  • Open the DADE plug-in package for DBISAM, rbDBISAM.dpk, and check the
    requires clause. Make sure there is not a reference to BdeRtl. A while back
    we found that the rbDBISAM.dpk package contained a Bde reference
    erroneously.

  • We have not announced a date. Patches are available for RB 10.03, email
    support@digital-metaphors.com to request patches.



  • I assume you are referring to extending RAP, the run-time Pascal
    environment.

    - See the article below about Extending RAP.

    - RAP does not support arrays. However it does support TList and
    TStringList.

  • - one approach is to modify the Report.PrinterSetup properties prior to
    calling Report.Print

    Example:

    myReport.SavePrinterSetup := True; // this will save printer setup mods

  • - thanks for that info. Sounds like a conflict that occurs when that script
    is executed.

    - rebooting sounds like a good work around. If not as Nico suggested try
    adding \RBuilder\Source to the Delphi library path and the…

  • RB Version 4 introduced TppVariable and TppSystemVariable. (Earlier versions
    had a TppCalc component, that was discontinued starting with RB 4).

    Access the RBuilder.hlp, select the table of contents, and then select
    Repo…

  • Another option you can try is to use the TppRichText component and its mail
    merge feature. This enables you to embed datafields in formatted text. Then
    at run-time RB replaces the datafield tags with the datafield values. This

  • You need to purchase a license to ReportBuilder 10 Enterprise. It includes
    a license to the last produced version for Delphi 5, which is RB 7.04.



  • You might try rebooting your computer and then as test, run the
    RBuilder\Demos.

    I tried a simple test here and it appeared to work correctly. I changed my
    settings from 96 to 120 dpi and ran the RBuilder\Demos\Reports\De…

  • I assume you mean that you have a TppVariable in the group footer of the
    main report and want to sum across serveral iterations of a subreport.

    - create a TppVariable, called varSalesTotal in the group footer of the main

  • Sorry, but there currently is no right alignment support for the barcode
    symbol.

    I will add this to the list of requested features.



  • I recommend creating a custom Preview plug-in. The defailt preview plug-in
    is defined in ppPreview.pas and the registration code is at the bottom of
    the unit. The TppPreview plug-in class creates and manages the preview UI
    co…

  • As a first incremental step, determine how this can be done using a TeeChart
    placed on a form (i.e. no ReportBuilder). Use the TeeChart documentation and

  • When I tried a simple test here I could not recreate the issue.

    Please specify exact steps to recreate - perhaps using the RB examples or
    create a simple example project that we can run here and email to

  • - If you have multiple reports that reside on the same form/datamodule then
    that can cause the issue. When a report template loads, the Delphi VCL will
    rename any components that are not unique. In Delphi, the Form/DataModule is
