Interesting. The file that we used at the time of RB 9.02 release was
TeeChart7.04Delphi2005.exe.
You will need to test and if there is a compatibility issue, then manually
rebuild the RB TeeChart related packages as des… -
RB 9.02 is compiled to support TeeChart 7.04.
I just checked the Steema web site and do not see a TeeChart 7.05 available

Perhaps you are referring to a pre-release version.

Check out the examples installed to RBuilder\Demos\EndUser Databases. There

Check the help About box and make sure that you are not using RB 9.0 or
9.01. Those releases had some issues that we fixed for RB 9.02. In my
testing here I cannot reproduce any issues related to not have a printer

This will require modifying the DADE plug-in. If you are using ADO to
connect to SQL Server then you need to modify the daADO.pas unit. The

This is a feature that we would very much like to add.
We are hopeful that Borland will add Unicode support to the VCL in a future

Modify the DADE plug-in and place the code in the QueryDataView.SQLChanged

A form/datamodule should be used to provide a thread-safe container. Use a

I would use ADO. SQL Server and ADO are MS technologies. The Delphi ADO

The QueryDataView has a TdaSQL object. The TdaSQL object generates a SQL
text statement. For the ADO plug-in, the SQL text is assigned to the
ADOQuery.

I recommend adding some custom code to the ADO DADE plug-in, which is
defined in daADO.pas. Modify the TdaADOQueryDataView.SQLChanged method. This
method assigns the SQLText generated by the TdaSQL object to the TADOQuery

Sorry about that. We have added code to RB so that it can run without a
printer driver being installed. However, it can be difficult to find all the
places in the code that could cause a problem - since RB 7.04 we have fixed

1. Make sure that you have a default printer driver installed on the
machine. That could cause an issue.
