What version of RB are you using? There was a bug in older versions, such as
RB 6.03. The left to right traversal of subreports should be fixed if you
are using RB 7. Can you download and test RB 7.03 to… -
Hi Serge,
There is the OnCustomSaveDoc event on the designer component which provides
you the ability to code your own saving logic. That might be more than what
you want to do in this case since you want to allow the report to … -

Hi Jarrod,
You should extract the dataviews in code. You can eliminate the custom
dataview templates by checking the class type of the dataview when it is
extracted. If it is not a custom dataview class, then you can extract the… -
Hi Claudia,
Not all of the Teechart properties and methods are available in RAP. You'll

chart in RAP this way. Pass the chart object in the function and ma… -
Hi Claudia,
You can set a query object's SQL in RAP if you want to. What are you trying

In an n-tier environment, the report templates can reside on an end user
database. All the users can access this report and print it out or load it

Hi Antonio,
The last demo we received from you on file was on Jan 21, 2003 for a
question about BarCodes. Could you resend the demo and we'll take a look at
it. Send all attachments to support@digital-metaphors.comHi Antonio,
Thankyou for the suggestions to enhance autosearch.
You are right, the current way to implement these requests is for you to
code a custom autosearch dialog
in How many people are happy with the actual AutoSearchFields? Comment by digitalmetaphors September 2003Hi Moisey,
To solve your problem in the end user configuration, assign the
Report.Template.OnLoadEnd event in code in order to set this property on the

Hi Adnan,
You mention you are using RB Enterprise 5.0. Have you tested with the latest
version of RB 7.03? There have been significant enhancements to DADE since
RB 5.0 so you may wish to give the latest version a try to see if …Hi Jarrod,
There is no built in support to allow the fields to not be changed. You'll
have to change the query designer code by registering a replacement query
designer that stops this behavior. Here is an example of replacing t…Hi Serge,
You'll have to code a custom dataview template if you want to use stored
procs in DADE. There is an example of creating a custom dataview template in
the end user demos directory of the RBuilder installation folder.Hi Serge,
RB's DADE uses dataviews, which usually rely on queries and data
connections, just like you would create on a TForm or TDatamodule. RB
creates the query objects in code (they expect to have an ADOConnection in

Hi Claudia,
There is no button component in RB. However, there is the ability to make
the output on the screen preview hot clickable. For example, you can create
a drill down subreport by clicking on a shape. See the main report…Hi Jeff,

Hi Kongthap,
You'll have to replace the Report's data pipeline, not the dataview. The
dataview only exists when using DADE.
Replace your code:
ppReport1.DataPipeline.DataView := ppDBPipeline1.DataView;
Hi Kongthap,
When you create a dataview in DADE, the objects of the dataview are saved in
the report template. You can then load this template at runtime, however,
the report will create the dataviews at runtime and use those da…Hi Rashid,
Running balances can be calculated using a DBCalc pointed to the field of

Leave the original ppPrvDlg.pas alone. Rename your visual form as

Thankyou for upgrading!
Depending on which version of RB 5.5x you have, we completely replaced the

Hi Julio,
Using Oracle 9, we used the Long type for the Template field. There is a SQL

that creates the end user database definition for Oracle.Hi Shiju,
