Hi Fabio,
If you would like ReportBuilder to make all page measurements and
calculations prior to viewing the first page (although this is most likely
not what is causing your pages to load slowly), try setting the
Repor… -
Hi Jonas,
Unfortunately the DBCalc component is fairly limited in its functionality.
If you would like to customize how you make calculations on your report
data, I suggest using TppVariables. For instance, if you wanted to m… -
Hi Mark,
Yes, it is fairly easy to replace the existing AutoSearch form with your own
custom ones. Take a look at the autosearch example located in the
\RBuilder\Demos\5. AutoSearch\4. Custom AutoSearch Dialog\... directory. … -
Hi Steffen,
All of these newer chart options require that you add another TeeChart unit
to your uses clause at runtime. For example, adding "TeeSurfa" adds the 3D
tab and "TeeDonut" adds the donut chart to the Extended tab. … -
Hi Steffen,
The TeeChart editor in ReportBuilder is simply a wrapper around the original
TeeChart editor... there should be no difference between the one used in RB
and the one used in a Delphi app. Which version of ReportBui… -
Hi,
Since RAP does not support Set types, we added properties to allow you to
set these values. See the RAP FAQ in the RAP Reference for more

Hi Steffen,
The TeeChart component in ReportBuilder is simply a wrapper around the

Hi Michael,
You can use JPEG images with the DBImage component if you set the
DBImage.GraphicType to "JPEG" and add ppJPEG to your uses clause.

Hi Mark,
Do you still have a DataDictionary component present in your application?
If so, try removing it and see if that helps. If not, there may be a
dataview defined in DADE looking for the R_Properties table which apparen… -
Hi Anjita,
Take a look at the following example of launching the report wizard
indipendent of the report designer. Though this example uses the
datapipelines present on the form, you will simply need to connect up the

Hi Mark,
The Custom Autosearch Dialog example should give you a good idea how you
might approach the task of creating and registering a custom dialog. I'm a
bit unclear about what other "guidence" you would like in this proce… -
Hi Gilvan,
There were a few changes made to the TdaSQL object since RB 9.01. I would
recommend first upgrading to RB 9.02 and see if the problem still occurs.
If after you upgrade you are still experiencing the same behavior,… -
Hi Andrew,
This error indicates that you do not have the rbDBDE7x.bpl package installed
into your Delphi IDE. Check your installed packages (Component | Install
Packages option in the Delphi main menu) and be sure you have an… -
Hi Andrew,
Unfortunately the designer is the only form in ReportBuilder that is not
replaceable and has very limited customizability. It is not currently
possible to change the look and feel (i.e. icons and XP Themes) of the … -
Hi Alex,
The Title Band is a dynamic band that has the ability to stretch across
multiple pages. Be sure you have the PrintHeight property set to phDynamic.

Hi Lucy,
If you are trying to load an Archive file (.raf), you will need to use the
TppArchiveReader object rather than the TppReport object.

Using the autosearch simply changes the underlying SQL code to filter your
data. Once it is filtered, you are not able to access the rest of the data
to perfom calculations. One work-around may be to create an ide…Hi Mark,
Is this code in the OnCalc event? Be sure the CalcOrder property of
Variable 10 is set to a number before the other variables. Are you coding
these events in RAP? What error do you see when you try to preview…Hi Mark,
You will need to place another TppVariable inside the group footer (or where
every you would like the sum) and update its value inside the original
variable's OnCalc event.

This is not a known issue with ReportBuilder. If you create a minimal
application with a report and interbase connection are you still only seeing
one table? If this worked one week ago, there has to be something thatHi Mark,
You can set the TppVariable.ResetType property to veGroupStart or veGroupEnd
depending on when you would like the variable's value to reset.

Hi Bob,
I do not belive the XPManifest component is natively included with Delphi 6.
Is this an add-on? In my testing with Delphi 7 and the XPManifest

1. I strongly recommend upgrading to RB 9.02. This version contains the
needed events (OnBeforeOpenDataPipeline) and objects (TdaSQLBuilder) in
order to manually alter the AutoSearch criteria at runtime in RAP.
Lucy,
1. Autosearch has the capability to execute without showing the autosearch
form. If you would like to disable the edit boxes in the dialog, you will
need to create a custom autosearch dialog. It would be worth while t…Hi Nacho,

Code 128 is very limited in the width of each bar. You can try changing the
Wide Bar Ratio to shorten the bar width a little, but the adjustment will be
