  • Hello,

    For future reference, please use your real name when posting to these
    newsgroups.

    Versions of ReportBuilder 9 or later include an Angle property to all
    non-wrapping text objects. This would allow you to rota…
  • Hi Laura,

    Thanks for the description however I'm still unable to recreate this on my
    machine. When you mention "subgroups" do you mean groups inside each
    subreport? If possible, please construct a simple example I can run on…
  • Hi Laura,

    In my quick testing with a report and a single group set to start a new
    page, turning the page nodes off and the report and group node on seemed to
    give a correct output of one entry for each group. How many groups …
  • Hi,

    This is not a known issue with RB 9.02. Have you tried setting the
    DirectDraw property to True? Are you stretching the image? If so, not that
    ReportBuilder was not designed to manipulate images. If you need to stretch …
  • Hi Bradley,

    Which version of ReportBuilder are you using? As a test, try setting the
    DirectDraw property of the image to True and see if the quality improves.

  • Hi Gianmario,

    In this case you will want to combine all you reports into a single report
    using Section style subreports. These reports can be created dynamically
    and report templates can be loaded into them manually in code b…
  • Hi Gianmario,

    I'm sorry but I still do not understand exactly what you are trying to
    accomplish. When you say "sequential page numbering" do you mean you would
    like the page numbering to continue from one report to the next?<…
  • Hi Gianmario,

    In this case you will want to leave the ResetPageNo of each subreport as
    True. This will keep the original page numbering from the original reports.

  • Hi Gianmario,

    Try combining both reports into a single report containing two section style
    subreports.

    First create an empty report with only a detail band. Next add two
    subreports to the detail band and set their …
  • Hi Rob,

    My first guess would be that the label you are creating is too big to fit
    into the header band and therefore causing the report engine problems. As a
    test, try commenting out the Watermark code below and see if that i…
  • Hi Bernhard,

    ReportBuilder tries to place the RBuilder.ini file into the
    \Windows\System32\... directory of the host machine. If this directory is
    blocked due to security, you have the option to store all default designer
  • Hi Dietmar,

    Sorry about the delay, I somehow lost track of your post.

    As a test try downloading a trial copy of RB 10.05 and see if the issue
    still exists. We made some changes to the for inheritance logic for RB 10.
  • Hi Semone,

    If you have ReportBuilder Enterprise or higher, the Calc and Data tabs
    should show up automatically at design time. Check your Installed
    Components in Delphi by selecting the Component | Install Packages... option …
  • Hi,

    For future reference, please use your real name when posting to these
    newsgroups.

    You need to add raIDE and daIDE to add the RAP and DADE tabs to the designer
    respectively.

  • Hi Misha,

    Sorry, I misread your post.

    In my quick testing with RB 10.05 and Delphi 2006, the rbCT1010.dcp package
    compiled correctly with the .dcu files included with the installation. I'm
    unsure why yours is not c…
  • Hi Misha,

    ReportBuilder 10.05 for Delphi 2006 uses the new TeeChartBuilder application
    when installing RB on your system. This app, automatically builds all the
    RB/TeeChart packages during the install process so the problem y…
  • Hi Misha,

    Sorry, for the delay.

    Since we do not provide the source code to RAP, you will need to compile
    with the runtime dcp's when including RAP in your package. The
    rbRAP1010.dcp is located in the \RBuilder\Lib\…
  • Hi Misha,

    Try changing your C:\Program Files\Borland\BDS\4.0\RBuilder\Lib entry to
    C:\Program Files\Borland\BDS\4.0\RBuilder\Source and see if that fixes the
    issue.

  • Hi Misha,

    Check your library path to be sure you are not building with an old runtime
    package. You might search your hard drive for other copies of the package
    that is giving you issues and replace it with your newly rebuilt …
  • Hi Erich,

    I am unfortunately not very familiar with Apollo however looking at the
    following page on their web site...

  • Hi Dietmar,

    At the current time, it is not our intention to give access to search the
    examples stored in the \Tips directory. The reason for this is that many of
    these examples were created for a very specific purpose and are…
  • Hi Fillipe,

    I would first recommend upgrading your version of ReportBuilder to RB 10.05.
    Then be sure you are using the latest version of TeeChart avaiable and test
    with that. For upgrade instructions, please contact
    in…
  • Hi Jarek,

    Depending on when you have access to the calculation values, you should be
    able to manually insert values into the series of a TeeChart before it is
    generated in a report, therefore giving you the chart you need. Yo…
  • Hi Carlos,

    What specific error are you receiving? If you change your library path to
    \RBuilder\Source\... are you able to trace into the RB source where the
    error is occuring? Where are you setting this property? Are you ce…
  • Hi Nicolas,

    Try placing the dll file inside the application directory. This should also
    allow you to use different language resources at runtime from a deployed
    app.

  • Hi Nicolas,

    You can adjust the language used in RB using the Report.Language property at
    runtime. In order for this to function correctly when you deploy your
    application, you will need to include the proper language .dll fil…
  • Hi,

    One option would be to create a custom RichText Editor that is identical to
    the existing one only the position and size are altered. This would be a
    fairly simple process following the steps outlined in the article below.…
  • Hi Pete,

    Try placing a PageBreak component above the subreport and set the subreport
    to ShiftRelativeTo the PageBreak. This should break a new page just before
    the subreport is printed.

  • Hi Peter,

    The FAvailableTables field keeps track of all the tables available to the
    user from the database connection. The FAvailableSelectTables keeps track
    of the available tables left to select (for instance if the user ha…
  • Hi Peter,

    ReportBuilder uses the built-in Delphi graphics library to process images.
    One option might be to convert your document to EMF format rather than WMF.
    Another would be to try using a more advanced graphics library li…
