You do not need to open the reports in any intermediate version of RB for
the conversion process to work correctly. The reports are converted from
the report's version directly to the new version, automatically, when they
are opened.… -

Set the FileName string property on the Report.PrinterSetup object, if you
want to control the PRN file. It is a public property, so you won't see it
in the object inspector. There are some articles in the TechTips newsgroup

Try adding daADO to your uses clause. At Delphi 6 design time I can see the
ADOConnection in the object inspector when I edit the datasettings on the
designer component on the form.

Put the dbText and the dbMemo in a region. That should cause the line to

First, make sure you are using the latest printer driver for the Canon. If
you are using Delphi 3, you can upgrade to RB 4.2 for Delphi 3. This is the
last version of RB that supports Delphi 3. Currently, we have RB 6 for D4,
D5 an… -
In DADE, the query wizard's form is a TForm, not a TppForm descendent.

When the report generates, it uses the canvas of the printer to get the text
width. If autosize is true, then it should give it the exact width that it
needs to print that text, for the designated font. Is it just on one
printer? T… -

Most likely our next maintenance release will be RB 6.01 for Delphi 4,5 and

IF you create a report and save the report template to file or database,
then when the template is loaded up, it is converted into the new format.
Subreports are objects in the report, and so, all objects in the report

There were a few changes and updates to the linking logic. Since we don't
have the other DADE plugins rebuilt (which you could use as examples),
you'll need to trace through the DADE code to get your plug-in working,
sorry.
Which database are you using? The DADE plugins haven't been rebuilt until
we get the Delphi 6 version for the other 3rd party databases. Have you
installed RB6.01? How are the dataviews configured- are there search
criteria, order …I would check the corrupt installation instructions in the tech-tips
newsgroup to search for RB's bpls. Perhaps older packages are being used by
Delphi.

Digital MetaphorsOne more feature, to be aware of, is that subreports can be loaded at
runtime. There is a demo of loading them in the /RBuilder/Demos/EndUser
installed directory.

The TppPreview class was created for our default preview, and yes, the
controls are created in code. The advantage is that this previewer is
modifiable both in the report designer and on the viewer. However, it
doesn't have to be cre…I would descend from TppCustomPrevew just like TppPreview does. You should
then get access to the KeyDown event. We apologize for breaking your code.

Make sure your library path is pointed at \RBuilder\Lib. Do any of our
demos work at runtime? The report preview architecture was refactored for
RB 6. There were requests for an improved previewer in the designer and in
creating on…Try descending from TppCustomPreview. Copy and paste our TppPreview code
into your new class and add/subtract controls as you wish. Register your
new class and you should be good to go.
