If you select to install Teechart support in the installation program, then
the proper RBTeechart files are installed for you automatically. If you
have the proper files already in the correct locations, then you don't have

I found the same problem, it seems like D6 doesn't save the last changes to
the Component | Install Packages, if I configure them manually. I had to
check Default in that dialog, and then closed Delphi. Then when I went back

So, the dfm is getting corrupted somehow, has nothing to do with Coderush,
and we're not sure why. I can't reproduce the problem with any order of
steps- it seems to be very random indeed. If anyone can create some steps
that will a… -
Since I have installed Coderush in Delphi 6, I now get the RLink32 message
quite often as a result of crashing and having an emergency backup file
created. Do you both have coderush installed? I had Coderush in D5, and

The only thing that we have encountered like this is an ADOQuery which would
cause an error when the query was active when the form was opened.
Is this problem reproducable everytime? If so, then please create a demo

You are going to have to build a sequence of events that cause the AV.
This is probably the best way to figure out what causes the AV in the
destruction sequence.

You could use some code as shown below, where I just typed in some SQL in a
memo on a form and created a query on my data. Then I took the field names
and created labels in the header and dbtexts in the detail band. You'll

Here is an example you can download which shows read only reports.

Thanks for reporting this, it has been fixed. I can send you a new engine
pas file if you would like and you can recompile using your source copy of
RB.

Digital MetaphorsYou could use the Report.BeforePrint event to set the caption property of a
Label in the title/header band. If you want to use a report variable, use
the OnCalc event and configure the timing of when it fires by using the

descend from TppCustomPreview like TppPreview does and create all of the
controls yourself, or you can descend from the TppPreview class.

The older version of RB's JIT pipeline forced you to code 14 event handlers

demos in the ReportBuilder installation under the

The problem most likely is that you call Report.PrintToDevices and free the
report before it finishes execution. While the report is generating, you

the runtime designer? This would fire the GetFields method on the metacache
for sure, regardless if there are autosearch criteria.
Cheers,The metacache is a mechanism to retrieve the field name. First it will
access the datadictionary to get the field name. If there is no data

We know that the HP Laserjet 4 driver will not cause this problem. It
