If you need to create a search form, you can use RB's Data workspace to
specify search criteria for a query and mark them for autosearch. A search
form will be automatically created, see details below.

Sorry I misread the question. No you cannot store a dialog within a report.
A Delphi dialog must be compiled into the application or compiled into a
packages that can be used by the application.

Could be a problem with RB 6.01.
Try downloading a trial version of RB 7.03 and performing the same test.
Backup your existing installation and reports prior to installing RB 7.

ReportBuilder contains a TppDPTeeChart component that can be used to connect
the Series to the a DataPipeline. Older versions of RB contained a
DBTeeChart, but you do not want to use this component, it has been
deprecated.

Have never heard of this issue. Try rebooting your machine, perhaps you have

There is nothing that ReportBuilder requires. However, database applications

Here is an example that I created that uses the Label.OnDrawCommandCreate

1. The deployment cost is minimal. The cost is $250 per CPU - that supports
an unlimited number of users.
2. Try tracing the RB source code. RB Server uses the same AutoSearch
dialog. I think the issues are elsewhere. Prob…
I should probably add that the server is multi-threaded and supports
incremental on demand paging to the client. This increases performances
drammatically. The ClientReport caches pages that it recieves from the
server so that i…
Check out ReportBuilder Server Edition. It does all of this already. It
contains ClientReportExplorer and ClientReport components that can be used
to browse available reports and then preview/print. It supports AutoSearch.
Please create a simple, minimal Delphi project that demonstrates the issue
and e-mail in zip format to support@digital-metaphors.com. Use only RB and
standard Delphi components. We can run the project here in the Delphi

The ReportBuilder Query tools do not support the SQL Having clause.
You might want to consider creating a summary table and then building the
SQL off of that.

DBCalc.DataField and DBText.DataField are string values that indicate the
field to which the component is assigned.
You can try using DBCalc.Value. For the DBText you will need to typecase

I do not recall there being a property called TppDesigner.IniFileName in any
version of ReportBuilder.
There is a TppDesigner.IniStorageName property which was introduced in
ReportBuilder 6.

You need to update to the latest version of ReportBuilder. RB 7.03 includes

The following example shows how to extract the TdaSQL object associated with
a QueryDataView and modify the SQLText. The example creates
Report.AutoSearchFields[] and then applies the values entered by the user to
the SQLText.
There is no functionality in RB that will help you with this. I think your
current approach sounds like a good one.
