  • Ariel,

    At design time, you must change the layout manually to make the best use of
    the space the page size allows.

  • Rob,

    1. Take a look in ppFilDev for the TppFileDevice and TppArchiveDevice for
    examples of creating file devices. The ancestor file device has a file
    stream for example. You could create a file device that provides a memory
  • Steve,

    This is stored in the template file, not the .ini file. Try setting the
    Report.PrinterSetup.PaperName property to A4 either at design time or at run
    time and save the report template. This should keep your default paper…
  • Paul,

    You can use variables with the Report Explorer by putting the
    TppVariable.OnCalc events in the Explorer form unit. However the best way
    to use variables in an end-user application would be to use Report
    Application P…
  • Felix,

    Which version of Delphi are you using? Can you uninstall the RBTeeChart
    wrapper packages that RBuilder installed? Try reinstalling the correct
    TeeChart packages by following the Readme in the \RBuilder\TeeChart\

  • Woulter

    In RB 6.03 there was a notification error between internal objects. The
    only way to solve your issue would be to upgrade to ReportBuilder 7.02.

  • Wouter,

    This was a known bug in RB 6.03. It has been fixed in ReportBuilder 7.
    Please upgrade to ReportBuilder 7.02. You can order from our web page at

  • 1. The reason you are seeing the crosstab more than once is you have the
    report and the crosstab connected to the same datapipeline. Disconnect the
    report from the datapipeline and the problem should be fixed.

    2. Check out de…
  • Joanne,

    Try closing Delphi and deleting the .dof and .cfg files for your project,
    then relaunching the project.. If this does not help, try changing you
    default printer then relaunch Delphi to see if the driver is the cause of<…
  • Dietrich,

    You need to install the daIBExpress dade plugin package in Delphi.

  • Moorthy,

    Try setting the detail band to a static height and see if that changes
    anything. If this does not help, please send a simple example demonstrating
    the problem in .zip format to support@digital-metaphors.com and we'll t…
  • Alex,

    Sorry, but currently there is not way to generate an archive directly to
    memory. This capability is definitely on our list of enhancements for the
    future. If you would like to create your own device, look in ppFilDev.pas…
  • Sven,

    I tested the firing order for the GlobalOnCreate and the
    OnGetAutoSearchValues events from RAP with ReportBuilder 6.03, ReportBuilder
    7.01, and ReportBuilder 7.02. They all fired in the exact same order:
    OnGetAutoSea…
  • Tony,

    Check out the autosearch demo 1 in the \ RBuilder\Demos\5. AutoSearch\1.
    AutoSearch Field to SQL Params\ directory. This demo demonstrates how to
    set query parameters.

  • Maria,

    Keep in mind that any variable residing in a subreport will reset when the
    subreport ends. To keep track of a value in a main report comming from a
    subreport, create a variable in the subreport. Then use the
    TppVar…
  • Reid,

    Try using the Report.BeforPrint event to assign the Label.Caption to a
    string, and then if you want to change the label for each record use the
    Label.OnGetText event to assign values to them.

  • Paul,

    Try checking that the DataDictionary.BuilderSettings point to the correct
    database. Also check the three sets of pipeline and fieldname properties on
    the DataDictionary and make sure they are all set correctly.

  • Jos,

    1. Use a header band to print a header on each page.

    2. Use a group header to print another header below the standard header.
    In order to print group headers on every page, make the group based on a
    static cust…
  • Jos,

    A report is already one column by default. Please explain a little more
    about what you are trying to accomplish.

  • MacBar,

    Below is a link to download an example using a Custom Report Explorer
    instead of a normal one as an MDI child.

  • Felix,

    Thanks for reporting this. It has been fixed for the next release. If you
    view the description of the dclRBC75.dpl package, you will see that it says
    "ReportBuilder TeeChart 5.02 Components". This is just a naming erro…
  • Felix,

    Below is an article on installing the TeeChart Packages manually. All this
    text is also available in the RBuilder help under ReportBuilder Reference |
    TeeChart | Delphi 5.

  • Dirk,

    Try hooking a subreport to your datapipeline and letting that automatically
    traverse the data for you first to last. For a master-detail example check
    out Demo 61 at \RBuilder\Demos\1. Reports\dm0061.pas for an example th…

  • Pekka,

    It turns out that the F12 function to toggle between the code and form
    windows is much more difficult to implement than the other "shortcut"
    functions. In ReportBuilder 7, we did improve the minimizing capability by
  • Thanks for the suggestion. We'll put it on our to-do list.

    --
  • Pekka,

    When the ReportBuilder Designer is in focus, the complete Delphi IDE is
    taken over. Therefore all shortcut keys will not work. The easiest way to
    solve this is to just minimize the ReportBuilder window completely when i…
