  • Does the error only occur when running from within the IDE or does it occur
    when running directly from an exe as well?


    Originally you mentioned that you were receiving an "unknown error". Have
    you always been getting bo…
  • Hi Jaime,

    We have not seen this error before. Does this occur on every machine you
    run the app on? Have you tried the included email demo (110) located in the
    \RBuilder\Demos\1. Reports\... directory?

    You may have…
  • Hi Jaime,

    This is not a known issue. Which version of Outlook are you using? Is
    Outlook running when you are trying to send the email? Which operating
    system are you using?

  • Hi Robert,

    you.

  • Hi David,

    Welcome to the ReportBuilder community!

    From your description, I can see that the event code is most likely causing
    the issue here. Removing some or all of it may solve the problem.

    1. Have you trie…
  • Hi Ricardo,

    I'm a bit unclear about what you what to see happen. When a TeeChart is
    placed on a report, the image of the generated chart is shown on the preview
    display/printed paper. From the preview, you can zoom the entir…
  • Hi Mojoala,

    This depends on the component you are creating. For instance, creating a
    TppLabel in code, will not automatically add a default caption to the
    component. Take a look at the constructor of the component you are cr…
  • Hi John,

    The ReportBuilder data workspace (DADE) uses the TdanxDataSet descendent
    located in the daNexusDB.pas plugin to retrieve the fields available for
    each table. You might try tracing into the GetFieldsForSQL or
    Ge…
  • Hi Roman,

    The built-in print dialog does only allow a maximum of 999 copies. To work
    around this issue you could create your own custom print dialog that
    increases the value limit on the edit box. The PrinterSetup.Copies pro…
  • Hi Ricardo,

    When ReportBuilder prints a report, it uses the paper size assigned and it
    is up to the printer to take this information and print the report with that
    setting. It seems that the printer driver your user is using …
  • Hi John,

    There is a patch available for RB 11.08 that addresses this issue. The
    patch however will only work with the latest version of ReportBuilder as we
    are unable to fix the issue for earlier versions of ReportBuilder.
  • Hi Adam,

    1. Any printer used as the default should be fine.

    2. We use the Microsoft XPS Document Writer as our default printer very
    frequently without issues.

  • Hi Adam,

    This is not a known issue.

    There are no specific configurations required to export to an Archive file.
    The Archive device simply saves the TppPage objects in binary to a file.
    These TppPage objects are crea…
  • Hi Bill,

    Sorry, the Printer property is a TObject type (most likely to avoid circular
    references). Your code would look something like the following...

    uses
    ppPrintr;


    lsPrinterName :=
    TppPri…
  • Hi Bill,

    Try accessing the PrintDialog.Printer.PrinterSetup property. This is what
    gets assigned to the report after the print dialog closes.

  • Hi Andrew,

    We do not have any experience with the PSoft component, however if you can
    find a Delphi component that produces a Datamatrix barcode as an image
    (ideally a Metafile), it would be fairly simple to place the generate…
  • Hi Andrew,

    Setting the IniStorageType to Registry should store the settings the same as
    if they were stored to file. In my quick testing, the toolbar locations
    were properly restored with the IniStorageType property set to Re…
  • Hi Andrew,

    For future reference, please post with your real name (not "Digital
    Metaphors").

    Any changes made in the designer are saved in the RBuilder.ini file. This
    file is defined in the TppDesigner.IniStorageNam…
  • Hi Dusten,

    Ok, finally got this working on my machine.

    The key is having the correct OpenSSL DLL libraries installed on your
    machine. You can download the latest from the following website...

  • Hi Dusten,

    Use the IndySMTP public property of the Indy plugins to gain access to the
    TIdSMTP object used. You can change the port used in code with something
    similar to the following.

    var
    lEmail: TppEmail;<…
  • Hi Qhr,

    Take a look at demo 127 located in the \Demos\2. Crosstabs\... directory for
    an example of how to customize the output values inside the crosstab itself.
    Also take a look at the help topic for the TppElement class. Th…

  • Hi Stephen,

    Is this the only report with this problem? If so, have your user try to
    determine how this report is different from others that function correctly.

    I also highly recommend upgrading your version of ReportBuil…
  • Hi Richard,

    Take a look at the following article on loading templates saved with the
    Report Explorer.

  • Hi Sven,

    If you look at the CreationDate routine inside the ppPDFInfo.pas file, you
    will see that it simply makes a call to the Delphi Now() routine (which in
    turn calls the Windows API function GetLocalTime). Are you perhaps…

  • Hello,

    For future reference, please post a message when asking a question and post
    using your real name. "qhr" is not a sufficient posting name.

    in Using Totals from Subreports in Main Reports Comment by nicocizik April 2010
  • Hello,

    Please see my previous post to your question. You need to be sure you use a
    two pass report. You can also try using the Report.CachePages property.
