  • Before I try,
    When it comes to bitmaps do we get 1 bitmap per page or how does that
    work?
  • You can also try TExtraDevices which allow you to export your reports to BMP, WMF, JPEG, TIFF and seven
    other formats. Information and a demo are at www.waler.com.

  • Thanks for the idea. I kept looking at the database itself and the data
    in it kept changing. I added a dbgrid and found that the data in the
    original data source is not being updated. This is a project I just took
    over. In doing th…
  • Hi!

    Well, I have noticed that the problem only appears when previewing the
    report (not printing)
    Is it possible to show the Cancel Dialog when previewing the report?

    Before printing, I show the report in a TppViewer, …

    I have one report that will conceivable have thousands of pages printed out
    on the same time--with graphs et al. For this, I…
  • Nico,

    I have reduced the new machine to bare metal and re-started my install
    again. The results have been good. I have been adding a single
    component at a time, running database desktop, running a sample DB app
    and then …
  • Nico,

    While it irks me no end that RB6 doesn't work with TeeChart 4.03
    (and that I didn't save the 4.02 install files when I 'upgraded' to
    4.03), I let the gun-to-the-forehead approach work and bought RB7. The
    results hav…
  • If RB6 and Teechart 4 doesnt work, and RB6 and Teechart 6 doesn't work, what
    does work? What are the advantages by the way of creating a report with

    metafile and se…
  • Dominique,

    you need to have Delphi. Ask the developer of your report application.

  • Hi,

    How can I use this component? All I have access to is the Data, Calc,Design
    and Preview in Report Builder. Can I still use this code?

    Thanks

  • Hi Etienne,

    it is a component from Artem A. Berman. you can download it from http://www.digital-metaphors.com/rcl/bldctls.zip

    We need to modify this properties using "Calc" sheet.
    We doesn't find the properties ppReport1.Summary.PrintPosRect.Top and

    Thanks for that info. I have never compiled a project with runtime packages.
    What is involved there if I may ask?

    The ReportBuilder installation program can automatically detect which version of TeeChart you are using and install the appropriate support units and packages. If you have installed TeeChart after ReportBuilder is already …

    I guess it is a typo.

  • > Greyscaling is driver independent. Make sure you have the latest printer

    BTW: If Greyscaling is driver independent, why changing drivers would help?

    Bernd
  • I am not sure, if I am happy with this answer. My question is (or better the
    question of my pestilent customer): Why can Word print greyscale and RB not?
    (Remember: On the same machine/printer, so it can?t be a matter of the
    driver)
  • Nico,
    I have managed to stop this happening before in v6.03, so it is not a
    problem with that version of RB. We are planning to upgrade to v7, but not
    before we release the version of our software. I was just looking for some
    tip…
  • Nico,
    Have implemented this in a sub-report now, i don't seem to be having any
    problems with left-to-right traversal in v6.03.

  • Unless I misunderstand the meaning of 'columnar' (an adj, Webster defines as
    "of, relating to, resembling, or characterized by columns"), 6.03 did do
    column reports. There was an issue (ie they didn't work) with left-to-right
    columns…

    Yes. (I like easy questions). And for those interested in how: file/page
    setup/layout.




    Yes. Here's a few reports I …
  • I'm now guessing that this is a side effect of something else, but nothing
    comes to mind.

    Why would report builder need rbprint for win98 but not for w2k? And why
    does it need it at all for this app, but not for others?
  • Hi Jeremy,

    an 'illegal operation' failure is a new issue.
    What about using some kind of exception handling?
    Try to find the line of code that causes the failure. It isn't possible to find the reason from the given description.
  • Ok, I copied rbprint.cst as rbprint.dft to the windows\system directory on
    the win98 system. RegMon no longer shows a failure in finding this file,
    but my app doesn't work any better than before.

    The app gives a the error
  • Hi Jeremy,

    'rbPrint.cst' is in fact a DLL You can turn any of those language resources into the default one by changing the extension to 'dft'.
    See 'International Language Support' in chapter 'REPORTBUILDER FUNDAMENTALS - DEPLOY'.
  • Jim, I don't understand this. I looked in RBuilder.pdf. It says that if I
    can deploy either as a single exe or with packages. I am making a single
    exe. The pdf does not seem to say that I need to deploy anything else other
    than th…
  • Jon,

    If you need the clNavy lines I would send a message to support (I don't have any idea how to solve it, unfortunately)
