  • Hi Nico,

    I'm using Delphi 5 Enterprise and Report Builder Enterprise Edition Ver 7.0

    There is no event in the code.
    The component I'm using is TppDBCalc.

    I know that is difficult to believe, but is true.

  • Thank you for the quick response. I think your suggestion to convert from
    RTF to DOC may well be the best solution.

  • Nico,

    Thanks, works great.

  • The PageBreak component worked fine but I had to set the
    ShiftRelativeTo property on all some of the components to make it work
    properly:

    SubReport1 -> ShiftRelativeTo = nil

  • Hi Nico,

    Thanks for your assistance. I have sent the email requesting the patch.

    Also, thanks for your help and links regarding the other leaks from Indy,
    very useful.

    Great support once again, cheers!
  • Please tell me how you do this because I really need more flexibility such
    as ability to evaluate the filters, etc. Perhaps you can post sample code?

    Thanks,
    Bob

  • > lSQLBuilder := TdaSQLBuilder.Create(ppReport1.DataPipeline);

    Well, I don't use the TdaSQLBuilder, but if your code is correct, the
    following should work for the detail dataview:

  • Hi, and tks in advance!

    please excuse me for my english.

    I need to print my report:
    sheet A5
    Width := 210;
    Height := 148;
    in many printers it is ok

    sometime, some printers need to insert the s…
  • > i try to change printersetup.orientation, but if i change from landscape

    what do you mean 'very bad'?

    I am guessing you will have to re-arrange your report, or have two reports,
    one with a certain orientation.

  • Thanks Nick,
    That's confirms what I've read, too. One of my customers has LotusNotes
    with the mapi extension installed on their server. But according to IBM, it
    only supports simple mapi. I just wanted to make sure I wasn't missi…
  • I solved the problem by not calling :

    ActiveReport.EmailSettings.Recipients.Add('');

    I will also check to make sure the CC and BCC are not blank before adding
    them as well.

    On another note, is there a way to FO…
  • Hi Nico,

    Thanks, I'll see if I can get something together. It is a little 'meshed'
    with both the main application and the emailing utility but I do need to get
    it sorted out. I'll let you know.

    Regards, Paul.

  • Hi and Thanks.

    Yes I know about the Indy ones, it was the RB specific items I've had
    trouble finding.

  • Hi Nico

    After upgrading, still the same problem sometimes.
    Its always the same report which is started as soon as our product starts.

    Can it something have to do with the other message about IMFNT5.DLL.

  • Nico,

    I got this to work well.

    A complication was that Report.Engine.PageBottom does not actually give the
    bottom of the page. It gives the top of the footer band - even on the last
    page and the footer band is set …
  • Nico,

    Many thanks for the fantastically prompt response.

    I need to cope with users adding new objects, or deleting existing objects,
    from the report design, so I can't hard-code the assignment of the

  • Hi Michael
    Have your tried the DeviceExportToStream method of TExtraDevices?
    I use this often when generating pdf files for email queues.
    Just make sure to call the Loaded method of the ppReport component first and

  • I should have mentioned - Delphi version 7. RB 10.07.

  • Hi Nico,

    Thanks for that - I didn't release their was a 2nd build of RB 10.07.
    Problem all fixed.

    yes--but I am not sure what is causing your issues.

  • I think the problem is that the package I am installing from is for BDS

  • I have installed Indy 10 but the "TExtraDevices" package still says it can't

    it be in the Windows System32 directory or in one of the Indy folders ?

  • If you check txdefs.pas in the 'Extra' source folder, the version of Indy (9
    or 10) is defined there. It defaults to 10 but you can comment out the
    USEINDY10 define in the section for your particular version of Delphi.

  • Hello Nico.

    In this application I don't see the need for loading templates from either
    file or database, it's a very simple solution.
    So if the reports aren't saved as templates, where are the reports inside a
    TppReport s…
