  • Hi Madt,

    Try moving the \RBuilder\Lib entry of your library path up in the order
    (above any greyed out entries) and see if that helps the second problem.

    in ANN: ReportBuilder 10.07 Build 2 now available Comment by nicocizik October 2007
  • Hi John,

    ReportBuilder simply traverses your data start to finish and displays each
    record as it goes. If you take a look at your DBGrid, you should see the
    cursor moving from top to bottom as the report generates. Is there …
  • Hi Alex,

    ReportBuilder simply checks if the datapipeline connected to the report is
    EOF and BOF. If these properties are both true, the OnNoData event is
    fired. This tested correctly on my machine.. RB 10.07 Delphi 7.

  • Hi Andrew,

    Take a look at the custom component example located in the
    \RBuilder\Demos\RCL directory for an example of the new architecture changes
    with later versions of ReportBuilder. The popup menus and design controls

    in Report in A4 print in Letter, how I do this? Comment by nicocizik October 2007
  • Hi Fellipe,

    You should be able to use the anchor feature to ensure each report component
    stays a given distance away from the edge of the paper. For instance,
    setting the bottom anchor for components near the bottom of the re…
  • Hi Jason,

    For future reference, please use your real name (in the "from" field) when
    posting to these newsgroups.

    I'm a bit unclear about the issue. What exactly are you trying to
    accomplish? If you change the act…
  • Hi Eric,

    The new toolbars for RB 10.x are designed to mimic other similar XP toolbars
    such as the toolbars used for Outlook and the Delphi 2007 IDE. These
    toolbars do not have a concept of focus so there is no "default" butto…
  • Hi John,

    I created a virtual machine and installed the latest version of
    ReportBuilder and Thunderbird to test. I was then able to successfully send
    multiple emails from the preview window without getting an error. Are you <…
  • Hi John,

    One thing you might try is setting the TppEmailSettings.DeleteFile property
    to False. If the email client does not actually create a copy of the
    attachment before it is sent, the file could be getting deleted by
  • Hi John,

    I'm a bit unclear about the details of this issue. Is the PDF attachment to
    the email ever fully created? Does this issue occur when exporting without
    the email feature? Which email plugin are you using? Have you …
  • Hi Lars,

    What does your report consist of? Perhaps I can try to recreate this
    behavior on my machine. I did a quick search again through the PDF device
    code and still do not believe any temporary files are created during the…
  • Hi Lars,

    Which version of ReportBuilder are you using? In an earlier version of the
    PDF device (pre RB 10.x), each image was saved to a file before being
    written to the PDF file. This was to save memory however it caused pro…
  • Hi Ad,

    The example below is intended to be used with file devices only. If you
    need to merge multiple reports into a single report for previewing or
    printing, the easiest way is to use Section Style subreports in the detail <…
  • Hi Frank,

    Unfortunately there is no way to tell how many groups will be printed
    without doing some pre-processing of some sort. One option would be to
    create a summary query that returns a count of the grouping field,
    e…

  • Hi Vikram,

    This is not a ReportBuilder error message (which is why it is so difficult
    for us to track down without the ability to recreate it on our machines).
    Are you able to perhaps break when the error occurs and see where …
  • Hi Vikram,

    If you are still getting the problem with RB 10.07, please send a minimal
    example that demonstrates the issue (some of the time) in .zip format to
    support@digital-metaphors.com and I'll try to recreate it here on my…
  • Hi Vikram,

    1. Try updating to RB 10.07 and see if that helps the issue.

    2. Are you able to see the error if you remove all charts and images from
    your report(s)?

    3. What is the error you are receiving? "Not…
  • Hi Jeff,

    Does this occur on every report you run? Have you tried running this with a
    newer version of ReportBuilder? Have you tried running your memory manager
    software against your RB source directory? Numerous fixes have …
  • Hi Trevor,

    We have not seen this error before with RB 10.07 nor has it been reported by
    any other customers. Have you been able to recreate the error on multiple
    machines? Are you able to recreate it using the included demos…
  • Hi Trevor,

    This is not a known issue with ReportBuilder. Which version of RB and
    Delphi are you using? How large are the images you are trying to
    print/view? Are you able to single out certain reports that cause this
  • Hi,

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

    Yes, you can change the exported file type for an emailed report using the
    Report.EmailSettings.ReportFormat property or by selec…
  • Hi Ilse,

    Currently the built-in PDF device included with ReportBuilder converts
    advanced drawcommands such as barcodes and richtexts to bitmaps before
    exporting them to the PDF file. During this process, some fidelity can be …
  • Hi Sergey,

    Which version of ReportBuilder and Delphi are you using to build your
    application? Do you see the same behavior when printing to every printer or
    just a single one? Are you testing the same application on a Window…
  • Hi Scott,

    I'm a bit unclear about what you are trying to accomplish. Do you need to
    perhaps check in your users are adding a summary band to their reports and
    then show a different region if they are? If so, I would recommen…
  • Hi Luc,

    Sorry, I was not clear that it is not necessary to save a template to file.
    A template can be saved to a memory stream as well, then loaded into an
    object such as a TStringList. Something like the following...
  • Hi Luc,

    Templates can be saved and loaded as ASCII text with ReportBuilder, there is
    no need to convert them back and forth. Simply set the
    Report.Template.Format property to ftASCII and the template will be saved to
    te…
  • Hi Jim,

    1. Be sure you are using Section style subreports for the separate print
    jobs.

    2. The TppSubreport.NewPrintJob needs to be set to True. This can be
    accessed from the object inspector by selecting the subr…
