  • Nico,

    My paths are set as follows and MyChkBox is included in the modules uses
    clause. The problem occurs whenever I do a build all or try to save the
    datamodule the reports are on, but only after I've edited the reports.
  • Nico,

    I still keep getting the same error. I've checked the package and it is
    installed. I also get the following when I do a build all, could this
    be the problem?

  • BTW

    the raIDE unit was in the uses and would be an issue for
    some users who are not aware of the unit's purpose.

  • Let's see now 16 minutes from question to answer!!
    Are you slowing down Nard?

    Thanks for the speedy response.

  • Nico...MaintainAspectRatio doesn't work because the picture has a set
    dimension that we have to fit ANY size photo into...

    For instance...if the endusers choose a 4x6 graphic...then whatever size
    photo they have, gets shoved i…
  • Hi,

    I use a TEXT field and that works. Maybe NTEXT will work also.
    What I did is: I made a new test app from scratch with a ADOConnection,
    ADODataset, ppDBPipeline, TPPReport, TPPDesigner, TPPViewer(that's out of
    the top …
  • Hi Nico,

    I am saving the template in text format, so I use field type ntext.
    I really did not change a thing in the project, BUT, yes I am using Delphi
    2006 now. Maybe because of that?
    So, what can I do?

    Thanks<…
  • Hello,

    You said

    For template in text the field type should be TEXT?

    I get the same error load form database (using SQL Server and ADO). Could
    the pipeline is still empty, so no fields are available?

  • Hi

    I've noticed the same.
    But only if the report is defined as a two-way report. That means that the
    report will calculate all pages at once and then show the first one. But
    when you set the report to one-way and go to th…
  • Ok, I solved it with a simple...

    TdaQueryDataView(lDataView).SQL.SQLType:=sqSQL2;

    ...before adding the SearchCriterias.


  • Hi, Bob...

    Thanks for the tip, but what about other criteria types?
    I get the error with simple "soEqual" criteria. They are always added with a
    "double quotes", and DBISAM doesn't understand them


  • Santy,

    This caused me some grief when I first came across the issue. This occurs
    to handle the possibility of commas in a string. The following is an
    example of the syntax needed to build a soBetween criteria:

  • Falkor,

    If the print behavior of the subreport is pbChild, this is expected outcome
    as the parent report controls the header and footer.

  • thanks for the reply...


  • Sorry,
    It is not easy to upgrade.
    Setting the transparent property to true the problem is solved, so we are
    ok.
    However can you think of some possible reason that this happens?
    Thanks
    Yannis

  • Hi Nico,

    I am using RB 6.03 in D5 (legacy application).
    The printer is Epson epl-n 2750.
    What we observed is that when the Transparent = true the problem goes away!

  • Yes, that makes more sense.

    So how can I locate the statusbar on the previewform, it doesn't look like
    it's exposed...?

    This works: lPreviewForm.Caption := 'Got to here';

    This doesn't: …
  • Was TppClientReport introduced in RB 7? I can't seem to find the declartion
    for it so this won't compile. (I have a license for RB10 Server but just
    haven't gotten there yet :-) Or maybe I'm not following...

  • Some additional issues:

    * Use end-user application (I used IB Express)
    * Open a report with subreports
    * Select a subreport tab in the designer (except the main report)
    * Close the designer
    * Reopen the report from the…
  • Ups .. nevermind I solve my problem ... I had some old dcu in other folder,

    I have emailed you my BPL files for TeeChart for you to try

  • Yes, that works but is a hassle to instruct the users on how to find the
    .ini file on their system...and then another question is if they can
    even delete it with their security. It breaks again when you do the
    same thing. (You kn…
  • Just for the record, we've finally been in a position to upgrade to RB
    v10.02 and integrate it into our application. I can confirm that this issue
    is now corrected.

    Thank you for your time.

    Did you manage to recreate the problem with the conditions I set out?

  • Nico,

    I have finally managed to replicate the problem using a very basic test
    program. I've been trying to emulate on this test the things that we're
    doing in our software, but the bold/italic/underlines buttons were still
  • Just a little more information. If I select the object and use the Report
    Explorer to the change the font style, it works. So I can make objects

    a simple test with a report and designer component and ran it on XP. Sure
    enough, the style buttons worked on the selected control. So now I have to

  • Hi Nico,

    I can't determine if this is happening at design-time because I'm developing
    on a Win2k machine. At run-time on this PC, there is no fault.

    We have now tried it at run-time on 3 Windows XP machines and on all 3, t…
  • Just to follow this up, it does set the justification, font color and
    highlight of a control, but bold, italic and underline don't work.
