  • Hi Nico



    Thanks for the demo. It gives me the right clue.


    greetings,
    Ulrich
  • Actually after messing with it for a while I was able to get it work as long
    as each group starts on a new page.
    my test code
    procedure TForm1.ppGroup1AfterGroupBreak(Sender: TObject);
    begin
    fFileDevice.EndJob;
  • Thats is great.
    Can you take it a step further and create a pdf file per Group as we may
    have more than one page per group?
    Thanks again
  • Hi Nico,

    Right, this works very well if PrintHeight=phStatic. What if
    PrintHeight=phDynamic? In other words, if the height of my summary band is
    dynamic (/unpredictable), how can I still ensure that the bottom of the
    s…
  • This appears to do the correct 'non-banker' rounding coupled with the
    correct traversal and reset on the variables.

    Result := int((x*100)+0.5) / 100;


  • Has anyone got an example of how to do the rounding in RAP? I'm trying
    to round to 2 places and sum up a column of numbers as described in the
    original post. ROUNDTO isn't supported so it's either round or trunc
    functions.
  • Steve, i have just spent hours yesterday to look into a similar problem and
    i found out that the error occurs when there is no printer installed on the
    pc.
    As i found on google up to 9.01 a default windows function

  • Hi Nico,

    Thanks so much for the tip. I'll give it a shot and see how it comes out.

    Thanks again.

  • ouch... huge problem...

    The example works fine: the report is generated as it should be generated AT
    THE SCREEN.
    But, when I try to print it on my printer, the pages don't print like they
    should print (they print in a con…
  • Thanks Nico.

    This is exactly what I needed: two separeted reports merged in one, with the
    pages re-ordered like the example, for a duplex printer.
    As I use the reports out of the application (loading the *.rtm files at
    runt…
  • Thanks Nico, but yu didn't understand my question.

    What's happening is that the report isn't builded for printing yet.... I
    have to print the first report with all pages and the second report with all
    pages too.
    The problem…

  • Hi Nico,

    I emailed you the report template I am having the trouble with.
    one is in RB7 format, the other in RB9.03 format.
    The attachment is 'Template_Examples.zip'

    The template is simple with 7 fields and in my testi…
  • Nico,

    Aha, so I need a relational datastructure in my code.
    I tried it and it works great.

    thanks

  • hi nico,

    setting the device´s PageSetting to psPageList finally produced the
    desired result.
    thanks to you my custom preview-class is working perfectly now!

    besides,
    one issue I discovered is when adding a Print…
  • Modifying the SQLText make my report become 10 times slow then before.

    I imagine that somewhere the RB creates the SQL Statement. At this
    place, i request the RB put the NOLOCK keyword for every table used at the
    query.<…

  • Ok, I installed 9.03...However when I run the report, anything thats being
    built on the fly in an RTF box is STILL very messed up...the font is VERY
    blurry...now right now the font is garamond, but I tried arial as well and
    it does…
  • I just noticed on a previous post that there is a 9.03. We never recieved
    an email about it though.

    Same thing happened with 9.02, never got the email.

    Can you email me a link for it?

  • EAN 128 is the is the bare code type we use ( Large 32 + chars wide)
  • buppcpp,

    Next version of Delphi includes C++ and C# built-in. Price is
    same as any upgrade.

    Thanks,

    Your reporting tool is good, but not that good to justify the cost of buying
    Delphi just to use your tool.
  • 2 hours later. I had deleted the MasterDataPipeline between the
    coressponance & Master pipelines but I finally found that the field links
    had remained. Should this happen?

    Cheers

    Another day another dollar
  • The post has not appeared at my office PC hence the new post. Sorry for the
    duplicate.

  • Nico,

    Thanks for the reply but I also need to be able to add components - can I
    not do this graphically?

  • Nico,

    Thank you for the example code/project.

    When I ran it, I rec'd an AV error. Tracing it led me to:

    procedure TppProducer.PublishReport;
    begin
    FPublisher.Publish;
    end;
