http://www.digital-metaphors.comHi,
Instead of using a TppSystemVariable, try placing a TppVariable where you
would like the page number to be. Then set the value of the variable based
on the Report.PageNo value. For instance, if you wanted your report to …Hi Roberto,
You could check the datapipeline or dataset before calling Report.Print to
see if there is any data available. If not, then simply do not call
Report.Print and display a message.

I'm also a bit confused about what you are ultimately trying to do. Perhaps

would like to see happen. During the report generation, the ac…Hi Nicola,
No, using the printer canvas will always return printer pixels. You can use
the utility functions provided in ppUtils.pas to convert these values to
other units.

The example is correct however it calculates based on a screen pixel based
canvas. This measurement when translated to the printer canvas will loose
much of its accuracy. (printers usually print with 600 dots per …Hi Keith,

Unfortunately your approach is not easily achieved with ReportBuilder.
