  • It was a HP DeskJet 940 (cse?). I recommended he get the latest drivers and
    haven't heard back from him. I always hate recommending that because they
    think it is a cop-out on my part :-(

    We have always had a problem printing i…
  • It is only happening with a few (and a very few at that) users, I have asked
    him what printer he is using, he hasn't replied yet. We have a lot of users
    and I only occassionally have any complaint about this, so it very well
    could be…
  • John:

    Is it only with certain drivers/printers, or is every printer slow?

  • The "report" is just simply a bitmap from a dbimage. There is nothing else
    in the report except for the tppdbimage component. It prints fine it just
    takes 2 - 3 minutes per page to print.


  • > Here is the code frag where we create the RB form containing the ppReport

    I didn't look at your code, but could it be the printer driver? ie will the
    same report print okay with one printer and not another?

  • Eudge:

    Make the reports child sub reports of the main report. Right click over the
    second one and shift-relative it to the first one.

    Look through my prior posts, searching for 'TppSubReport'.

  • Yes I would be very interested. Where can I get those examples. Please feel
    free to email them to lmiller@rescorsoft.com if that is easier.

  • Luke:

    I have posted code snippets of what I do. Users can print any of a number of
    reports. All are saved to paradox files--no defined report is in the EXE at
    run time.

    I create sub reports of section style and load t…
  • Yes...the right value (7,435,836 items count) when doing a total record
    count in the summary band. I'm testing this right now with ReportBuilder
    6.03. If I have the same wrong result I think I will be force to do all
    count and sum t…

  • I learn that there is not dumb question in IT....

    Yes I double check all that....

  • These may seem like a seriously dumb questions but I'll ask anyway...

    Is the .width property wide enough or is it set to autosize?

    How about the display format? If it is set to something like ###,##0,
    that will not print …

  • To answer your question: "Does the count print zero or is it short one
    value? "

    It (DBCalc) retrun a wrong value each time and a different one. If I run a
    "reguler" customer everything work fine (count and sum function) but for…

  • An other thing is using OnCalc instead of a DBCalc will put more process on
    the system. Right????

  • I have a count(*) in the Summary footer that should return the number of
    record (total) display on the report. it retrun 40 record instead of around
    7 millions.

    I'm already looking into to use a TppVariable instead of DBCalc.

  • Can we have more exact error message? Try to delete all the dcu's of the
    label component.

  • Hi Davide,

    I've experienced the same problem too.I got the idea that it has to do
    with color depth of the images, although I didn't test it deeply enough.
    The thing is that with less color depth (16 or 256 colors) it wor…
  • I have tried to set Direct Draw property in both ways, but the problem
    persist.
    The image is printed when I start the print from the preview in design mode,
    so is not a printer problem.


  • Set Property Visible True (right Mouse)

    I've no problems with images.




  • It works, thanks.

  • On the ppReport component set the Device type to Printer.

  • Hi Jim

    Set Summary new Page is false (I will have the Summary on last Page bottom
    (above the last items), not on a new page.)

    I'm sure that this has changed from version 5.x to 6.x.
    I visited some customers and they w…
  • and for my problem which is it the solution?

    Thanx.

  • See Stefano this is the same problem (exists for a longer time (maybe from V
    6)) i recognized and described. RB Foot/Summary depending on visible or not
    calculates wrong. see my posting from Erich Rieder 23.3.2002.



  • i followed the step by step replacement of the RB with Infopower support.
    i work in design time to preview. but can't work during run time.

    That was the approach I was going to take. Problem is then I can't get
    proper band height. I try to do that in AfterGenerate event, but I …
  • That worked great, thanks.
  • Hi Andy,

    Place the detail components on a region, which has the 'keep together'
    funtionality.
