By design, all bands that appear at the bottom of a page need to be of static height. One option may be to create a static memo that contains enough space to hold numerous lines inside the footer band. This way when more text is added, it will not…

Hi Dave,

You are correct, the TppMarker.Name needs to be a valid component name in order to avoid an error. I will update the help and alter the AddMarker code to avoid this for the next release. Thanks for pointing this out.

Hello,

The footer band will always print at the bottom of each page. This is an ideal place for any footnote information. Another option is the Page Summary band.

Hi Eric,

First try setting DirectDraw to True and see if that helps with the resolution.

1. Is the image showing poor resolution when previewing, printing, PDF, or all?

2. Are you stretching the image? If stretching…

1. The mail feature uses a single plugin architecture so individual email plugins can be registered and unregistered with ReportBuilder and that plugin will then be used when the mail button is pressed. Alternatively, when the p…

Hi Goran,

I have the InfoPower plugin installed on multiple versions of Delphi on my machine and it is functioning correctly. There is no new component added to ReportBuilder, it simply replaces the existing TppRichText component.

Hi Yong,

You can adjust the z-order of each section subreport to control when it is printed. Do this using the "Send Backward" or "Bring Forward" options of the popup menu in the designer.

Hi Dave,

Thanks for the video. In my testing with RB 19 (and looking at the RB 19 code), the exact same behavior occurs. Are you certain you are not saving the TextFileName in code and re-assigning it manually?

Hi Dave,

I am unclear about how to recreate this issue. In my testing with RB 20 and RB 19, if I export a report to file (with an altered file name from the default), it is reset each time I export again.

Please provide detail…

Generally when we see this behavior, it's due to the original Archive/Report being created with a third party image component such as DevExpress or GraphicEx. Then, if you update ReportBuilder and Delphi, this library is no lon…

The issue is likely that your report is connected to the same dataset as the crosstab. This means that the crosstab will repeat for each detail band inside the report. If you would like the crosstab to display only once, you c…
