  • Tim,

    There should be no need to create new data access components or
    datapipelines every time you want to print a new report. If you simply
    change the SQL in the your query and reprint the report, the changes will
    occur. …
  • Tim,

    The Report.Reset procedure clears out the entire report cache so you won't
    receive cached data after it is called. First try taking ReportBuilder out
    of the equation and find out if your data is being properly updated. Ho…
  • Santy,

    It is not possible to cancel a request to the database once it has already
    been made. The best way to control this would be to show a dialog before
    the report previews that explains how long the report will take to load …
  • Santy,

    I am unable to recreate the issue on my machine. Please send a demo of the
    problem to support@digital-metaphors.com and I'll take a look at it for you.

  • Gary,

    Thanks for the suggestion. Be sure that you install TeeChart before you
    install ReportBuilder so that the proper RB TeeChart wrapper packages get
    installed. Then when installing ReportBuilder, select the correct version<…
  • Gary,

    Thank you for upgrading to ReportBuilder 7.02. We currently support
    TeeChart Version 6.00. We will have a mantainance release which will
    include TeeChart 6.01 support. It is very easy to add TeeChart 6.01 support

  • Please see the ReportBuilder Help under the ReportBuilder Reference |
    TeeChart | Delphi X... section. This page gives you a complete description
    of which versions of TeeChart are supported. To summarize, TeeChart
    versions 4.02, 5.0…
  • Hi Luke,

    Make sure your library path is pointing to the BuilderControls source. This
    way new .dcu files can be made with the new version of ReportBuilder.

  • Alex,

    The version of TeeChart that comes with Delphi, does not include the full
    source code. Therefore you will need to either buy a registered version of
    TeeChart that is supported by the version of ReportBuilder you are using…
  • That was a typo, I meant to say driver dependent.

    We want you to use the latest driver for the best chance of success. The
    reason you get different behavior from Word vs. ReportBuilder is that we're
    each using different Windows…
  • Bernd,

    Greyscaling is driver independent. Make sure you have the latest printer
    driver for the machines with the issue.

  • Etienne,

    If the margins of the report exceed the printable area of the printer, the
    report engine will skip to the next page and eventually do so endlessly.
    Try increasing the margins of your report before you print to the new
  • Make sure you are not changing the report's printer setup/page definition
    during runtime. This would cause
    the report to repaginate all the pages.

  • Gilbert,

    I cannot recreate this behavior on my own machine. Please try downloading
    the trial version of ReportBuilder 7.02 and see if you receive the same
    results.

  • We had cases where left-to-right column traversal did not work with 6.03 but
    that's great if you have it working the way you need. The problem has been
    fixed in ReportBuilder 7.02.

    --
  • You're right Ed, to clarify, only left-to-right column traversal didn't work
    in 6.03. Top-to-bottom works fine.

  • Gilbert,

    Columnar subreports did not work in RB version 6.03. Please upgrade to RB
    7.02.

  • Steve,

    Try placing a group around the column that breaks on a static invisible
    variable or lable. Then place your summary information in the group footer
    band.

    --
  • Hi,

    There are a few ways to access a group footer by index...

    1. Use the Report.Groups[].FooterBand property.

    2. Use the Report.GroupFooter[] property. This method is probably the
    easiest.

    3. You …
  • Try using a report object loop rather than looping on Report.ComponentCount
    to access the TppLables you need. Below is more on creating and using
    Report Object loops.

  • Richard,

    Make sure you include ppChrtUI in your 'uses' clause. This enables the
    TeeChart editing capabilities in the ReportBuilder designer. Refer to the
    article below for more help on the registration of components in the
  • Stuart,

    Try placing the region in the Summary Band. Then be sure to set the
    KeepTogether property for the region to True. If this still does not print
    in the place you want, you can adjust the PrintPosition property of the
  • Hi Anne,

    I'm glad to hear you got it working.

  • Anne,

    Make sure you are using the latest release of ReportBuilder... Version 7.02
    Build 2, dated 03/17/2003. You may then have to recompile PsRBExportDevices

  • Irek,

    ReportBuilder 6.03 is not thread safe. Please download the trial version of
    ReportBuilder 7.02 Server Edition. RB 7.02 is completely thread safe and
    comes with many improvements and features that will help you solve the i…
  • Sham,

    This is correct, you will want to create a report with the owner being
    'self' or 'application' but once the form is destroyed, the report will be
    as well so there is no need to free the report object. There should be no
  • Sham,

    I am not sure why you stopped receiving the AVs when you switched to the
    report object loop method. Instead of creating and freeing new report
    objects every time you need one, you should try creating one TppReport
    ob…
