    Thanks Jim,

    That sound interesting. I already suspected a buggy printer driver, but
    wondered why that should show up in the preview. I will make…
  • Hi Doug,

    once more, the problem is in D5 not in ReportBuilder and I think the problem
    will be there for the next 42 years ;-).

  • Hi Jim,
    By your message I assume that it is still unstable for Delphi 5 (we don't
    have 6 yet)? We do have RB 6.01.

    Thanks

  • Ok, I have traced it down to Datapipeline.locate:

    Locating with this function I have to provide the same datatype like my
    db-field to get a correct lookup. My ID was integer, I tried a string in the

  • > Ok, I did what you said, but it just snaps to the grid, as I would expect

    Thanks for trying. I love the way you guys provide customer support. Yes
    I agree, it's a feature, not a bug in Another simple wish Comment by rbuser February 2002

    Hi Jim,

    I know that the View Grid option is disabled, but that's not what I mean
    with snap to a relative grid. Please reread my previou…

    Any comments on a Delphi like relative snap grid? I would like to know
    your guys' opinion on that. Even if you think it's a useless waste of

    OK I see. Should have thought twice.

  • Actually i'm asking a more simple feature. Just to be able to lock the
    control positions in order to can't accidentally move them when you're
    selecting them to change it's properties.

    I asked the same thing some time ago in the End Users designer
    newsgroup, but never got a response to that. At least I think we mean
    the same thing. …

    OK. But the daDBISAM.pas from me has the date 10/18/2001 and a size of

  • Jim,

    I have tried it several times and I still get the same error. I'm
    using Delphi 6, Dbisam 3.5, Report Builder 6.03. The daDBISAM.pas
    file you sent me has a 09/26/01 date on it. That seems a little
    outdated. Nothing sh…

    Make sure, that you use DBISAM V3.05 and RB V6.03. Copy the new
    daDBISAM.pas over the old one and *recompile* the packages. After this,
    recompile the Demo…
  • Jan,
    I'm using the daDBISAM.pas from Jon Lloyd Duerdoth. I just deleted
    and re-downloaded everything and tried it again with the same results.
    Arg!!

  • I suspect that you are using ReportBuilder with DBISAM 3.x which
    requires a new version of the daDBISAM.pas interface file. I think it
    can be found on the elevatesoft.com web site.

    I see both messages, there is an answer from Brian Evans for your message

  • Hi Jim,

    What i have is a Avery Dennison label printer (64-06), and i want to print
    landscape AND head first orientation, which means upside down.

    With Printer.PrinterSetup.Orientation, i can only type poLandscape.

    with that you can do what you want

  • Sorry -- didn't think the first message got sent. First time I used this
    newsgroup client.

    Any chance that the zoom will have a drop-down of values > 100% (again, like
    Excel and hosts of others)?

  • Hi David,

    (BTW, one message is enough)
    currently up to 250% (you can use the keyboard).

    (Do you really think zooming has been invented by Excel? ;-))

  • duplicate Message.
  • Thanks Nico Cizik. I'll take a look

  • Jim,
    the link below is not working....
    I would like make little changes on the form preview source.
    is there other link?

  • Thanks Jim,

    I already had checked all packages before, they were ok.
    But with your hint I checked the source path in the project options and
    voil?, it pointed to an elder RB5 directory! This was the reason why I only

  • You could use my custom report builder component :-). Actually, it is
    very simple. Just create your own descendant of TppReport to do that.....I
    know I was not going to write the code DM says is necessary to do full
    screen preview…
  • Hi Svein,

    this feature is currently not implemented - unfortunately.

    regards,
    Chris Ueberall;

  • But how about zooming on the design page?
