  • Jim,
    That's exactly the solution I thought of.
    By the way the site with the tips seems to be very useful but I cannot get
    into it. I get the message "Your are not authorized to view this page" when

  • Thank you Jim. This works.
    Can I do the same in RAP? I tried to save the current position in a global
    var using "ppReport1.Engine.PrintPosRect.Top" but I get error when compiling
    the error "Error DetailAfterPrint. Line 3: Expecting ( …
  • Nico,
    It works - Thanks!

  • Please note the reply from Nico Cizik below. This is unfortunate indeed.

    Warren,

    Sorry but the 'new column on group break' property was never meant to be
    used with a left to right traversal in a report. This feature is o…
  • I'm using 7.02 with Delphi 6 and Windows XP.
    I'm getting the same problem if I use the trial 7.2 version.
    I'll send you an example

  • I'm having the same problem re column position.

    Also - with multiple columns and column traversal left to right, and a group
    header the detail band overwrites the group header.





  • The Start New Column option was not selected, but when I did select it, it
    fixed the formatting problems, but each new group started to print on a
    separate page, without that option being selected.

    Basically I need to create a r…
  • Nico;

    I tested the printer with another print program and Delphi and works
    fine. So it's not the printer. It's RB 6.x. Now I hope this problem
    doesn't exist in RB 7.x. Have you guys tested RB 7.x with USB printers?
    --
  • Nico;


    I do have the 7.x, but I'm in the middle of releasing a new version, and
    I don't want to bring 7.x into the picture at this point.

    However, do you know of a "Known" problem in 6.x and USB printers?

  • there is a picture lib available from Mike Lischke.
    It enhances directly Borlands image-componants. You can use a lot of new
    formats in RB.

    Thanks for the response. I did not think that a point release would
    make a difference. I still don't see why I could not recompile that
    last package. It is stopping in a IFDEF Delp…

  • Thanks Nico for replying.

    If I ommit the "Template" field from the sql statement then Report
    Explorer.Execute fails ?
    How can I execute the Report Explorer?
    What do I set the Report Explorer.ItemFieldNames.Template to ?
  • Nico,

    Thanks, the sample code is exactly what I needed.
    (The sample creates extra lines for handwritten notes,
    which is exactly what my addional lines are used for.)

    After you posted your reply, I finally bought the u…
  • Thanks Kevin, will await further details. I have a HPLJ4L and works fine
    with that. AFAIK my report works fine on laser printers.

    Cheers

  • Tony, I'm having the same problem using RB 6.03, D6E, WinNT 4.x,
    HPLJ4, with the latest driver from HP. My page setup is for printing
    a custom 8 inch wide by 5 inch high card, with full width header and
    footer, and with two 4 inch c…
  • I should have said ...."truncates 3 columns"
  • Managed to get hold of an HP Deskjet 610C.

    It truncates three lines also, but this time from the left. The Officejet
    was truncating from the right.

    Should I just code all my landscape reports to start and finish within
  • Nico,

    Not sure I really understand the answer.
    I specify the report in RB as a landscape report. AFAIK the client hasn't
    changed the printer setup, has printed the report and it prints fine in
    landscape.
    The only probl…
  • I forgot, I moved the subreport to the detail of the main report.

  • I am still having problems getting a Grand total on a report from the detail
    entries and the totals from subreports. The example uses I belive RB 7 and I
    am using 6.03. I looked at the code and the report and it is not exactly
    what I …
  • This is great. But I need to be able to do this for end user reports. My
    end users are not using delphi.

  • I use a TStringList to store values in Id=value format. I must do this for
    some special calculations in Subreport.
    What do you suggest?
    how can I know, whether this condition occurs?

    Have you got any news ?
