    Occasionally, we have customers state that their reports are in …
  • Hi Mark,

    If you are trying to break a page to force a two page report, you can either
    use a Section Style Subreport or one of the methods described in the article
    below.

  • Hi Isaac,

    If you set the TppReport.DeviceType property to the specific device you
    would like to print to (i.e. TextFile), ReportBuilder will automatically
    print to that device, skipping the screen. Then if you don't want to e…
  • Hi,

    You can use the TeeSaveBoolOption to enable this option in the TeeChart
    editor. Below is an example.

  • Hi Ronadl,

    You can either use the Title band instead of the header band or toggle the
    visibility of the header band in the OnStartPage based on the
    Report.AbsolutePageNo.

  • Hi Mirto,

    I would recommend checking out Grid Pack (http://www.planit-tech.com). This
    add-on component set could be very helpful for your needs.

  • Hi Branden,

    There is a patch available for ReportBuilder 7.04 that solves this issue.
    If you would like this patch, please send a small email requesting it to
    support@digita-metaphors.com and we'll send it right out to you.
  • Hi Alessandro,

    If you are personally designing reports using these pipelines, you will need
    to set their Visibility to True in order to use them in the Report Designer.
    Setting them to False is to prevent the end-users from se…
  • Hi Alessandro,

    Try setting the Visibility property of the pipelines on your form to False.
    This will hide those specific pipelines inside the report designer for the
    end users.

  • Hi Branden,

    Sorry, but there is currently no support for the Having clause in
    ReportBuilder.

    You would have to manually edit the SQL.

  • Hello,

    See the following example on adding an outline to a TppViewer.
    Unfortunately Text Search requires that you use the TppPreview object.

  • Hi,

    The PickList property was mostly designed to be used with ReportBuilder
    Server Edition. This was to enable the Server to be able to send a list of
    valid parameter values to the client when needed, perhaps from a list
  • Hello,

    This is the extent of our examples using report parameters. What type of
    project are you working on? Is there a certain functionality of using
    TppParameters with RAP that you are unable to get working correctly? If s…
  • Hi Al,

    If you are trying to filter the data that is displayed on your report,
    check out the AutoSearch capability of ReportBuilder. AutoSearch can be
    enabled in the Data Workspace (DADE) or in code. See the AutoSearch demos…
  • Hi Scott,

    In this case, you will probably need to create a custom explorer dialog.
    This can be done fairly easily using the ReportBuilder class registration
    routines. See the tutorial located in the \RBuilder\Tutorials\Comple…
  • Hi Scott,

    By default, the explorer trys to open the ReportBuilder help, installed with
    RB. If you are installing this on an end-user's computer, you will need to
    take control of this option yourself in your merge menu. See t…
  • Hi Andy,

    Using RAP, you can access the Report.Parameters property which allows you to
    access values in your application as well as in the code module. See the
    TppParameter and TppParameterList topics in the ReportBuilder help…
  • Hi Grant,

    ReportBuilder will only traverse the data in the pipeline it is connected
    to. If you place a DBText inside the detail band connected to a different
    pipeline than the one connected to the report, it will not be trave…
  • Hi Keith,

    Which edition of RB 9 are you currently using? Does this problem occure at
    designtime and runtime? Which database are you connecting to? Is the
    dataset connected to you datapipeline unusually large? Let me know a…
  • Hi Keith,

    Thanks for the info, I will make the proper changes.

  • Hi Antony,

    Which third party utility are you using to export to Excel? It would be the
    job of that software to allow the exporting of dbMemo objects to an Excel
    file. I would suggest contacting the support department of the …
  • Hi Damir,

    Currently there is no support built-in to the Query tools for supporting
    views or stored procs.

    1. You may be able to modify the DADE Plug-in that you are using to get a
    list of available views included wi…
  • Hi Keith,

    By "scale correctly" do you mean the image is not the correct size, or not
    in the right position? In my testing, I was unable to reproduce this
    behavior. If possible, please send a simple .rtm with the image format…
  • Hi Wouter,

    If you are getting this error at runtime, this means you do not have the
    daDBISAM file included in your "uses" clause. If you are receiving this at
    design time, then the design time package has still not been prope…
  • Hi Wouter,

    In order to use DBISAM at design time, you will need to compile and install
    the rbisamXX.dpk package located in the \RBuilder\Demos\4. EndUser
    Databases\DBISAM\1. Native\.. directory. This will register the
    D…
  • Hi Alex,

    This is not a built in feature of the preview window, however it is possible
    to completely take control of the preview form by creating a custom preview
    plugin for this class. See the article below for more informati…
  • Hi Alex,

    Try setting the Report.PreviewFormSettings.ZoomPercentage property to a
    higher number, perhaps in the Report.BeforePrint event and see if that
    helps.

  • Hi Martin,

    This is not a known issue with ReportBuilder. Which version are you using?
    Are you able to recreate this behavior with a minimal report? If possible,
    please send a small example of this behavior in .zip format to …
  • Hi,

    ReportBuilder uses the printer device to calculate the position of each
    report component. This can cause a decrepency in the screen output from
    machine to machine depending on the video driver and the screen resolution. <…
