  • Luk,

    Chris is right, you need to add ppASField to your 'uses' clause and the
    error will be resolved.

  • Joe,

    ReportBuilder 7.02 currently supports TeeChart 6.00, 5.03, and 4.03. For
    more information on TeeChart support for Delphi 7, check out the
    ReportBuilder help under the ReportBuilder Reference | TeeChart | Delphi

  • Luk,

    If you created a TppCustomAutoSearchDialog descendant then you need to
    implement these methods or you will receive an abstract error. Check out
    ppASDlg.pas for an example of implementing the abstract methods.

  • Maurizio,

    We are unable to reproduce the problem. Please tell us how to reproduce
    this problem using step-by-step instructions.

  • Maurizio,

    Try testing with ReportBuilder 7.02 Trial edition. If this does not help,
    please provide the necessary steps to recreate this error on another
    computer and we'll take a look.

  • Hi Alex,

    Your best option here is to try to cut and paste the report components from
    the region. If you are unable to move the components from the region, this
    may be the only way to delete the region without loosing your compo…
  • Moorthy,

    Make sure you are using the same printer driver on both machines. Can you
    reproduce the problem with our demos? Try testing with ReportBuilder 7.02
    Trial and see if that helps.

  • Hi Vladimir,

    The ReportBuilder Query Designer does not support the "having" clause. If
    you would like to use it, you will have to edit the SQL manually. Remember
    that once you edit the SQL manually, you will loose the function…
  • Hello Sorin,

    If the ppMemo resides in the report on the delphi form, you can use an event
    handler to assign lines to it. If you are loading a template to the report
    object, you will need to use RAP to update the ppMemo componen…

  • Alan,

    If you have access to Delphi 5 or above, try testing with ReportBuilder 7.02
    Trial Edition and see if the issue is resolved. I was unable to recreate
    the issue on my computer using RB 7.02 with Delphi 7. Feel free to sen…

  • Janusz,

    Check out the CrossTab demo 127 in the \RBuilder\Demos\2. CrossTabs\...
    directory. This demo (ct0127.pas) shows how to add custom lables to a
    CrossTab.

  • Morten,

    Though the printers and reports are the same, the printer drivers are
    different in Windows 98 vs. 2000. Find out the margin settings for the
    printer
    running in Windows 98 and increase the margins in your report acc…
  • Joe,

    I'm a little confused about what you are trying to accomplish. The header
    band will always print at the top of a new page. Please provide more
    information on what you are trying to do. You might try creating a group

  • Jennifer,

    I tested using a Windows 98 machine with ReportBuilder 7.02 and it seemed to
    work correctly. You might try swapping the carriage return and line feed
    characters so that it reads #13#10. You want to perform a carriage…
  • Nicolas,

    Send an example demonstrating the problem perhaps using one of our CrossTab
    demos located in the \RBuilder\Demos\2. CrossTabs ... directory.

  • Hi Nicolas,

    We have had no known issues like the one you are experiencing. Please send
    a small running example demonstrating the problem to
    support@digital-metaphors.com and we'll take a look.

  • Check out the "Contolling End-User Environment" post in the Tech Tips news
    group. This explains how to use an existing connection.

  • Hi Knut,

    Perhaps your .dll archetecture is modeled differently than our engine was
    designed to support. ReportBuilder 7 is fully thread safe. If you are
    starting work on a multithreaded appliction you might consider upgrading …
  • Hi Sham,

    Try using a report object loop instead of the ObjectByName method. Check
    out the "Loop Through All Objects" post in the Tech Tips | Codebased
    newsgroup.

  • Andy,

    Check out Demo 33 at \RBuilder\Demos\1. Reports\dm0033.pas. This demo shows
    how do perform an address merge in code. You may also merge one line using
    a TppVariable and data directly from the pipeline as Chris explained.…
  • Mark,

    To combine these reports into one file, you will need to load each report
    into a subreport residing in a main report object and then generate them to
    memory and reorder the pages. Below is a link to an example that create…
  • Chang,

    Manipulating a large number of components in the same selection may slow the
    performance of ReportBuilder.

    --
  • Chang,

    This issue has not yet been addressed, however usually the only time the
    performance of ReportBulder is compromised due to a copy/paste operation is
    when a large number of components is used.

  • Hi Laurent,

    To save resources, try loading the images at runtime during report
    generation as you need them instead of all at once. This can be done using
    a JITPipeline in the OnGetFieldAsPicture Event using a list of the filena…
  • Sham,

    TppSubReport is a descendent of the TppComponent class and was created so
    you can place a subreport component inside an existing report.
    TppChildReport is a descendent of TppCustomReport and is contained inside
    the Tp…
  • Irek,

    Try loading the subreports dynamically instead of using inheritence. This
    way you can take the class hierarchy out of report generation and load the
    reports directly. For example you will create a single template which w…
  • Edifser,

    I was unable to recreate the issue you are having on my computer. Please
    send a small working example in .zip format to support@digital-metaphors.com
    and we'll take a look.
