"
checkbox (probably a language difference). Anyway, there is a patchHi Helmut,
Ok, let's try to simplify the problem. If you simply place an empty report
object on a form, load the image and try to print more than one copy of it,
do you still get the error? Next add IBObjects into the mix keep…Hi Helmut,
What type of image are you trying to print? Are you able to see the image
in the designer at design time or at runtime? If you would like, you can
send a copy of the image to support@digital-metaphors.com and I'll t…Hi Svein,
We have not heard of this issue before. As a test, try loading a couple of
your reports in RB 7 (converting them to the RB 7 format), then saving them
back to your database as that format. If this solves the problem,…Hi Peter,
We did have an issue like this when the user defined the page range and
tried to print multiple copies of the report. There is a patch available
for this bug. Please send an email to support@digital-metaphors.com if …I will research this further and get back to you asap.

Helmut,
When the cancel button is pressed, ReportBuilder will not cancel the report
until the current page has been printed. Which version of ReportBuilder are
you using. Have you tested this with a trial version of RB 7.03? …Hi Rick,
Unfortunately, ReportBuilder does not support this type of formatting. My
only suggestion would be to create this somehow as a richtext document and
import it into a TppRichText component.

Hi Rob,
You are correct, using the OnCalc event with a TppVariable is much safer
than using a TppLabel. When you place a TppVariable on a report, you can
edit it's datatype by using the combo box in the Designer toolbar. If yo…Hi Dmitry,
You need to use a TppVariable component to make this calculation. You can
set the value of the TppVariable inside the TppVariable.OnCalc event.
Something like the following...

ReportBuilder makes calculations based on teh z-order of the components on
the report. You can change this order by using the Send to Back and Bring
to Front features for each component. (Right click popup memu opti…Hi,
You need to set the StretchWithParent property of the TppLine to True. This
is a published property and is available in the Delphi Object Inspector and
in the designer by right clicking on the line component.

Sorry about that, I misunderstood the question. Parameters are probably the
best way to go with this. The reason the TppVariable's value is not showing
up is because ReportBuilder initialized all variable values before the…Hi,
I would suggest using one of the template events to do this. The OnLoadEnd
event should do the trick.

Yes we did have some issues with users running out of memory when using
bitmaps or other image types in their reports. There is a patch available
for this issue. Please send an email to support@digital-metaphors.com<…Hi Ronny,
As far as I know, Borland is not making any radical changes to Interbase.
Interbase 7.1 should be ok to use with ReportBuilder.

Hi John,
I'm sorry, ReportBuilder does not support Unicode charsets.

Hi Magnus,
The only thing I can think of is that there is some event handler code
somewhere that is firing at the wrong time occationally and causing the
report engine to become confused. Check to be sure you are not processing…
