You could code a RAP pass through function to get the paper name from what
the user has selected.
In the RAP Report BeforePrint event handler you can say
Report.PrinterSetup.PaperName := MyPassThruGetPaperName;
There … -
Which version of RB are you using? Using 6.03, I used a pen width of both
zero and one. Chose NoLine in the toolbar, and set the pen style to
psClear. The region prints no line in the preview nor on the printer.
Email me a report t… -
Try setting the Region.Pen.Style := psClear; This should work.

Create a master detail report without a subreport. Create a group in the
main report on the key linking field. Set the group to start on a new page.
Connect the detail datapipeline to the crosstab. The crosstab should
generate for … -
One other approach is to use the OnCalc from the detail band in the
subreport to update all of the variables in the report. In RAP, you'll need
a global variable handle to do this from the subreport.

Sorry, I forgot you were running into the problem in Win95. Unfortunately,
we don't have any Win95 machines here to test with, either. The MIS

I wonder this too. Do our demo reports run

The only problem we have encountered (and fixed- patch is available upon
request) is that if your master-detail key linking field is null, then a new
exception is raised by Delphi, with the update pack #2 for D6.

Ouch, we've seen this before on rare occasion. We aren't able to reproduce
this so we can't fix it. The best suggestion is to create the reports at
runtime.

RB can't do this natively. However, you can create two subreports. Each on
ewill run over the same data, printing different fields from the pipeline.

RB 6.03 has proven overall to be a very stable release. From what upper
management is saying, we probably will not have a maintenance release soon.
