There is a Developer's Guide PDF in your RBuilder installation. In the PDF
is a chapter called Code and there are also RAP tutorials in the PDF as
well. The RAP tutorial Delphi projects are located in the RAP folder under

You'll need to use a TppVariable. Store the calculations in the Value
property of the variable and use its OnCalc event for the calculation.

Try setting the CaseSensitive property on the Designer.Datasettings to true.

Hi Shiju,
If you've verified the connection to the printer is good and can print from
other apps, the printer driver is the latest, then there is not much you

We made enhancements to our source to address this issue. Upgrading is the

What version are you using? This was a problem in older versions of RB. This
should not be an issue in the latest version (RB 7.02). If you are using RB

Yes, I was thinking maybe you have another machine to test with which
wouldn't interfere with your current development using your installed
version of RB.

If you can preview but not print only, then is there any code that you have
which affects the ADOConnection? Be aware the the report events will fire

I forgot to mention that I used RB 7.03, Delphi 6 and SQL Server 2000 via

Hi Jarrod,
You're right, the table names are in the cache. I was off in the wrong track
trying to determine if the dictionary was being used, and it was, however,
the table names were already in the cache, although the joins inf…I followed your steps and the demo works correctly. The data dictionary
