  • Hi Axel,

    This is Windows not DOS, I don't think it's possible (and furthermore not
    neccesary IMO).
    What do you want to achieve?

    regards,
    Chris Ueberall;
  • Hi Chris,

    I use the same dataset for editing and reporting,
    Is it wrong ???


    Regards
    Didier Corbasson
  • Hi Didier,

    The dataset is scanned only when printing or previewing, nothing happens
    with the pipeline after printing.
    You should use another dataset for editing, I can't imagine why to use
    transactions in the context of a r…
  • Thanks, but I get a "ppReport1.DataPipelineName property does not exist." I
    am using version 5.56, do I need version 6?

    I was also wondering if it's possible to access the wizard's dialogs, and if
    the spelling mistake ("..report…

  • No, as I say it only calculates accurate Report Footer values when I set the
    CalcType to veOverkill, whups I mean veTraversal ;-)

    - Stephen Aberle.

  • Yup, did that already.
    - Stephen.

  • Thanks. Yes, I tried that. I set the CalcOrder of the derived variables for
    (for example) Gross Profit and Margin to be higher (which, I assume, means
    later) than the source variables. Their values are still left at zero and,
    as I men…
  • Jim:

    I have developed a routine which allows you to specify the escape codes
    which control horizontal movement and vertical movement. Next you specify a
    precision such as 1/60 for vertical and 1/216 for horizontal. In additi…

  • You mean something like mailing to each person mentioned in a report? Did I
    get that right?

    Otherwise printing to a textfile is like printing on paper, so you could
    send the report (as textfile-attachment) to your recipient. But…
  • No, but how would I break each record up? There are several records in
    each report. Not just one record.

  • Did you try printing to a file and sending it via email?

  • Ok, I found it ... but that doesn't make things easier:
    I designed the report on a form, that is inherieted by many other forms,
    from which I print. The ancestor-form (on which the original report resides)
    is never created, but it's d…
  • Hi Matt,

    you can't change a running EXE. In addition, changing an application this
    way looks like virus activity, you never would know if it would be infected
    or not. Use a database or the filesystem as storage but not the appli…

    in the asterix is the original readme, its one line in ComCtrls Vcl

    2 problems in RB with XpThemes:
    1) Cklciing in DADE Conditon aeray does not appear ComboBoxes
    2) To Delete one Field in the Fieldtyb via d…
  • I do have the latest drivers but I am not sure where I check for the
    unprintable area at?
    Would is also affect my first problem?


  • Most richedit controls convert images into windows bitmaps
    for storing them. So any compressed file will end up stored
    as uncompressed in the RTF control.

  • I tested with the 28kb bitmap and it changed the 1kb file to 103Kb. Trying
    some different sizes suggests that there is about a 70Kb 'premium' to saving
    a bitmap. This does not explain why my report size increases from 51kb to
    half …

    Look at the DFM--it often answers questions that seem strange.

  • I've found the cause. This report was converted from QuickReport with the
    QR2RB utility (Waler). I added a FooterBand to the new RB report and dragged
    many components (labels and dbTexts) from a Summary band to the just added
    FooterBa…
  • Thank you very much for the explanations and code, Tom.
    TppPrintDialog.ModalResult and TppReport.FileDevice are the properties I was
    looking for.

    I was relying on the help file for these issues, as I do in Delphi, when the
  • Wow, thanks. That TppCustomPrintDialog is another undocumented class. I have
    to say, I'm learning a lot about RB from working on this problem.

    I noticed that the report's OnPrintDialogClose event fires whether the user
    closes th…
  • Thank you Guillermo. I never noticed the Publisher property, and it wouldn't
    have helped me much if I had because its properties and methods aren't
    documented in the help file. Thanks to your tip, I looked in the source code
    and found…
  • Use something like:
    if (rptInvConsig.Publisher.Devices[0].InheritsFrom(TExtraDevice) and
    (rptInvConsig.Publisher.Devices[0].DeviceName = 'ExcelFile') and
    (rptInvConsig.Publisher.Devices[0].DeviceName = 'TextFile'))…
  • Tried changing Report.PassSetting := psTwoPass
    No change in image on the preview form.
    Again, after printing, the preview image is as it should be!!!

    Are you able to duplicate this problem?
    Might there be a work-around…
  • I'd had this "skip record" in mind as a possible solution. Is there a way to
    do it that actually skips the record instead of just making the band
    invisible? On a large data return (which will happen every time the report
    is run if it …
  • I'm not a programmer so TQueries and TTables is greek to me. M$ SQL Server
    is our database backend. The SQL Server GETDATE() function pulls the current
    system time in, but I can't figure out a way to utilize it. You can't use it
    under…
  • Are you using TQueries or TTables? What DB engine are you connected to?


  • I ever knew. RB is the best report engine. :))

    Thx a lot

  • Hello Jim,

    may be my translation is wrong...

    I just want to print 10 labels (14 fitting on one page) with the same
    content on one page (with two columns) always starting from the top.
    I don't wanna start the labels in…
