True, Delphi query linking is inefficient in that the a detail query is
fired for every master record. In ReportBuilder's data access
workspace(DADE) only one query is sent to retrieve all of the detail
records, so it is more efficie… -
Set the BottomOffset property of the group footer band to be the height of
at least the detail band and the page footer band heights summed together.
This will force the group footer to only print when there is at least that

Set the visible property on the region and the bottom region will shift up
to take its place

First thing to check is to make sure that the datapipelines are assigned to
the report and subreports.

If the Report.PrinterSetup.PrinterName is set to Default, then RB should

This isn't a known issue. Perhaps there is something in the report that is
causing infinite pages. There is an article in Tech-tips General which
describes ways you can get inifitie pages. When you ran the 8.5x11, did it

If you call Viewer.Cancel, it should cause its assigned report to call its
Cancel as well, which will clear the report cache.

The item pipeline isn't updated so that it always points to the current
recrod in the database for the report that is currently selected in the

John, we mainly use an HP LaserJet 5 on Win2000 to initially test any
printing issue, we haven't had any issues similar to this. Can you send a
demo report to support@digital-metaphors.com

Jim BennettMake sure you are using the latest version of RB. Margins of that size
print for us on our printers. Do you get this behavior with a simple report
which has only shapes in it?
You may want to test on another printer or use the…You'll have to get the data beforehand and supply it through a data
pipeline. RB can't natively extract data from an image.

If your data is not in a DB, then you could provide the data via a
JITPipeline to the report. There are JIT examples in the main reports' demo
project.

There are many crosstab demos which show how to customize the output of the

are firing and the calculations are expecting no data values? Report events
will still fire even when there is no data.

Jim BennettThe designer's datasettings property is the correct place to affect the data
connectivity for the report. However, this property is only for the query
dataviews contained in DADE.

Internally, magicSQL is new begininning in RB 5.5 and it has to do with the
