  • Hi Louis,

    RB 18.0 is not compatible with Rad Studio 10.2 Tokyo.

    We are currently working on creating a new release that will support
    this version of Delphi. Expect it soon.

    Thanks for you patience.

  • Hi Michael,

    ReportBuilder 10.02 was released over 11 years ago and is extremely out
    of date. I suggest downloading a trial copy of the latest version of
    ReportBuilder (RB 18.01 for D7) and testing your report with that.

  • Hi Michael,

    Which version of ReportBuilder and Delphi are you using? Also which DB
    and connectivity are you currently using?

    As a test, if you remove the region, do you still get the same behavior?

    QueryInterface is overridden by our TppCommunicator class from the
    TComponent.QueryInterface routine. It simply returns a reference to a

    Interesting, thanks for sharing your test cases.

  • Hi Ian,

    We have not seen this behavior before.

    My first suggestion is to try setting PreviewFormSettings.SinglePageOnly
    to True and see if you still get the error.

    Another option would be to try closing or disc…

  • Hi Garry,

    The best option in your case would be to create an empty main report
    with two section subreports in the detail. The first containing your
    main report and the second your summary. Then setting the PrinterSetup

    See the following article on how to convert templates from one
    connectivity to another. The article shows BDE to ADO but the same
    concepts apply.

  • Hi Bernd,

    You are correct, in order to preview/print reports from an FMX platform,
    a VCL REST server is required to perform report generation, etc.

    This solution was mainly designed with mobile platforms in mind to give <…

    Thanks for your interest in ReportBuilder for FMX!

    The latest version of ReportBuilder includes our REST reporting services

    The report will automatically be attached to the sent email, there is no
    need to use the file name option unless your users would like to
    customize the name of the exported report.

    Try setting the Report.EmailSettings.PreviewInEmailClient property to
    False. When this is True, ReportBuilder assumes you would like to
    preview/edit the email before it is sent.

  • Hi Dennis,

    Take a look at the TppReport.OnCancel event.

    This event fires when a user cancels the generation of a report.

  • Hi Josef,

    We have not heard of this error with ReportBuilder before. It is my
    understanding that this is a C++ error given when an exception is not
    handled properly by the C++ exception handlers. See here:

    Yes, it appears the OnNoData fires too late to actually alter the report
    output. Try checking for and empty dataset in the BeforePrint event
    instead.

  • Hi Josef,

    1. When accessing the main report from a subreport, you will want to use
    the Report.ParentReport property. Once you load your header report into
    a subreport it becomes a TppChildReport.
