ReportBuilder does not have the ability to append a RTF based on data traversal. The mail merge feature is meant to merge the current field values into an existing RichText component.
For your case, I suggest using the detail band of the report to iterate over all field values in the DB. This could be done with a TppRichText with mail merge fields or by simply placing DBText components as needed.
It's possible for you give me an example or explain me better your idea.
We need to work on the solution ASAP.

Hi Rolphy,
ReportBuilder does not have the ability to append a RTF based on data traversal. The mail merge feature is meant to merge the current field values into an existing RichText component.
For your case, I suggest using the detail band of the report to iterate over all field values in the DB. This could be done with a TppRichText with mail merge fields or by simply placing DBText components as needed.
I apologize if I was unclear. I am suggesting that you use the detail band as designed instead of trying to append a TppRichText with mail merge (which is not a built-in feature). This is the fundamental way ReportBuilder is meant to traverse data.
Examples of this can be found in just about every example provided in our main reports demo located in the \Demos\1. Reports\... directory.
The provided tutorials also give a number of examples that show how to traverse data using DB aware components inside the detail band.
Now I understand your idea, I know how to use the detail band and I understand the way ReportBuilder is meant to use the detail band.
In your first post, I thought you were referring a way to combine TppRichText and detail band to accomplish (in a way) my task.
That said,
1.- Is there a way to combine TppRichText and detail band? 2.- Is there a way to replace a tag (MailMerge) from a report with TppRichText and other report with the detail band?
Or just give a hint to accomplish my task.
TIA!

ReportBuilder does not include a built-in way to merge/combine RichTexts. This is something that would need to be done outside RB with a different utility or manually in code.
2.- Is there a way to replace a tag (MailMerge) from a report with TppRichText and other report with the detail band?
Mailmerge tags can only be tied to an available dataset/datapipeline. You can use the OnMailMerge event to process the RichText data manually after the mail merge process has occurred.

Thanks Nico for the quick answer.
I don't understand your idea.
