  • It would be much better if the report starts printing immediately in some way.
    Is there
    maybe a possibilty with RAP? I found no solution so far.

  • Hi,

    I have the same request as Davor Pleskina. I would like to use a wider
    top margin on pages 2 to end than on page 1.

    I do not understand, how I could use subreports in order to change the
    top margin dynamically.<…
  • Hi,

    you could use two subreports with the different margins.

    enjoy,
    Ron.

  • Hmm, Actually I simply made some significant changes to the autosearch
    dialog, I already had my own copy of the autosearch dialog which had about
    5 custom autosearch panels, (date time pickers, lookups on data fields
    such as the e…

  • Nard,
    Thanks for the clarification.
    I think I will just stick with the "work around" that
    forces the issue right at application start-up unless
    you can see a problem with that approach.

    on the first screen of application and place the following in the

  • I've done some further analysis. The absolutely "bare bones"
    application that will exhibit the delay (for me):

    1. drop a report component on a form
    2. execute the following code:

  • Hi Ed,
    Although I usually follow the one report one form model...
    I do have one particular form that does have 4 reports.

    John:

    I am not sure where you are seeing the delay, or what is causing it. I have
    never seen this. Is it data-access, report creation...? Do yo…

  • Hi Jim Bennett,

    Actually I am using C++ Bulider 5 not Delphi.Somehow we have converted RB to
    suit our requirements.
    So if we need to upgrade to the new version we need to convert your code to
    suit our requirements.
    Can…
  • Hi Pablo,

    if (Reports.Bands[].Objects[] is TppSubReport) then with
    TppSubReport(Reports.Bands[].Objects[]) do begin

    end;

    regards,
    Chris Ueberall;
  • I saw that thread and thought about that but how can you check to see if
    the object is a TppSubreport? I apologize if this is too obvious.

  • I'm sorry I forgot to mention that i'm using D3 and RB4.23

  • Thanks,
    previous version was RB 5.0 - also NT 4, Delphi5. I think it had something
    to do with the Detail Band losing its datapipeline property. I inherited the
    project from previous developers. They created a large number of template…
  • Thanks Jim I think I'll try the master Detail method first.

  • We have had something similar. The reason was that the printer names within
    CITRIX did not match the printer names of the workstation.

  • Jim,

    You were right on the money. Turns out I was changing the Top and Left
    properties of the TppImage in the detail band's BeforePrint event. Moving
    that code to an area that executes before the report starts s…
  • Jim,

    Thanks so much for the prompt reply.


    CachePages := True "solved" the problem, but like the docs say, it comes at
    a price.

    Will do.
  • Hi Hott...

    Yo can try two things to solve this problem: a) Add the Borland
    Memory Manager to your DLL and host application (as very first
    statement in the uses clause) and b) compile your application with
    run-time packages.…
  • Hi Jim...

    I just finished downloading RB again and 50% is resolved. That means,
    reports are now created correctly when data is present (no longer showing
    the no data message), but it is still running in circles when no data is
  • I use that printer and a bottom margin of 0.45 fixed the problem.

    Jon

  • Hi Matt...

    I found something similar on our DeskJet in the office, the reason is,
    that by technical limitations of the printer it is not able to print to the
    very bottom. I had originally a margin of 0.25 inch and increased it<…
  • Hello, Jim:
    Thanks for your help! I solved that question.
    Here is another question coming out. I have 12 forms, 6 of them need to be
    pair, others stand alone. I followed Report Tutorials "Hooking Reports Together

  • Thanks Jim, I agree that the widths of the object are not taken into
    consideration, and nor should they be - it should space evenly based
    on the Left property of each selected control. If it can do that,
    then it should work as expect…
