Are the X and Y values in the same record, of are they values for a single
field? I assume you have one X or Y value in each record. Create two
datasets, and filter them on X or Y do that you have one dataset for the X

Yes, the OnCalc does fire multiple times. However, by using the OnCalc when
calculating values for a TppVariable, the value is always cached and ready

the event handler. Please see the Tech-Tips newsgroup in the Templates
thread for a… -
Try setting Report.CachePages to true. What may be happening is that your
event handlers are refiring, as they always do when generating for the
printer unless CachePages is set to true after a screen preview of the

Can they run a template locally? I would make an attempt to create a
template on their side as a test, to take the deployment code out of the
equation. Then you can see if they can create an rtm and then open it. I

It could be a virus, but it sounds as if the template is in ascii format
when you are trying to load it as binary? Is this the case? If you are
saving templates as ascii text files, then make sure that your user doesn't

From what context? If you have a master detail report, and the master prints
on a new page, then set the detail data pipeline's SkipWhenNoRecords
property to cause the master to not print when there are no details.

The Report.PassSetting is what you need to set to psTwoPass as Ed mentions.
The first pass happens before the first generated page is sent to the
devices. This way you'll know the page count when the first page is sent in

You should be able to create and install a new Delphi package with only
these two renderer classes included. This can be done much like you can to
install additional RAP pass through functions to extend RB at Delphi design
time.

When you want to use these options, you need to set the style of the
crosstab. Rightt click over the crosstab component in the designer and
you'll see under the Style option, there are two more choices than before.

RB 5.5 does not support Delphi 6. You'll have to upgrade to RB 7 to get
native D6 (as well as D5 and D7) support. Instead of recompiling RB, we want

shipped on time… -

Jim BennettSorry, my mistake. You can do this in this event:
procedure TForm1.ppReport1PreviewFormCreate(Sender: TObject);
begin
TppViewer(ppReport1.PreviewForm.Viewer).PageColor := clRed; {pick your
color}
end;Open up your copy of RBuilder\Source and change TppViewer.Create to set the
FPageColor variable to clWhite. Then rebuild RB using this version of RB.
You'll have to change this everytime you install RB for future versions.
