  • Hi John,

    Which version of RB 9 are you using (9.02, 9.03, etc...)? If you have not
    already, please update your version to RB 9.03 and test with that. For more
    information on updating, please contact info@digital-metaphors.co…
  • Hi Massimiliano,

    What error are you receiving? Do you have Graphics added to your uses
    clause. You first need to select the text that you would like to change.
    For instance, you could use the SelStart and SelLength to define…
  • Hi Massimiliano,

    Take a look at the TextAttributes property of the RichText component. Try
    adjusting these attributes before the component is printed.

    Also, you could also try placing two components (DBRichText and DBTex…
  • Hi Jamie,

    Yes, using the method I described below essentially cuts off the generation
    of the report preventing the summary band from ever getting created. You
    could try using a group footer or footer band in its place.
    <…
  • Hi Jamie,

    The best way to accomplish something like this would be to alter your
    dataset to only return ten records. This keeps things clean and simple
    inside the report.

    You can also try setting the PrintCount prop…
  • Hi Jack,

    ReportBuilder is compatable with all TDataset descendents. If you would
    like to simply connect your interbase dataset to a report, you just need to
    place an IBO table or query, TDataSource object connected to that da…

  • Hi Stuart,

    For future reference, please send all attachments to
    support@digital-metaphors.com.

    We have not seen this behavior before. Which version of Delphi are you
    using? I would first suggest updating your vers…
  • Hi Larry,

    ReportBuilder uses the RBuilder.ini file to determine what the default
    settings are inside the designer. You will see in the [Format] section
    where all the font settings are defined. This file is located in the
  • Hi Stuart,

    Try placing another TppVariable inside the footer and update its value in
    the OnCalc of the variable in your detail band. For instance...

    Value := Parts['Sellprice'] - (Parts['Sellprice']/100 * Parts['Discount…
  • Hi Jamie,

    Inside the OnCalc event of the TppVariable, you will need to check the value
    of the current record and increase the total value if it starts with a C.
    Something like the following...

    lsFieldValue := Report…
  • Hi Mark,

    I downloaded the IBO4 demo and verified the issue.

    I contacted Jason Wharton and he said that this is a known issue that he is
    working on. He asked me to have you contact him so he could possibly have a
    lo…
  • Hi Mark,


    You need to be sure your library path is pointing toward the proper IBO
    files to compile correctly.


    Open the source of the package and be sure the IBO files and packages
    included are the correct…
  • Hi Ismet,

    Are you able to recreate this issue in a simple application? If so, please
    give me the steps I can take to recreate it or perhaps send a minimal
    example in .zip format to support@digital-metaphors.com and I'll take …
  • Hi Mark,

    I downloaded the EditTemplatesAsText example and it seems to work correctly
    for me. This example is designed to only work with BDE and the built-in
    paradox tables included with ReportBuilder. You will need to alter …
  • Hi Mark,

    In order to really see the behavior you are talking about and possibly fix
    it, I will need a working example on my machine. I can tell you that there
    is very little difference beteween previewing a report directly an…
  • Hi Mark,

    Are you able to recreate this behavior using the Report Explorer demo
    located in the \RBuilder\Demos\3. EndUser\1. Report Explorer\... directory?
    Opening some of the autosearch reports is the same speed as opening the…
  • Hi Leandro,

    As a first step, try creating a database application that does not include
    RB and get that working on the client machine. From your descriptions, you
    may be having some problems with the DB client software that ne…

  • Hi Leandro,

    No, end-user machines do not need to be registered with a library or any
    other method to use an application with ReportBuilder included.

  • Hi Leandro,

    If the report generates quickly on your machine and slowly on another, there
    has to be a difference between the two setups. There is no difference
    between how ReportBuilder generates reports in a development envir…

  • Hi Leandro,

    There should be no difference in execution speed between your machine and
    your client's. The fact that your reports print quickly on your setup, and
    prints slowly on your client's leads me to believe that this is …

  • Hi Leandro,

    Thanks for the information however that does not give me a very clear
    picture of how your application is working. How are these end-user reports
    changing on your clients' machines? First, give me an overview of w…

    For future reference, please do not type in uppercase. This indicates
    yelling and therefore is
    not appropriate

    This is not a known issue. How are the end-user reports changing? Are you

  • Hi Luca,

    I understand the issue you are describing, however I am unable to recreate
    it on my machine. If possible, please send a small example demonstrating
    the behavior you describe in .zip format to support@digital-metaphor…
  • Hi Luca,

    For future reference please send all attachments to
    support@digital-metaphors.com.

    The FooterBand will always be the last band printed on a page. I would
    recommend hiding the footer band for the last page …
  • Hi Shahine,

    There is now a patch available for RB 10.03 that fixes this issue. Please
    send a small email to support@digital-metaphors.com requesting the patch and
    we'll send it to you as soon as possible.

  • Hi Fernando,

    If you are creating a custom autosearch dialog, you can have your users
    define the autosearch values however you want them to. It would not be that
    difficult to let your users select a value from a list box or DB…
  • Hi Branden,

    The current preview dialog is mostly created in code. This is the reason
    you do not see any components on the PrvDlg form. The preferred way to
    replace the preview dialog is to create a preview plugin. Take a lo…
  • Hi Stuart,

    In code you will need to use a TppVariable and its OnCalc event to make the
    calculation. Something like the following...

    Variable1OnCalc
    begin
    Value := Value + Report.DataPipeline['Qty'];
    end;…
  • Hi Silke,

    Do not use the Memo.Text property to define the memo text. Rather use the
    Memo.Lines TStringList property. Take a look at demo 33 located in the
    \RBuilder\Demos\1. Reports\... directory (dm0033.pas) for an example …
  • Hi Muhamad,

    If you increase the width of the memo to something very large (i.e. the
    width of the page) do you still get this behavior? Does the memo always
    break in the same spot? If so, you might check that the memo text yo…
