  • Svein,

    Unfortunately, it seems that you are right.
    I think the reason is that the report doesn't use the default 'Units'
    setting 'utInches'.
    Looks like a bug in TppDesignerWindow.SyncUnits, not respecting the loading
    s…
  • It seems that Report.Modified is always true in the DesignerClose event -
    even if the user did not change anything.
    I even tried to set Report.Modified := false before launching the Designer,
    and to save the report directly before lau…
  • Hi Svein,

    check the property 'Report.Modified' in the designer's 'OnClose' event.



    procedure TStandardMethodObject.DesignerClose(Sender: TObject;
    var Action: TCloseAction);
    begin
    Action := caFree;…
  • Jan,

    Sorrry, never mind. I see it now...the crosstab has a component datapipline
    selector independent of the report datapipeline selector. However, I noticed,
    that once the report's datapipeline has been deselected, you must go …
  • Jan, Thanks. I appreciate the fact that you took the time to search for it!!!
    I disconnected the report from the datapipeline, but don't see a way to
    reconnect the crosstab itself to the pipeline.

    I'll dig back to his messages..…
  • This is a FAQ in this NG. Jim Bennett answered it recently (December 10th).
    His answer is below:

    Disconnect the report form the datapipeline. Then reconnect the crosstab to
    the datpipeine. The detail band will print for every re…
  • Bill,

    there is no problem in installing both on the same machine, they do not
    cross influence.
    I use both, did you have any problems on install?

  • Third one:
    Can set the preview size of the report on a property instead of code.
    thanks

  • Ok, but it doesn't print the detail pages... it's a whole page group header,
    many detail pages (with a form correctly filled) and 5 pages of group
    footer...
    If I create a pbSection subreport in the detail band, it prints only one
  • Hi Jim,

    I was trying to not have to write out a file. It's a web application and
    directory rights get a little sticky. I am doing exactly what you suggest
    below right now, but was hoping to not to have to give my web user write<…
  • My question was more about using ADO for all our database types (oracle
    and MSSQLServer). I saw the DOA possibility when i read your
    documentation and we'll probably use it if we cant use a generic
    solution but before coding a Data…
  • Hi Sergey,

    I would use in your case the same Owner as used for the Designer.

    HTH,

  • Yes, you are right, i was not viewing at 100 percent
    John

  • Yes, that works, but the text is automatically resized to a lower font.
    Can i set it so the font size stays the same ?


  • Jim,

    Many thanks for that, I ran the demo, and I see that is a neat solution.
    What I was trying to say in my last post was that using the wizard I managed
    to get it to wrap the fields onto the next line, i.e. directly undern…
  • Hi Jim,

    First of all many thanks for your help, I had a play around with the
    wizard, you know to see what it does, but I could only get it to wrap on one
    run thro' and after thtat i couldn't repeat it so couldn't work out th…

  • Jim,
    I thought you were going to say something like that.

    thanks for your help,
    sincerely,

  • Now why didn't someone tell me about this before!!!

  • Barry,

    I sympathise with your point of view. I stared at RB for months but could
    never get figure out how to get started but last month something just
    clicked (light bulb style) and I was off and running! Once I'd passed that
  • I 've the same bad mood for a while when start working with RB, but believe
    me, this tool is great, i've tried other reporting tools and RB was my
    choice.After you learn how to work you will see.
    Keep going, and in a while you will be…
  • > I have the same problem. I have worked with QR for several years,

    I must respectfully disagree. I've also worked a lot with both tools and RB is
    light years far good from QR. I simply love the tool.
    Maybe you're not still …
  • The points are valid. Period.

    I hope DM fixes them.

    The problem lies originally in PPPREVIEW.PAS, the Preview Form unit.
    With Modal Forms like Preview, I don't see any apparent reason,
    why the Close button should be of type TSpeedButton.

  • Well it seems that DM are dealing with a grumpy user by letting us satified
    customers handle it. And Barry, as you see there are plenty of us that find
    the learning curve and frustration worth it.
