  • Hi Steve,

    Unfortunately this cannot be disabled when using Simple MAPI (the built-in
    MAPI plugin). This is Microsoft's solution to keeping external applications
    from taking control of your machine and spamming other machines …
  • Hi Nenad,

    Please change the 'From' field of your newsreader to display your name.

    Since you already have and use Gnostice components, I would suggest
    contacting their support for some ideas on how to edit exported RTF fil…
  • Yes, we have an Indy plugin for RB which should be used rather than the
    default MAPI one. (ppSMTPIndy10.pas).

    in SendMail: MAPI Comment by nicocizik July 2009
  • Hi Peter,

    Indy and MAPI are completely different approaches to sending email. Indy is
    a Delphi library that allows you to directly connect to your SMTP server and
    send email. MAPI is a Microsoft protocol that allows you to t…
  • Hi Peter,

    This is not a known issue and I was unable to find any information on the
    internet about something similar. It seems like this may be some sort of
    security setting that is causing the problem. The MAPI plugin is si…
  • Hi Peter,

    My first suggestion would be to begin simplifying the complex scenario to
    try to isolate the issue. Are you defining a username and password? If so,
    try removing these property values. Are you certain this is bein…
  • This issue is being handled via email. I will post our findings/solution
    when the problem is resolved.

  • Hi Tim,

    Which version of ReportBuilder and Delphi are you using? Are you loosing
    characters when directly printing to the Xerox printer? Does this happen
    with all DBText components or only certain ones?

  • Hi Bas,

    The Data Dictionary does not actually create the datapipelines for you, it
    simply controls how the database components, joins, etc. are shown in the
    data workspace (DADE) and designer. Now that you have the dictionary…
  • Great! glad you got it sorted.

  • Hi Sandra,

    For future reference, please use your name in the 'from' field when posting
    to these newsgroups.

    This is not a known issue for RB 10.09.
    At what point in the code below does the AV occur? If you set your …
  • Hi Carlos,

    No need, the page object will take care of freeing the drawcommand when it
    is destroyed.

    in Minimum detail height? Comment by nicocizik July 2009
  • Hi Carlos,

    One option is to create the grid behind the subreport using the PageStyle
    band. This way it will always print as-is regardless how much data is
    displayed.

    Otherwise you will need to manually create the d…
  • Hi Santy,

    ReportBuilder currently cannot automatically determine which image format is
    being loaded via DBImage automatically. This is a feature we are strongly
    considering for the next major release of ReportBuilder.
  • Hi Richard,

    It is not currently possible to zoom in the designer. This is a feature
    that we are considering for a later release.

    in Zoom In Design Tab Comment by nicocizik July 2009
  • Hi Chris,

    Which event are you attempting to move the position of the other objects?
    Try using the Band.BeforePrint event to determine the size of the image and
    then reassign the position of the other components. If you are wa…
  • Hi Bas,

    ReportBuilder does not offer a feature exactly the way you describe however
    it is possible to get something close.

    One option would be to let your users design their own headers and footers
    as a separate rep…
  • Hi Bas,

    Although ReportBuilder does support limited form inheritance, the easiest
    way to go about this is to create and save a "starter" template that is
    loaded into the report object before the designer is opened. This way e…
  • Hi Peter,

    During installation of ReportBuilder you need to select all languages you
    would like installed. Then on your user's machine you need to be sure all
    the proper .dll files are located in their \WINSYS\... directory so…
  • Hi Peter,

    Yes, take a look at the language section of the Developer's Guide on how to
    install and deploy separate languages. There is also good information in
    the ReadMe.doc file located in the \RBuilder\Languages\... directo…
  • Hi Bas,

    The Designer is not currently designed to give access to the group object
    itself. This is something we would like to add for a later release of
    ReportBuilder. One option would be to create your groups in code using a…
  • Hi Bill,

    To access the RBWiki you need to be able to access port 8080. Check your
    firewall to be sure this is possible.

    You need to add daIDE to your uses clause to register DADE.

  • Hi Leon,

    The RB 11.05 installer attempts to find out if IBExpress is installed on
    your machine. This package reference may have been left over from a
    previous RB installation so deleting it will solve the issue.

  • Hi Tom,

    I'm having trouble recreating this issue on my machine. Are you able to see
    the problem using one of our demos or with a simple example? If so, let me
    know how I can recreate it or send a simple example in .zip forma…
  • Hi Francisco,

    If you are editing the SQL in DADE, there is no need to define each value.
    DADE will construct the expression itself based on how many values are
    present in the parameter.

  • Hi Francisco,

    When using between parameters you can use two parameters like you have below
    or you can use a single autosearch parameter with a search expression
    separated by a comma (defining each value). Then you can access …
  • Hi Joe,

    It is possible to create a completely custom previewer and use that with
    ReportBuilder. Take a look at the following group of articles on how this
    can be done...

  • Hi Joe,

    Please send an example I can run on my machine along with the exact steps I
    need to take to recreate it in .zip format to support@digital-metaphors.com
    and I'll take a look at it for you.

  • Hi Joe,

    I am unable to recreate this issue on my machine. Are you able to see the
    AV when using a simple application (Report and button on a form)? Are you
    using RB 11.03 Build 3?

  • Hi Richard,

    Does the demos work correctly for you? My recomendation would be to access
    the autosearch fields directly (like in the demo) using the
    Report.AutoSearchField[] property or using the AutoSearchFieldByName
