  • Guillermo,

    The print quality is a driver specific function that is accessed by the
    DEVMODE structure in the Windows GDI. The DEVMODE data structure contains
    information about the initialization and environment of a printer or a…
  • Karen,

    You will need to either create a database and make your customers load the
    server software or you could try using an 'in-memory' dataset. An example
    of an in-memory dataset is given by a product called Asta

  • Karen,

    Check out the Custom Dataview Templates Demo at \RBuilder\Demos\3.
    EndUser\2. Custom Data Views. Using Custom Dataviews with a JITPipeline or
    a TextPipeline would probably be your best bet in this situation.

  • Felix,

    You need to download the latest version of ReportBuilder, Version 7.02 Build
    2... dated 03/17/2003. This will fix the error.

  • Nicolas,

    ReportBuilder 6 supports TeeChart versions 4.02 and 5.02. If you would like
    to use TeeChart 6 with ReportBuilder, you will need to upgrade to RB 7.02.
    For more information about TeeChart and ReportBuilder, please see t…
  • Randall,

    If you are not already doing so, try using the same Owner for the report,
    datasources, and datapipelines.

    Example...

    {assuming Self is the Form}
    myDBPipeline := TppDBPipeline.Create(Self);
    m…
  • Sandro,

  • Josep,

    Set the Report.PassSetting to psTwoPass, making it a two pass report. Then
    you can check the Report.AbsolutePageCount and drop a label in the header
    and toggling its visibility in the Header.BeforePrint event.

  • Harry,

    Be sure the report is connected to the datapipeline by selecting the report
    | data menu option in the report designer.

    Hook the datasource to a DBGrid on the form to verify you have data at
    runtime. If none of…
  • Ron,

    Make sure the Report.PrinterSetup.PrinterName is set to Default instead of
    Screen. This should fix your problem.

    1. You will need to either obtain the latest update of Waler for
    ReportBuilder 7.02 or rebuild the Waler packages yourself. The article
    below explains how this can be done.

    2. Make sure you are installing …
  • Trish,

    ReportBuilder does not have explicit Post Script support. You could try to
    generate to a report emulation text file and embed the escape sequence in
    the text. Then send the text file to the printer. Below is an article…
  • Chuck,

    This was a bug in an older version. Try downloading the latest version of
    ReportBuilder 7.02 Trial edtition from our website at
    http://www.digital-metaphors.com
  • Kalmen,

    Try updating your printer driver to the latest version. There were known
    issues in older versions that have been resolved in the latest release.
    Please upgrade to ReportBuilder 7.02 for Delphi 5. You can download a tri…
  • Gilbert,

    Sorry, but nested regions are not supported by ReportBuilder.

  • Dirk,

    Below is a link to an example showing how to change the printer bin based on
    certian restrictions. This should help get you on the right track.

  • Dirk,

    Try using Report.OnEndPage event rather than Report.BeforePrint or
    Report.AfterPrint
    events. This should fire early enough to change the BinName before the
    report is generated.

  • Justin,

    There are no known issues with using barcode 39. We acquired these barcode
    components from a third party source and they have all been tested
    extensively. Check out the TppBarCode.BarWidth property in the ReportBulder…
  • Frederic,

    When the "corrupt install" error is shown during the installation procedure,
    it means you probably only recieved a partial install .exe file while
    downloading. Try downloading the rbpro5.exe file again from our websit…
  • Alessandro,

    First make sure your Report.Template property is set up correctly. Second
    make sure the Report.SaveAsTemplate property is set to false. This way a
    template is not automatically loaded with different printer setup
  • Tony,

    To disable a button in the Report Preview form, you need to create a
    descendant class to ppPreview and change the PrintButton property's
    settings. Follow the link below for an example of how to do this.

  • Steve,

    The draw commands for the lines in the header are added to the page first
    and their Z-Order cannot be changed. You could create draw commands at
    runtime after the report engine is finished with the page so that thier
  • Mark,


    You will have to use a tecnique where you generate two subreports over the
    same data, but each subreport will print different fields. In your case,
    subreport 1 will print fields 1 - 21 and subreport 2 will print 22 …
  • Mark,

    Below is a link to an example demonstrating how to create visual column sets
    at runtime. The columns are not going to wrap to other pages. This should
    get you started. Our Report Wizard is able to wrap columns below so …
  • Hans,

    The example code below shows how you can check if your report is only one
    page and adjust the band print setting accordingly.

    1. Set the default behavior prior to calling Report.Print...

  • Tom,

    Make sure you are connected to the dataset properly. Hook a DBGrid to your
    dataset and see if the data shows up there. Also, try downloading the trial
    version of ReportBuilder 7.02 and see if the problem goes away.
  • Chris,

    This is currently not possible to adjust in ReportBuilder. Thanks for the
    suggestion.
