There is a demo in our main reports demo project which prints selected
records from a grid. See demo #112.

There is no built-in function to generate empty detail bands down the page.
The way for the end user to do this is to provide RAP functions as shown in
this demo:
in How to draw blank detail band manually? Comment by digitalmetaphors June 2003 -
If you want the impression of a form as the background, ie. lines down the
page on every page there is data, then use the PageStyle band and then let
the detail bands generate only the data over the page style band which
always prints… -
The display formats are customizable. I added a new format to the example
below and it works on a TppVariable.

If the data being fed to the variable is the same, and the display format is
the same, then it should work. What is the raw data value that is being
returned from the data access component that doesn't work when compared to
the one th… -
The display format shown should be the same on both reports, because it
relies on the same Windows regional settings for your machine. Is the
datatype the same for each variable in the two reports? Are you loading the

Make sure the report is connceted to the data. From the Report menu, there
should be a Data menu item that lets you select the dataview's pipeline from
a drop down. This is most likely the culprit.

The advantage alias approach should work with the ADS DADE plugin. It works
for us here. Verify that the alias can be used to fire an ADS query at
runtime to get data to a simple dbGrid on a TForm. Set

Yes, the reason the report is slow is because every time the detail band of
the master report fires the event, it fires a detail query. The event can
fire multiple times when a page break occurs, thus slowing this down even
more by yo… -
How is your data access configured? Are you using parameterized detail
queries? How many event handlers are part of this report? Is there a speed
issue on a simple table dump report with one dataset? Is there a slow

The DADE plugin will create a default ADOConnection when it cannot find the
connection. Make sure that the Designer.Datasettings are correct and that
you can create a new dataview at runtime (meaning that you can connect to

In Paradox/BDE, you can use the Extract keyword to get the month from a
field. See the Crosstab demos if you have RB Pro or Enterprise for an
example of this SQL calculated field.
For the year, it would be like this, and it woul… -
It works fine in tests here using RB 7.02. The text wrapping logic was
re-written for RB 5.55.
Here is the project I tested which you can download.

Hi John,
We do have the Barcode 93 component. I'll have it added to the website

We have not received a component at this time in order for us to host a link
to it from our website. Try emailing Serge directly from his reply address
on this post.

Digital MetaphorsVery cool Serge. If you would like, feel free to send us a copy
(components@digital-metaphors.com) of this component and we'll put it on the
report component library section of our website for others to download.
Cheers,Is there autosearch being applied to the dataset? Can the two compouters
preview the same data in a grid to get the product description without RB
involved?

template, it will overwrite the changes you've previously made to the

Can you reproduce the error with the main reports demo # 155 which uses a
dbArchiveReader component?

You can 't cancel the report process before the first page is generated. You
will have to check your condition before calling Report.Print to determine
if this should be called or not.

D…The printersetup is persistent. It is saved in the report archive file. To
change the printer setup for archives you have to use the
ArchiveReader.OnInitializePrinterSetup event.
