It's up to Waler to support. You can always dive into his supplied source.
Look in ..\Program Files\Extradev\Delphi\Source\TxtraDev.pas for the
TXLSDevice code.

The device type can be set on the print dialog. If Report.DeviceType is
screen, so it can be previewed on the call to Report.Print, you can then set
the print dialog to always default to the excel option in the

Our DADE linking implementation creates the same data pipeline objects and
these properties are used internally by DADE. You don't need to set these
two DBPipeline properties, when their datasets are already linked.

Place a region component in the summary band and set it to KeepTogether =
True. Place all of the components in the region. To test if they are

canvas is going to be the default printer's canvas. You can test this by
getting the canvas and performing the text width call in a separate test
project.There is an explicit check to disallow this, because it will cause problem
when strethcing text breaks across pages and it will cause problems for the
text engine. You will have to change your copy of the source and recompile

the Charwrap setting while the report is generating.

Haven't heard of this behavior before. Try running the report with our
latest ReportBuilder 6.02 to see if that fixes the problem. Contact

Digital MetaphorsWhat do you mean by improperly? The total page count isn't going to be
known until the first pass has completed. Do you have calculations
dependent on the total page count?- you'll need a twopass report if this is
true. Are you man…Thankyou, for the suggestions.

Just drag the report from the recycle bin to the folder you would like to
restore it into.

Use the PageStyle band. This band pritns behind all others on the page and
acts as a background layer. Resize the band to the page height.

You are not using DADE if the data access components exist on the form.
If you create queries in DADE, and they are saved with the report, then you
are using DADE, even if in the runtime designer the DADE tab isn't visible

You should be able to have either configuration. The subreport which has
SkipWhenNoRecords false should cause the master to be printed, eventhough
the other detail dataset is SkipWhenNoRecords. I played around with this in
a simple …In the DetailBand.BeforePrint event handler, change the TextAlignment
property of the text components. Add ppTypes to your uses clause.

The best bet would be to use a fixed style subreport to print the text
inside of a fixed area. Resize the fixed subreport to be the height that it
should be, at report design time.

Are you using Delphi 5 or 6? The patch is for RB 6.02 and Teechart 5.02 for
Delphi 6. We are working on the next maintenance release which will fix
these TeeChart issues. We will support the latest version of Teechart for

We have a patch that fixes the issue, since we released RB 6.02 before
Teechart released a final version of Teechart 5.02. The fix will be
included in the next release and will also support Teechart 5.02 for Delphi

1. You can't close the preview form while the report is generating. You
