  • Thanks for the feedback. We will consider this for a later release of
    ReportBuilder.

  • Carlos,

    The TppDBTeeChart is only designed to use the DataPipeline datasource to
    retrieve data. If you would like to use TeeChart with other external
    datasources, you will need to create the TeeChart outside ReportBuilder on …
  • Hi Carlos,

    This does not refer to a ReportBuilder CrossTab component. I believe when a
    DBTChart (in Delphi) has its datasource set to CrossTab, it is meant to be
    connected to the TDBCrossTabSource component available in the T…
  • Hi Karen,

    I'm unable to recreate this issue on my machine.

    Please send a minimal example in .zip format to
    support@digital-metaphors.com and I will test it with the latest version of
    ReportBuilder.

  • Hi Karen,

    What type of subreport are you using? Are you able to recreate this
    behavior with a simple example? If so, please send the example in .zip
    format to support@digital-metaphors.com and I will test it with the latest …
  • Hi Jack,

    If you open the ppSMTPIndy.pas file you will see where the TIdSMTP object is
    created and initialized. You can either alter this file to use the proper
    IOHandler or create and register your own separate plugin to use …
  • Hi Russel,

    Sorry, I was not very clear. The TRichView wrapper for ReportBuilder allows
    you to do just that. Below is a better link.

  • Hi Russell,

    Take a look at the TRichView add-on component. This adds the ability to
    display, edit, and print hypertext documents.

  • Hi Willo,

    We primarily use Vista as our operating system and have not seen this error
    before. Are you able to recreate this issue on any other machines? Have
    the user try to print to a different printer and see if the error …
  • Hi Deck,

    You could possibly use the OnGetText event of the text object to alter its
    format (blue color, and underlined) to give the link a hypertext look.

  • Hi Tom,

    It seems the band events all fire too late to actually add a report
    component to the report in code. In my quick testing, it seemed to work
    using the Report.BeforePrint event. Below is the code I used...

    p…
  • Hi Tom,

    Taking a look at your code, it does not look like you are actually adding
    the link label to the report. To do this you need to assign it's Band
    property.

    lLabel := TppLabel.Create(Self);
    lLabel.Ban…
  • Hi Mark,

    Thanks for the feedback. The protected routines you mention will be made
    virtual for the next release of ReportBuilder. We will also research
    allowing the replacement of the screen device without also replacing the …
  • Hi Nick,

    There is now a patch available that solves this problem. Send a short email
    to support@digital-metaphors.com requesting the patch and we'll get it to
    you as soon as possible.

  • Hi Nicoletta,

    When using variables to calculate values, you should always use the OnCalc
    event to do so. If you need to only calculate the value at the end of the
    report, you can adjust the timing of the calculation using the…
  • Hi Rich,

    In order to build versions of TeeChart packages greater than 7.0 you need
    Update 3 for Delphi 6 to be installed. In our experience, some
    instabilities have surfaces with this update installed so it is not
    recom…
  • Hi Eddy,

    My first suggestion would be to update your version of ReportBuilder to the
    latest RB 9 release (9.03). For update instructions, send an email to
    info@digital-metaphors.com with your serial number and purchasing emai…
  • Hi Eddy,

    In my quick testing nested groups did reset the page number with a system
    variable. Are you sure you have your second group set to start a new page
    and reset the page number? If you would like to take complete contr…
  • Hi Eddy,

    Are you trying to display the PageNo and PageCount properties to manually
    display the page number and count? I would recommend placing a
    TppSystemVariable in your footer band set to PageSetDesc and see if that

  • Hi,

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

    ReportBuilder includes a RichText component. It is possible to save a word
    document to .rtf format and then load and view it in …
  • Hi Martin,

    Unfortunately I am unable to create examples for older versions of
    ReportBuilder. Try deleting the .res file so Delphi creates a new one,
    ignore any properties that do not exist, and comment out the
    MainFormO…
  • Hi Philip,

    Take a look at the following example. A DBTeeChart in a report will
    automatically traverse the entire dataset you give it. If you need to limit
    the data traversed it's best to create a master detail relationship w…
  • Hi Bob,

    Your best bet in the case below would be to create a Master-Detail report
    linking on a common field between the two datasets (such as SSNumber or
    Name). You need to be sure the detail dataset is ordered on the linking…
  • > So as a Delphi developer, I should read the developer guide?
    Yes.

    If you use the Developer's Guide installed with ReportBuilder you will have
    the latest version. We constantly update the developer's guide.


  • Hi Alan,

    I think you may be using the LearnRB PDF document. For an installed version
    of ReportBuilder, you need to use the full Developer's Guide located in the
    \RBuilder\Developer's Guide\... directory. This was installed t…
  • Hi Alan,

    I took a look at the "A Quick Test Spin" tutorial. I'm a bit confused about
    what you mean by the "Data Settings", this tutorial does not use DADE. The
    tutorial asks you to create a new application, place a TTable on…
  • Hi Alan,

    The tutorials and demos included with ReportBuilder all use the DBDEMOS
    database that is included with Delphi. In most cases, it should connect
    automatically however the database files are located in the
    \Progr…
  • Hi Tony,

    We do not know of any components that allow the embedding of Word documents
    in a report. Perhaps someone with similar experience will chime in.

    One option would be to find a way to export a Word doc or RTF to a …
