  • Hi Mike

    and

    Yes, we did so. We build our astaserver with RB6.03. But after having some
    unidentified problems (hanging server after running a report with RAP) now
    the client makes the reports (perhaps that was a thread…

  • Thanks for the reply.

    I started with the client side (if you can call IntraWeb a client ) but
    had threading problems (this is with Ace). Thought I might be able to
    control it better on the Asta server side as I und…
  • Mike,
    excellent!
    so now i do understand the amount of time needed to build such a thing
    thx!

  • Nard,
    normally i wouldn't interrupt this kind of thread
    but i find the price of the server edition quite high, the more you have to
    pay per server (if i got it right)
    maybe you can convince me that it is cheap compared to what i …
  • Actually no, the RB Server would be a bit of overkill. I am using Intraweb
    with Asta for the db pooling and scaling. I just need to create a report on
    the Asta server, convert it to html and feed it back to Intraweb.

    My question…
  • In article <3d7557df$1@dm500.>, "Tom Ollar \(Digital Metaphors\)"
  • FYI, you need to also use ppTypes, and change the create line to:

    lDevice := TppDevice.Create(self)

    but it does work. Thanks.



  • The misalignment of taCentered labels when printing from preview seems to be
    caused by my changing the font colour in report.BeforePrint AFTER having set
    the width of the lable to match the paper.

    I don't understand it, but sett…
  • Please announce when a D5 version of RB 7 pro is available.

    Will it be before the prices go up?? I do hope so.

  • Thanks Tom.
    The sales department got back to me with my serial number.

    Cheers,

  • Hi Tom,
    Thanks for the information. I went to the main site to purchase the
    update. I was not aware I could get it for $175. We purchased in Nov 1998!!

    The site requires we enter our serial number for updates. Our delivery
  • Thanks Tom.

    I was wondering if other earlier updates, like to RB6 Pro, still were
    available like you said the RB 4.23 link was? I think Delphi 6 will be
    our target in the short term. I understand that if we move to delphi 7 , …
  • Hi Rich,

    emails

    Its worth a lot to me !. :-)
    Its more than i hear from sales. :-(

    Thanks,
    Nico.
  • For what it's worth, my company was in a similar boat, having purchased RB 6
    in the beginning of July.

    Sales informed me after I emailed them that they will be sending out emails
    with the download links for the free upgrade.
  • Okay, got it - there was a MyReport.free lurking from a previous idea of
    how to do this. Killed it an now the code, with the template.new line,
    works great.

    The correct code for the record:

    In the unit's implementa…
  • Can't get it to work.

    In the unit's implementation, I have:

    msSaveReport : TMemoryStream ;

    In the unit's formcreate, I have:

    msSavePreport := TMemoryStream.create ;
    MyReport.template.saveToStream(msSa…
  • Okay, didn't take long, I figured it out:

    MyReport.template.savetostream...

    Thanks. I'm going to try saving it, deleting the groups, running the
    report, and then just restoring it back to the same report again...
  • Got a code sample?

    I get the gist of what you're saying but don't know the methods involved.

  • Hi Richard,

    I use another TReport to accomplish a similar thing. Save the layout at
    run-time into a memory stream and load that stream into the new TReport.
    The user then edits the new TReport.

    Cheers

  • That would force me to distribute another file with my application,
    though, which I really try to avoid (it means updating the setup routine
    and a definite new support issue).

    Any other way to do it?



  • Further observation - the problem is purely related to the height of the
    ppRichText. For example, on Win98 it cannot generate if it is over about
    half a page. On WinXP it prints at any size and goes over to the next page
    if necessa…
  • Unfortunately I cannot use a join since my datasets are not based on SQL.
    The datasets (TBoldDataSet) are wrappers around lists in the object
    framework Bold for Delphi and they do not support join. We have created DADE
    extensions to m…
  • Thanks Jim;
    I'll hunt this one down..

  • Carlos,


    I don't know it, but at least since version 5.56 (Sorry, but I don't have
    the time for researching history). Including the used version of
    ReportBuilder, Delphi & OS will always help to support you.

  • Chris,

    Since what version RB have this property?

  • Hi Carlos,

    select from the file menu the pagesettings. On the layout page you can
    select 'left to right traversal'.
    (Note : left to right traversal doesn't work properly in subreports before
    ReportBuilder 7)

    HTH,…
  • Jim,

    I appreciate your help, I just can't get it to work. I'm using RB Pro 6.02
    and Delphi 5 Enterprise.

    Here's my code:

    Thanks,

    Mike
