It is a current limitation. The problem is that it would require a two pass
report to get the absolute page count so that a multiple report can generate
correctly, even when a single page report would print as desired in our
current i… -
In the groups dialog, there is a check box to reset the page count to 1 when
each new group begins printing.

The bpls are still named *55 in RB 6 for Delphi 5 instead of *65.

There is a public property on the Report.PrinterSetup object called
DelegateCopies. Set this to true. This will cause the pages for the current
copy to be sent to the printer. When it is false(default) all of the pages
are generated f… -
I was curious if removing the rtf engine would have helped speed things up,
looks like it didn't. From my understanding, 91kb is pretty big for a 1
inch square jpg. I'd try to reduce the size of the jpgs if at all possible.What is the speed difference if you remove the rtf control and use separate
dbImage and dbMemo components?

ReportBuilder has Autosearch which provides ask-at-runtime parameters. Look
in the installed RBuilder\Demos\Autosearch for some examples of this. When
designing a report using DADE, autosearch is handled automatically by adding

Be sure to install RB 6.02. The only way a page will generate is if there
is a control that is overflowing onto the next page. It is possible that you

How is the data setup? Is it master-detail?
RB can't order the data for you based on the groups dialog. The data must be
sorted on the dataset level. Hook a TDBGrid up to your datasource on the

reproduce it. So, there must be something different about the code the

Digital Metaph…Use another TppVariable and its OnCalc event to perform this calculation.
There is a CalcOrder property you can use to set the order that the OnCalc
event handlers are fired. Be sure to set the variable's datatype property
as well.We use an HP Laserjet 5 here and it prints with no problem for RB 5.56.

print it on our HP LaserJet 5 printer to investigate this further,

What is the default printer installed on the machine? Some printers have
different measurements which have been defined for the unprintable areas on
the paper, as that may cause the problem? This isn't a known issue with
5.56.

I placed a memo next to a subreport in the detail band. The memo was as tall
as the page. The subreport printed multiple records and overflowed onto the
next page. If the memo was set to ReprintOnOverflowm, it did so as expected.
