(I responded to your previous post you made added onto an earlier thread,
but here it is again)
This isn't a currently known issue with RB. When are you freeing the
report? You may be able to change your library path to point … -
Make sure the labels are contained in the region by grabbing the region and
moving it in the designer. The labels should be dragged around as the region
moves. I created a simple report with a stretching dbRichText above a

Probably won't make it in soon. You could create your won TppDrawText
descendant and save the FontSize as a new property. Then override the
DrawText method and use Windows API calls so you are not limited by

Thanks, fractional font sizes would be a nice feature.

See your installed ..\RBuilder\Tutorials\Complete\I.Reports\14.Using the
JITPipeline
there is a pas file in ther which shows the code for this tutorial. You can
run the project by going in to ..\Tutorials\Complete\II.ApplicationsThis is a limitation on the shapes. However, lines should print with the
pen style. We are currently researching the issue.

I've never received the 'device not functioning' message when installing
packages. Check to make sure that the old package is uninstalled from
Delphi before the new one is installed.

That would be a bug. I'm emailing you a patched unit.

It sounds like you have gone backwards in your version? That or you simply
have a corrupt installation. I've included instructions for cleaning up a
corrupt install.
The data sounds complicated. A JIT traversing a tree. Normally…Place the label/dbtext controls and the memo in a region. Set the region to

Yes. It is our intent to provide multiple traversal of the same data
pipeline. In older versions, where multiple traversal was not allowed, it
generated a lot of questions...

dtPrinter. Add ppTypes to your uses clause.

I assume you are using RB 6.02 and TeeChart 5.02 for Delphi 6. This isn't a
known problem with this combination. Make sure your datapipeline is set to
visible = true.

Digital Metaphors…Most likely there is a corrupt installation of RB. We have installations of
RB 6.02 here with TeeChart 5.01. I just reinstalled this morning and have
had no problems. I would uninstall/delete RB and also RB's Teechart 55x
packages. P…RB6.02 supports TeeChart 5.02 for Delphi 6. For Delphi 5, we support
TeeChart 5.01.

Also, this error was a known issue with the initial RB 6 release. Upgrade to
6.02.

RB is not entirely threadsafe. Changes were incorporated into RB to support
basic multithreading. Instead of calling Report.Print, use the
PrintToDevices method. Try removing any richtext and barcode controls from
the report.
…The report engine doesn't support skipping of records very well when the
report is set to left to right traversal(the engine was never originally
designed for this). We'll have to recreate a demo at some point in time.

We aren't currently supporting it in the DADE plug-in. Sorry, but we have
no immediate plans for upgrading the plug-in at this time.
Cheers,
Try disabling the Advantage DataDictionary.

You say that our end user demos are working on your machine, so there must
be a configuration problem. Check the DataSettings property on the Report
Designer component. This is how DADE knows where to find the database.
C…Use the AliasName instead of a path on the Advantage database component. The
current DADE plugin is currently limited in this regard.

Advantage 6.11 was just released and we haven't tested with it yet. Are you
using the Advantage datadictionary? This is a new feature they have. We need
to test with 6.11 before we'll have any definite answers. Thankyou, for
