Make sure that the report controls are configured to a fixed width font such
as courier new 10. See the main reports demo #107 in which the report is
configured to map to the desired character grid of the report emulation text
file. A… -
The easiest this to do is to try increasing the margins for the report to
account for the printers that your users have which require larger margins.

Do you know why you are getting infinite pages? If a band or control can't
fit on any page, then that would cause it. One way to try to code a check
for infinite pages may be to check to see during the detail band after print
events,… -

You need RB 7. What happened is that D6 update pack 2 raises a new

Place the controls in the detail inside of a TppRegion component in the
detail band. Set the Region.KeepTogether = True. Drag the region around in
the designer to make sure the the controls are parented by the region.

This isn't natively supported. Are you using the page footer band in this

You have RB Pro, so the best thing to do is to try converting the reports at
runtime using the runtime report designer. This way Delphi won't lock up on
you. If you could provide us with a template that shows the conversion

Yes, that works too. The region is a good way to toggle component visibility
in a band. Another good use of regions is to stack one region on top of
another to toggle between printing two different sets of components in the
same band … -
Ok, I see what you want now. Yes, use an empty 4 inch tall footer band, but
on the last page, tell it to not print. There is a
Footerband.PrintOnLastPage boolean property you can set to false to
accomplish this. There is a thread, st… -
Use the BottomOffset property of the detail band to force it to not print
into a reserved area of the bottom of the page.

RB doesn't support this image natively. However, you can rely on TPicture to
try to load any image, though the TIF format is not supported by TPicture
either. You will need to use another 3rd party component to load a TIF image

Thankyou for your interest in ReportBuilder for CBuilder. Our decision is to

Yes, you should be able to do this in a descendent preview class that you

You can use the footerband. However, you'll have to toggle the visibility so
that it only prints on the last page. One way to do it is to check to see if
you are on the last page of the report. Set the Report.PassSetting to
psTwoPass.…
