  • Isi,

    ReportBuilder's archetecture does not support the use of a Uni-directional
    dataset. The report engine needs to have the ability to move backward
    through a data set to deal with page and group breaks.

  • Hi Natalie,

    Try printing to a different printer and see if that helps. Check your
    existing page layout (File | Page Setup menu option) to see if the page size
    matches the boundaries you set for your report.

  • Jean-Luc,

    Use the BeforeGenerate event of the detail band to check if the Flag field
    is 1 and set the font style to fsBold. Be sure to reset the font style once
    afterward in the same event. Something like the following...
  • Bob,

    The crosstab generator calculates the space it needs automatically and
    doesn't necessarily make size changes according to font size. You might try
    creating a custom grid or using one of the various grid add-on components
  • Bob,

    The crosstab renderer does not support the resizing of rows. The row size
    is automatically determined by the font size and data that you choose.

    An alternative is to create a custom crosstab renderer. It isn't easy a…
  • Nagen,

    You will probably want to create a new report and either dynamically create
    and load Section style subreports into this new report or manually create a
    certain number of empty Section style subreports and load the .rtm fi…
  • Hi Tom,

    Yes, creating the regions at runtime is definitely an option. Follow the
    link below to download an example of creating regions in code.

  • Tom,

    Try using a TppRegion and place the lines inside with their ParentWidth set
    to True. If you set the TppRegion's Stretchable property to true, the lines
    should stretch with the region.

  • Arvid,

    There is no timeout function of ReportBuilder. This is a data access
    component or Oracle issue. Perhaps try checking the configuration of your
    data access session component and also your database admin for a timeout
  • Tony,

    You need to use two subreports and control which pages get printed at a
    given time to create the illusion that they are continuing across to the
    next page instead of down. Subreport 1 prints the odd pages and subreport 2<…
  • Can you recreate this issue using one of the ReportBuilder demos? Please
    provide the exact steps you take to receive this error so we can recreate it
    on our machines or send a small example demonstrating the problem to

  • Hi Barry,

    Check out Demo 33 located in the \RBuilder\Demos\1. Reports\... directory.
    Run the Demo.dpr project to see the demo in action. Open the dm0033.pas
    file to see the code. Hope this helps.

  • Yelena,

    The crosstab component simply traverses the data you give it. If change the
    order by on the dataset you are sending the crosstab to order the employee
    names correctly, you should receive the results you are after.

  • Felix,

    You will need to create a custom report explorer and add a button that saves
    the .rtm directly doing something similar to the existing save dialog. You
    can change the ItemAction and ItemOptions properties to disallow the…
  • Donovan,

    Try using the Autosearch dialog (built in to every version of ReportBuilder)
    to prompt users for values before the report has generated. Check out the
    Autosearch Demos in the \RBuilder\Demos\5. AutoSearch\... director…
  • Carlos,

    Make sure you are using ReportBuilder 7.02 Build 2, dated 03/17/03. If you
    are not, please download this version and reinstall and the issue should be
    resolved.

  • Colin,

    Starting with ReportBuilder 7.0, a new event has been added to handle the
    preview form settings. You can use the OnAssignPreviewFormSettings event to
    change these settings and receive the results you need.

  • Jean-Luc,

    Demo 51 and 52 were coded the way they are to show how subset page numbering
    in a one-pass report will work in ReportBuilder. Try setting your report's
    PassSetting to TwoPass to correct the page numbering problems you…
  • Nagen,

    Once you create a valid subreport, a Child Report object exists for that
    subreport. If you would like to create another subreport/child report
    inside an already existing subreport or one you create at runtime, you will
  • Hello,

    Also, check out the following example of creating a subreport completely in
    code...

  • Yelena,

    Try not using a CrossTab. Try creating a regular report that emmulates a
    grid and performs summary calculation on the dataset using calc fields.

    You may also want to check out some of the add-on grid components av…
  • Yelena,

    1. Yes, the Crosstab component does its own sorting independent of the
    dataset. There are two speed buttons to control whether the order is
    ascending or descending.

    2. Check out the Crosstab demo #127 (ct12…
  • This question was answered in a previous post.

  • Hi Reid,

    Try placing a variable in place of the DBCalc and calculating the sum using
    another variable within the detail band. Then you can reset the variable on
    Group end to reset the total sum displayed.

    --
  • Reid,

    ReportBuilder only uses the data you give it to make calculations on a given
    dataset. Make sure you are connecting the calc components to the same data
    set as the report.

  • Nagen,

    Try placing a TppVariable located in the Footer band. Be sure that you set
    the TppVariable's Timing property to reset on Group Start. You can access
    the Timing property by right clicking on the variable.

  • Hi John,

    Which version of ReportBuilder are you using? There was a bug fix in
    ReportBuilder 7 that prevented the modified property getting set to True
    once you launch the designer without loading a template. The only reason
  • John,

    Below is an example of creating a custom save dialog once the template has
    been modified in the end-user designer.

    for a way to control whether you want to show the data tab or not.

  • Hi Reid,

    Check that the .dcu files located in the \RBuilder\Lib\... directory are
    dated 03/03/17 7:02am to be sure you have the latest version of
    ReportBuilder. Are you able to reproduce the AV errors that you were
