  • Hi Paul,

    in Stream Read Error Comment by nicocizik July 2005
  • Hi Paul,

    1. You apparently have the Server Edition and are creating a server app.
    For future reference, please be sure to tell me this before we get started
    or post your question inside the Server newsgroup. This helps us un…
  • Hi Paul,

    Which version of ReportBuilder are you using? We have not encountered an
    error like this having to do with separate editions of Delphi 6. Delphi 6
    Enterprise does contain some extra classes and objects but if you ar…
  • Hi Paul,

    This is not a known issue with ReportBuilder. Usually a stream read error
    indicates corrupt template data. What are the differences between the
    computer that can successfully run the report and the one that receives…
  • Hi Ed,

    Excellent, thanks for the info :).

  • Hi William,

    You should be able to change the DetailBand.BandsPerRecord to control the
    number of copies of each label you would like to see. This value can be
    changed on the fly in the BeforePrint event if you need a different…
  • Hi Joe,

    This is probably due to the fact that you have some old .dcu or .bpl files
    on your machine from your old installation that are still being brought in
    during your build. Take a look at the following article on cleaning…
  • Hello,

    The dclRBU75 package is already loaded into your Delphi IDE when you install
    ReportBuilder so you have access to the checkbox immediately. This
    component was purposefully separated out of the main app to show how easil…
  • Hello,

    Depending on the complexity of the component, adding a new one to a report
    can be fairly simple. Please take a look at the demo located in the
    \RBuilder\Demos\6. RCL\... directory for a good example of adding a new
  • Hi CBenac,

    Are you using the data workspace in ReportBuilder to build your queries
    (i.e. DADE) or are you using a TDataSet descendent and adding the sql text
    at run time?

    If you are using DADE, you will want to chec…
  • Hi,

    Check out Demo 92 located inside the main reports demo application...
    \RBuilder\Demos\1. Reports\... directory. Note that you will need to remove
    the "x" from the include tag at the top of the dmMain.pas file in order to …

  • Hi Kevin,

    Thanks, however I still need to know what code is firing to cause this
    error. Are you able to create this error on your machine? If not, this
    probably has something to do with your client's setup rather than
  • Hi Kevin,

    Where does this error occur? Try setting your Delphi IDE to stop on
    exceptions to perhaps see which line of code is causing this error. You may
    also try commenting out your event code and seeing if the error still …
  • Hi Steve,

    Sure, we will let you know.

  • Hi Steve,

    Unfortunately this is a limitation of using horizontal traversing columns in
    ReportBuilder. ReportBuilder was originally designed to display data
    vertically. The Left to Right traversal feature is very limited in i…
  • Hi Stephen,

    In the groups dialog (Report | Groups |... option in the designer main
    menu), be sure the "Start New Column" option is checked inside the On Group
    Change section of the dialog. This will start each group on the fi…
  • Hi Fabio,

    The use of the detail band is almost necessary in order to display data
    without having to traverse your data manually. I'm a bit unclear about what
    you mean by "debug the data while it is retrieved". If you need to…
  • Hi Preston,

    When working with DADE, all pipelines are generally internal and exist
    behind the scenes while creating dataviews in the data workspace. It is
    possible to link an ordinary datapipeline to a DADE dataview and vice …
  • Hi Preston,

    If you would like to limit the data printed out on the report, I would
    suggest using AutoSearch to alter the SQL. You can turn any search field in
    DADE into an AutoSearch field and allow your users to filter the d…
  • Hi Arturo,

    As I mentioned in my previous post, ReportBuilder does not directly
    communicate with your printer, it uses the Windows API to send your printer
    driver commands.

    ReportBuilder ==> Windows API ==> Pri…
  • Hi Arturo,

    Usually when the output to the screen differs from the output to paper it is
    due to some event code or other code in your app being executed during the
    report generation before it is printed. If you print directly …
  • Hi Arturo,

    Are you loading templates before you print this reports? Is the paper size
    showing up correctly on screen when you preview the report? Be sure you
    have your PaperName set to Custom in order to print on a special p…

  • Hi,

    If this is a static height label then you should be able to determine how
    many labels can fit in one column as well as one page. Knowing these values
    you can use the PageLimit and DetailBand.PrintCount properties to defin…
  • Hi Ronhald,

    This sounds more like a Delphi question than a ReportBuilder question. I
    would suggest posting this in the appropriate Borland newsgroup for a
    quicker response.

  • Hi,

    Please read the page in the RBuilder.hlp file under the ReportBuilder
    Reference | TeeChart | Delphi 7... section. This will give you a list of
    features and limitations for each TeeChart version. In your case, TeeChart
  • Hi Fredrik,

    Yes this will make things a bit more difficult. Unfortunately we do not
    know of any third party suites that offer a wrapper around the TJvRichEdit
    component for ReportBuilder.

  • Hi Fredrik,

    The RichText wrapper in ReportBuilder was designed to be a wrapper around
    any "well designed" TRichEdit descendent. We have not tried this but if the
    TJvRichEdit component descends from the TRichEdit component in …
  • Hi Will,

    Thank you for the information. We will research this and look into fixing
    it for the next release.

  • Hi Amber,

    Although we are not experienced with the translation applications currently
    out there (perhaps another customer will chime in with their advise) it
    should be rather easy to incorporate one into your existing app usin…
