  • Hi Alex,

    You will need to change the dataset anytime before you call Report.Print.
    You can do this by directly accessing the dataset in the Delphi form. If
    you are using Autosearch, you could possibly use those events to change…
  • Alex,

    Sorry, but there is no auto-sort capability in ReportBuilder.

    You could try changing the dataset before printing the report by adding an
    OrderBy in the SQL based on what a user enters. The key is that when you
  • Hi Moro,

    In this case you will need to create another report, hook this report to
    another dataset and print it separately from the first report.

  • Moro,

    Do not manuplate the dataset as the Report is running. If you need to
    append records, create a separate dataset and display those records in the
    summary of the report in a subreport.

  • Benson,

    It is possible to replace the print dialog with your own custom version.
    Below is an example of creating a custom print dialog as well as an article
    that should help get you started.

  • Ivan,

    Sorry, but the use of variables with the methods used in the SkipLabels
    example is not supported in ReportBuilder. The Variables are unable to keep
    accurate calculations when certian fields are skipped (set invisible).
  • Gerry,

    I tested the printer driver on my machine and it seems to function
    correctly. Is there an issue with the acutal printing of these labels? If
    so, please describe what is happening. You might want to test the paper
  • Tim,

    You can do this by using the third party tool RB-Addon. For more
    information on this add-on product for ReportBuilder, please see our website
    in the friends | rcl section.

  • Thanks for the suggestion.

  • Maarten,

    This is not a specific feature of ReportBuilder. You will need to either
    give your users access to RAP, or create some sort of custom dialog in
    Delphi that performs a similar task that Demo 33 does: Located in the
  • Hi Alexander,

    Please contact your Excel device vendor.

  • Nagen,

    Check out demo 72 located in the \RBuilder\Demos\1. Reports\... directory
    (dm0072.pas). This example shows how to tell if a report has continued to
    the next page and places a "continued..." message if it has.

  • David,

    Be sure you add ppJPEG to your 'uses' clause to enable jpeg support in
    ReportBuilder.

    --
  • David,

    Go into RAP at runtime and make sure you have access to your datapipeline.
    If not, you may have a naming descrepency. Please send a small example
    demonstrating the problem to support@digital-metaphors.com and we'll find …
  • Gary,

    ReportBuilder supports the brush styles that Delphi supports. In viewing
    the Delphi help on TBrushStyle, I do not see a bsBricks defined. You may
    have to define a custom bitmap for the brush style if you want to use
  • Jaline,

    ReportBuilder does not support the grouping of TeeChart components. You
    will have to use separate datasets for each TeeChart that you have in your
    report.

  • Barry,

    Chris is correct. There is no way to change the size of the field box. The
    boxes are defined by the actual field length stored in the database. You
    can view the field length by stretching the Data Tree to show the fiel…
  • Hi Eduardo,

    Sorry about the delay in this response. Are you able to create a
    Master-Detail Drilldown report without using FibPlus. Try getting one
    working just using the BDE before adding FibPlus into the picture. If you
    in FibPlus Comment by nicocizik July 2003
  • Eduardo,

    The Report Outline is not supported for DrillDown reports. You can turn off
    the outline by selecting the Report | Outline Settings... menu option in the
    Report Designer and un-checking the "Enabled" property.

    in FibPlus Comment by nicocizik June 2003
  • Eduardo,

    What is the problem you are having with drilldown reports? Please describe
    the issue you are having and we will work toward a solution for you.

    in FibPlus Comment by nicocizik June 2003
  • Chris,

    This is not a known issue. If you try to access your data directly from
    your Delphi application, does the speed increase? Check your BDE settings
    and be sure that your BlobToCache and BlobSize entries have sufficient
  • Nagen,

    You will not want to use the Detail.BeforePrint event when trying to
    enable/disable components in the header band. Try using the
    Header.BeforePrint event and see if that helps.

  • Ladrillo,

    This is not a standard method of linking datasets in ReportBuilder. We
    recommend you keep all datasets either on a form or in a template. Using
    RAP, you could create a pass thru function performing a similar task as …
  • Ladrillo,

    Yes this is possible. Below are links to a couple examples that show how to
    link a standard Delphi dataset to and from a DADE dataview.

    - Example 1: DADE Dataview is the Master.

    in Groups and order Comment by nicocizik June 2003
  • Ladrillo,

    Try calculating the totals in a new dataset and retrieving the totals from
    there, or simply ordering by the actual products in your original dataset.
    Then you can group by product as you need in the report and perform …
  • Lars,

    Try using a DBCalc to display the information and make sure it's LookAhead
    property is set to True. If this does not give you the results you are
    after, it is possible to create a variable and move the TppDrawCommand to
  • Ronny,

    Be sure you have the latest version of ReportBuilder 7.02 Build 2 dated
    03/03/17 7:02am. If you do, you may have a corrupt install or are using
    resources from a previous install. Read the article below on how to clean a…
  • Neil,

    You are only required to own a deployment license for each CPU that the
    actual Report Server is running on. Not the client software.

    If for instance you plan to run a report server from a machine at your
    office…
  • Neil,

    You may want to check out ReportBuilder Server Edition using a client
    report. This way you can keep the printer driver on the server and use it
    to display the individual reports.

  • Hello,

    You do not need to re-compile all the TeeChart packages. Only the
    ReportBuilder wrapper packages. Please follow the directions given in the
