Sorry, I wasn't sure what you were codin' for. You aren't gonna want to
change the interface section of RB source if you have RAP. The TppProducer

Sorry, the footerband can never have a dynamic height. Stretching controls
won't work inside of the footer band.

Use a DBCalc. Set it to a CalcType of Sum (right click over the control and
go into the calculations dialog). Then set the drop down lists in the
toolbar to point to the DBPipeline4 and the 'RV' field. Set DBCalc.LookAhead

Digital…Try reducing the size of the TppImage control in the band. Perhaps the image
can't fit. If there are headers and footers, then those will occupy space
on the page, and reduces the amount of space that is available to the detail

I've been running D6 SP2 yesterday and today. No apparent problems. Also
running W2K OS.

You could create a TppReportDescendent that has this code.
From a previous post in this NG:
RB has no native support to do this, exactly. I wonder if there is an
WinAPI call (to provide a copy of the active window like
Ctrl-Alt-PrintScreen). If so, then you should be able to create an offscreen
bitmap of the form at runtime…I did receive your email. Thanks for being patient. I have 4 issues in my
research queue (they are handled in the order they are received) ahead of
yours.

Glad it's figured out. Sometimes it is the simplest of things. I should
have been thinking. I thought we had patched 6.02 for a problem like this.
Unfortunately the patch is for 6.03. This message is shown, when no

for your patience.

Only the default language you choose, is going to be compiled into the exe.
The other resource files are going to be in dlls. There is no alternative
architecture to support multiple languages.

it doesn't fit on the page. This would cause the report engine to not be
able to print the bar code inside of a static height detail band.

RB doesn't provide the capability to rotate a page. There is a component
called RotatedLabel with which you could generate the report. You'll want to
create a special report specifically to generate upside down, by setting the

instead of only building it into the report component in the form? Then they
can load this file again later if they choose to.

The raf file is report output. It is a collection of page objects and draw
commands. There is no data embedded inside of the raf file. You are going
to have to regenerate the report if you want to create a report from
different data…This is a known issue. We should have it fixed in a fuuture maintenance
release. You can always manually check the page count and set its
visibility yourself, instead of relying on these two properties.
