  • Hi Marc,

    Thanks! I tried using a shape but it appeared to move itself underneath the
    detail band displayed fields. Now that I think about it, maybe I have
    ShiftWithParent or something like that enabled. Thanks , at least now …
  • Alex,
    put a shape behind the fields you want to print
    make sure the fields are transparent
    either code the onprint event handler of the shape in rap (preferrably cause
    you see the effect in design time) or in code
    something …

    thats exactly what the ppSystemvar is for (so the systemvar component in the
    designer)
    you can put time, page, pageset etc in this label
    i don't think it matters where you put the systemvar
    if you want page/totalpages t…
  • Hi Marc,

    Thanks for your response. The system variable as I understand is for
    display in the report. I need to be able to accurately display the current
    and total page count not within the report but in a label on the form, so…
  • Alex,
    look at the system variable wich you can let show the page or the
    page/totalpages

  • Alex,
    look at the Page Style band
    wich is something you can define for the whole page

  • Hi Hott,

    excuse my asking, but from your last message I couldn't see any relation to
    my given hint.
    If you had a problem in using the tech-tip or to implement it the right way
    you should be so specific and tell us what you …

    I DO SIR!!!

  • Thanks Chris
    Actually I don't use PreviewForm, I just make use of ppReport1.
    When I issue
    ppReport1.PrintReport;
    It comes out the PreviewForm, that what I expected, simple,
    but the 'PreviewForm' is in wsNormal state,
  • Hi Hott,

    Sure, because PreviewForm is nil at this time.
    see tech-tip 'Controlling the Built-in Previewer' in section
    'Formats and Devices (Report Output)'. If you are using Templates you should
    read the tips from that secti…

  • Just wanted to say that placing everything into regions worked, ppShape
    prints correctly and the problems with those extra blank lines are gone.
    Thanks for your help Alexander.

  • Hi Chris,

    I left Crystal after version 5, and could add some reasons too!
    Using one set of DLLs has never been a good idea, it's the same problem as
    with the BDE.

    regards,
    Chris Ueberall;

  • In my experience there is one BIG reason. Crystal incompatibility accross
    versions and .DLL's. You can find tons of places with the same situation.
    Program 1 was built using crystal 6 and works great. Another application is
    installed …
  • Hi Alexander,


    that's not the whole truth, using the internationalized version of
    ReportBuilder needs the distribution of the translated string resources, a
    bunch of 4 files per language. (but that's really no reason to sta…

  • Alexander,

    sorry for the delay in responding and thanks for your suggestion!

    This 3 level report is connected by 3 datapipelines to IBObject queries.

  • Hi Alexander,

    I understand your suggestion, that's the way I also could imagine but it
    includes a lot of work.
    There is no way to just repeat a page by the copies property of the
    subreport?

  • Alex,
    i do suspect the ont-the-fly created tppdbtext components to be beneath the
    shape
    so i suggest after creating those field to issue a TppShape.SendToBack to be
    sure the Shape is behind the controls
    this should work
  • Alex

    why don't you use the TppSystemVariable configured as vtPageSetDesc or
    vtPageSet (VarType)
    this will give you page x/y
    ans works correctly in the preview

  • Hi Robbi,

    My total page count is correct as I do use twoPass. However, when scrolling
    backwards from the last page, the AbsolutePageNo property does not appear to
    return the correct page number.

    Thanks

    Ale…
  • Set the report's pass property to 'twoPass', then it first builds and counts
    all pages before displaying the first one. Otherwise RB creates only those
    pages you are walking through.
