Dot matrix printers are natively line and character based. Most dot
matrix printers can emulate graphical (i.e. pixel based) printing, but
there is additional overhead which degrades printing speed.
Some options for maximizing p… -

The file device class supports setting the page list just as the printer
device can. You can do something similar to demo 124, which uses the
Report.PrinterDevice property, but instead change it to use the
Report.FileDevice property.… -
See demo # 124 in the main reports demo project. It shows how to print a
list of pages. You could launch your own dialog to get the page range from
the user and set it as in the demo.

I don't believe Rb5.52 has support for the latest from TeeChart since all
TeeChart 5.x versions were released after 5.52 was created. You will need
to upgrade RB or install TeeChart 4.x as RB 5.53 was when TeeChart 5.0
support was ad… -
What is in the report? Can you take out the images and isolate which
component in the report is causing the problem? What happens when there is
nothing but a single text label in the report?- Does it print?

Use the OnCalc event of the TppVariable to assign a value to the
TppVariable. The dbCalc will always fire its calculation before the
TppVariable's OnCalc.

You could place a label component in the header band and in the AfterPrint
event of the footer band, assign the caption of the label to the curreny
value you would like. Set the label's caption to an empty string in the

There is a demo which shows how to start printing labels at a certain label
number.

RAP doesn't know about scope when it looks at datamodules to try and find
datapipelines. You'll need to take care of this using a pass through

The reason you are seeing the parenthesis is that it is dependent on your

The footer band is always a static height band. There is an unprintable
area on printers, which reduces the actual area in which you can print on.
If you are using the footer as a buffer to keep from printing the detail

Our main master detail demo repot in your installation show how to display a

You could try to use the BeforePrint event of the master report's detail
band to setup the detail query, this is assuming that the drilldown
subreport is located in the detail band. You can do something like this:

The event that fires fires would be the OnDrawCommandClick event of the
component which causes the subreport to drilldown, however, since this event
triggers the drilldown behavior, any OnDrawCommandClick event handler you
have assign… -
The query fires because the Subreport.Visible = True. You'll need to custom
code your own drill down subreport implementation, which wouldn't be a small
task, and add on top of it to set the subreport to visible true only when

You may want to update your printer driver on that machine, since it
previews correctly, but just doesn't print. The fact that it does print to
the printer from other machines perhaps points to the driver on the
non-working machine? … -
Cancel should stop the report from generating. Reset doesn't need to be

Sorry, but we're still working on finding an approach which will fix it
without breaking existing reports.

When you set the height of the top region to zero, you'll need to also
manually set the top of the region below it to a new value so that it will
shift upwards for you. ShiftRelativeTo is used for stretching components.
C…There is no timeout setting you can make on RB, we rely on the data access
components to retrieve the data. This would rely on the timeout setting
which is determined on the database connection object, usually.
Cheers,Thanks for reporting this. I see that when you edit the newly pasted
dbText, you can't change the Name property and the UserName isn't
automatically updated, because it does work when the component is created

affecting where the printer thinks it should start printing. The

Create a new report with a chart, in RB6.02 using TeeChart 5.02 in D6 and
recompile- this would be the fist test to make sure that it is working
correctly before testing the conversion of an older report.
Cheers,
Perhaps I didn't configure the TeeChart in the report the same as yours.
Can you send a sample report that shows this conversion problem when opened
with D6, RB 6.02, and Teechart 5.02 to support@digital-metaphors.com
