  • Chris,
    Since I used 2 completely different brands of computers,
    I would think that the printer driver is not the problem.

    On a new report the lines didn't print on any pages but
    it still (for the old report) pr…
  • Jon,

    I wasn't able to print the line in clNavy, even when I used a thicker line. But then it wasn't printed on all pages.
    I used a HP4000 laserprinter. Using a black line printed fine.
    But I don't know if it is a printer driver …
  • Hi Chris,
    A real puzzle... changing the colour to black fixed the problem.
    The default was Navy but the report was being printed to a B&W
    laser printers ( a Lexmark Optra R+ and a HP III).

    Why it prints only…
  • Hi Jon,

    works fine for me, does it happen in a newly created report too?
    BTW, the latest version of ReportBuilder is 7.02.

  • As far as remember, EAN128A is just a subset of characters within EAN128.

    So it should be supported by bcCode128 without any change.

    I myself use ReportBuilder to generate EAN128 barcodes with great success.

  • Thanks Jim.

    Slight problem though, I am implementing the code in Rap & it doesn't have
    access to ppReport1.Footer.PrintPosRect.Top.

    Cheers

  • Hi Nico,

    Thanks for the suggestion, but that is not quite what I am after.

    By putting the summary information into a group footer it prints in the
    column where the data ended. My summary is full width & does not relate…
  • Thanks Nico, it works.

    I have another problem during the above situation I have to switch the
    visiblity of a TppGroupFooterBand programaticaly. Rather than refering it by
    name is there a way where I can refer to it like Group Fo…
  • Thanks Nico

    Fixed it.

    Excuse me but I don't know where post my message.

    Very sorry

  • Hi Jeff,

    using the Windows API function is the right decision.

  • So, in the code, for the report writer version we have would I look in the windows directory for RBuilder.ini by using the GetWindowsDirectory function? Or is there some other spot in the Report writer code it is getting this
    directory from?<…
  • Hi Jeff,

    yes this is a rights issue. Since ReportBuilder 6 you can define the location or using the registry as storage.
    But since you mean that you cannot update to the actual version I would check at startup if the file exists. Whe…
  • Leah,

    as I already said, I can't reproduce the problem. I tested with (D5, RBE 5.6) and (D7, RBE 7.02).
    Can you create a simple application that reproduces the problem and send it to support?

    regards,

  • I started it within Delphi's IDE and then outside. Same problem with
    closing both times. Ran the exe on both Windows 2000 and XP. Same problem.

    When I compiled it in Delphi 6, I did not have this problem, but this is
    not an …
  • Hi Leah,

    when I create a application like you mentioned then I get the 'Invalid Template Error' as expected but I have no problems in closing the application. Did you start the application from inside Delphi's IDE? If that is the case sta…
  • Thanks for that....

    I had make sure the Summay Band was set to static as well then I could
    easily position the Band where I needed it to go.

    Cheers

    If you are doing form based reports (vs storing the report in a file or DB
    table) you can simply click on the label, press F11 in Delphi to bring up

  • Thanks for your answer.
    I don't know why but I had to delete the "requires" from the package and
    then, I could compile.

  • Hi Jim,

    I use the RB 7,02 and develop with delphi 6 enterprise Build 6,24 updates
    luggage 2. The demo projects including MDI run without problems.
    However also my MDI Childform needs very much resources, since it contains a
  • Cheers Nico for the email.

    I can do what you have said. Just to finish with this, should I create
    TppReport with owner as application and then when the application finishes
    it will free the TppReport object?

  • Hi,

    After some extensive research and remembering what Nico said about looking
    for components on a subReport, I changed the following code :

    //var
    // ppChildReport : TppChildReport;
    //begin
    // if FppReport…

  • Thanks Jim,
    In creating a simple project I also was able to get it to work correctly.
    However, I am still having problems getting my not so simple project to do

  • Well, I received the patch and it worked. Thanks so much.

  • I was not clear - this problem occurs just in
    preview mode - client needs to work from the screen at times.
    There are no skipped records when print to paper.

  • Do you have the cross tab's report/sub report owner's pipeline assigned?
    Clear that (or set it appropriately).
