Thanks, we'll have to try setting these properties to see if code's

Take a look in you source in ppDB.pas, which is where the TppDatapipeline

Digital MetaphorsYou're using a DevExpress grid, and a ReportBuilder report? To set the
value when a summary band prints, you may want to use a TppVariable in the
summary band an use its OnCalc event to add the new value.
Cheers,By using 'Screen' as the printer, then the screen canvas is used to generate
a report, ie. calculating text widths, text heights and such.

What version of RB? Check to make sure that a default printer is installed.
In RB 6, we added a 'Screen' printer option in the PrinterSetup object of
the report, so you can preview without needing a printer to be installed.You'll need to change the width of the column and the height of the detail
band, because essentially, you are creating an new label template.

Reassign the event handler after the template is loaded:) There is a
tech-tip article on troubleshooting lost event handlers in the templates
thread.

You can set the subreport visible property and it won't generate.

Do the characters not print at all, or are they printed in the correct
design? Perhaps, there is't enough room to print the special character. Set

in How do i add labels to a report with code Comment by digitalmetaphors October 2001There isn't a method such as this. You've probably found that

You'll have to code pass through functions to change the properties of the

Digital MetaphorsWhen DADE datapipelines are created, they are owned by the report's internal
datamodule. When the report is streamed down, it saves a string for the
datapipeline name. Upon streaming up of datapipeline components which were

Here is the BeforePrint of the detail band where ppLabel2 is set to the
