  • Yes, this issue will be fixed for the next release of ReportBuilder :).

  • Hi Carsten,

    Thanks for pointing this out. This issue will be fixed for the next
    release of ReportBuilder.

  • Hi Carsten,

    The "default" font when you place a new control on a report is
    determined in one of two ways.

    1. rbuilder.ini: The Report Designer checks the rbuilder.ini file for
    the last previously used font properti…
  • Hi David,

    Which version of ReportBuilder and Delphi are you using?

    Rather than using the Viewer page properties, try using
    TppReport.AbsolutePageNo and TppReport.AbsolutePageCount.

  • Hi Carsten,

    This is functioning as designed. The designer work space needs focus
    for any shortcut keys to function. This means that you need to click
    somewhere within the work space (band, component, etc.) in order to use
  • Hi Carsten,

    This sounds like a bug in RB 5.56 that was likely fixed in a later
    version (we do not keep records of fixes that far back
  • Hi Garry,

    The TppTeeChart component in ReportBuilder is simply a wrapper around an
    actual TChart in Delphi.

    Basically, if you are able to create and manipulate this chart in Delphi
    (without ReportBuilder) you should…
  • Hi Adam,

    We are not currently experienced any issues with sending or receiving
    emails. If possible, please try re-sending your message again with a
    different email server/address to see if they are getting through.

  • Hi Carsten,

    I am unclear what you mean by "printed once" and "printed as often as
    data is available". Are you referring to the detail band printing as it
    traverses data?

    If this is the case, you can simply disconne…
  • Hi Steve,

    This is not a known issue with RB 15.05. Does this occur for every
    printer or just certain printers?

    If possible, please create a simple example that demonstrates this
    problem and send it to me in .zip fo…
  • Hi Sergio,

    In order to export Unicode characters to PDF, you need to set the
    TppReport.PDFSettings.FontEncoding to feUnicode. This is a published
    property so it can be set in the object inspector or in code.

    When e…
  • Hi Chris,

    We have sent notification emails to all customers with an active
    ReportBuilder subscription.

    If you have an active subscription and did not receive a notification,
    please send an email to info@digital-meta…
  • Hi Roman,

    Which version of ReportBuilder are you using?

    1. Please upgrade to the latest version of RB in order to obtain all
    PDF/A related fixes.

    2. If you are still getting errors when validating, please creat…
  • Hi Ian,

    It is possible to move reports to different folders (via drag and drop)
    in the explorer, but copy/paste is not currently supported.

    If you need to make a copy of a report, the best way is to load the
    report …
  • Hi Stef,


    Support for Delphi Berlin began with RB 17.02.


    ReportBuilder 16.03 includes VCL support for Delphi XE8, XE7, XE6, XE5,
    XE4, XE3, XE2, XE, Delphi 2007, and Delphi 7.


    It is highly recom…
  • Hi Gianluca,

    Perhaps more information on exactly what you would like to accomplish
    will help us understand how to help.

    ReportBuilder generates your reports as it moves through your data. In
    order for RB to know a …
  • Hi Ian,

    Have you tried with the latest version of ReportBuilder? It's possible
    this was fixed for a later version.

  • Hi Ian,

    Are you using the built-in group email feature? If so, we have no
    currently known issues with this feature.

    I suggest downloading a trial copy of the latest version of
    ReportBuilder (RB 17.03) and testing w…
  • Hi Nick,

    Which version of ReportBuilder and Delphi are you using?

    Attachments are not permitted on these newsgroups. If you would like to
    send us a screenshot or example, please send it to
    support@digital-metaphors…
  • Hi Maruo,

    There is currently no built-in HTML control in ReportBuilder. My first
    suggestion was going to be to take a look at TRichView but it appears
    you have already done that in RB 17 support HTML memo ? Comment by nicocizik October 2016
  • Hi Stef,

    This is not a known issue. The logic to update the Delphi library path
    has been the same since we updated our installer for RB 11 (8 years ago).

    I'm guessing there is a special case where this occurs with your <…
  • Hi Scott,

    You are correct, for the reasons you have discovered, form inheritance
    and report templates (.rtm) do not function properly together. You will
    need to either use one or the other.

    One option is to use Sub…
  • Hi Scott,

    As a rule of thumb, calculations should only be performed in the
    TppVariable.OnCalc event. This is the only event that will fire once
    per detail.

    Events such as the DetailBeforePrint will fire multiple ti…
  • Hi Adam,

    The band background and borders utilize the CreateDrawCommand event to
    add the proper line or shape drawcommands to the page when the report is
    printed. This event however is not fired when no report components are <…
  • Hi Jens,

    In my quick testing with a simple console app and the task scheduler, I
    was unable to recreate this with RB 17.03, Delphi 10.1 Berlin, and
    Windows 10.

    1. Which version of ReportBuilder and Delphi are you us…
  • Hi Steve,

    This is possible in two ways. The first requires a bit of a design
    change to your report. The second generates all report pages to memory
    and inserts the "back" page manually.

    See the following article o…
  • Hi Steve,

    This is not an issue we have encountered before with any other RB users.

    Have you tried building your application as a 64 bit app?

    Does this happen for every network or local printer installed?

  • Hi Steve,

    A quick search on Google reveals that this is likely a network printer
    issue.

    Most solutions involve being sure to upgrade to the latest version of
    the printer driver available and/or reinstalling the netw…
  • Hi Scott,

    I believe your best option would be to use a (ex. single-row) table grid
    with DBText components in each cell inside the detail band of a
    report/subreport. This way the grid will grow as the report traverses
    th…
  • Hi Carsten,

    Have you tried using the summary band to print at the end of the last
    page rather than the group footer?

    Please create a simple example that we can run here demonstrating this
    behavior and send it to sup…
