ReportBuilder installs bpls into the windows system directory which would
indicate that RB is installed. You'll be looking for

Groups are currently limited to being based on one value. My guess is that
you need to break a group based on two values instead of one. What you

A subreport doesn't support autosearch, only the main report. Use the main

after the call to PrintToDevices.

For a subreport set to pbChild, the header/footer are not supported.
A child type subreport prints on its parent's page space and
therefore behaves more like a memo.
Options:

childreport object from it. Here, I created a subreport called sbrImages

You can use an application such as Symantec's WinFax, to fax a report. We
haven't researched faxing to the extent that the fax number is pulled from
the database and sent to the faxing application.

Overflowing stretchable components should print partially on one page and
continue printing the remainder on the following pages until it has
completed. Can you be more specific on how do you want to control the
stretching?
