  • PS: These do not need to be accumulated on each record/row, by the
    way... they are just simple percentage calculations across the band.
    Other dbcalcs on the band are counting records, and I need to show the

  • ReportBuilder didnt work well with TeeChart because the resolution of the
    resulting charts (simple piecharts) is realy bad. Digital Metaphors are not
    interested in solving this problem. The DM solution: See the next release.

    I will check with him and see what he received. I am curious though as to
    why the e-mail sent from me went unanswered.

  • I responded back to another individual at your firm who emailed me.

    Anyway, the autoview option has been fixed and I am now working
    on the span pages issue. I hope to have a workable version by the

    Maybe its just me then? Not the kind of answer I was hoping to hear about
    his support.

    I sent yesterday a question to Jim and got the answer today.

    Did you actually receive the latest version from him yet though? My company
    contacted Jim regarding this problem also on/around August 20th and the

  • Yes, Jim got back to me, he said this has been fixed in the latest version
    of ExtraDev.
  • Ok, it turns out that the dialog appears when actually launching the report
    not when the preview tab is selected. At that point I must enter a value
    for the date field. When I enter a value, it comes back and says, "xxxx is
    not a va…
  • I figured out how to change the pipeline for the report. However, when I
    preview the report the AutoSearch dialog doesn't appear. What am I doing
    wrong? Thanks.

  • Okay, I think I was able to get all that to work. However, I had to change
    the way I was doing that report a little bit. Now I need to change the
    group header so that it will look at the new stuff I added to the data view,
    instead o…

  • Well, I may have cursed your cat a couple of times last night , but
    OTOH, I'm one of the defenders of the upgrade price and a frequent
    recommender of RB.

  • Really? Sorry about that...

    I thought my message looked kind of funny... "Error message: "an error
    occurred in the BDE"", follow-up: "I have isolated the problem to the

  • I get the sarcasm, and I'm sorry about the BDE message, but after the
    last 24 hours in *hell* with an RB problem that is still not resolved,
    everything I see now I first blame RB.

  • Hi Tom,

    Thanks for your reply.

    A couple of further questions:

    1) If I do use the first approach, I can still save the actual report layout
    to file and let the users modify it, can't I?

    2) I would like…

  • Cheers, Tom!

    Only problem is that the subreport is forcing a new page which I don't want.

    How do I stop that?

    Regards,

  • Thanks for the info. I'll just wait for the D5 version.
  • I had to set the visible property for each component in the Footerband to
    false rather than the Footerband itself. When I set the FooterBand to
    Visible=false I lost the positioning that the Footerband required. In other
    words, my Foot…
  • Hi Ben,

    If you bought ReportBuilder before 2001-11-01 you should update before first
    october to save some money (Early Adopter Special - offer).

  • Tom;

    Thanks for the answer. I bought RB Ent. 6.03 for my client. I don't
    remember the date of purchase and the office can't find a copy of the
    invoice. Can you point me to the right person in your company to tell me

  • They are already as "section". Before I did that I noticed they would
    overprint each other on the preview. Looking at your example, I changed
    them to "section".

  • Tom,

    As suggested, I moved the two pages to subreports. On these subreports I
    have a header and footer on each page. These do not appear. The detail
    body appears for each page, just not the header and footer. Do I need to

  • applied update pack 2 to delphi6 and everything works now

    didnt have that patch before - oh well

  • just to narrow it down:

    in my rebuilt environment i can create new reports and save them to the
    database but i can not open any existing reports including the new ones i
    just created

    very weird and frustrating
