  • Hi Juan,

    Reportbuilder does not natively support stored procedures with DADE however
    it is possible to create a custom dataview that allows them to be used.
    Take a look at the demo located in the \RBuilder\Demos\4. EndUser
  • Hi Daniel,

    There is no built-in feature to change the color of a text component based
    on its value however, this can be done by checking the field value in the
    DetailBand.BeforePrint event. Something like the following...
  • Hi Jaime,

    This should be possible by going through each template as text and manually
    adding the proper code. I would recommend creating a sample report with the
    dataview you would like to add to your reports and saving it to…
  • Hi Ray,

    I would first recommend upgrading to the latest version of ReportBuilder (RB
    10.06).

    Although we appreciate a certain amount of detail, we would prefer it if you
    would send us an example of the issue you are…
  • Hi Hans,

    Which version of ReportBuilder are you using? The ppToolbars.pas file is
    not needed for RB 10.x. When you receive this error, does a RB source file
    try to use the ppToolbars file?

    Be sure you are using th…
  • Hi Jose,

    This is not a known issue. Which version of ReportBuilder are you using?

    The VB code you have below uses a different mechanism to access the Outlook
    COM interface. We have this implemented in the TppSMTPOutlook…
  • Hi Jose,

    In my testing with Outlook 2003, the MAPI and Outlook plugins seem to work
    correctly. One item another customer recently found is that on her machine
    with the MAPI plugin, the email would not respond if an instance o…
  • Andy,

    This example is designed to print multiple copies of an entire report.
    gCopy will only get reset back to 0 when the report begins printing. Then
    each time the page starts, the gCopy is increased if the page number is 1 …
  • Hi Andy,

    Take a look at the following example of creating a unique caption for each
    copy printed with RAP.

  • Hi John,

    This is simply referring to the database name used by the TppDesigner
    object. You can manually set this as well to the name of the connection on
    your form.

  • Sorry John, perhaps I wasn't clear. The reason you would be getting the
    default ADO connection would be that DADE cannot find the connection defined
    when the templates were created. This is the equivalent of going to the
    Data tab…
  • Hi John,

    The database connection information is stored inside the template so once
    you load the template, the connection setting you gave the report object is
    overwritten. Try using the template event OnLoadEnd to assign the …

  • Hi Brian,

    The angle property can only be applied to single line text. The ability to
    rotate wordwrapped text is something we will consider adding to a later
    version of ReportBuilder. One option is to use more than one single…
  • For future reference, please use your real full name when posting to these
    newsgroups.

    The build-in RichText editor does not support full justification. Take a
    look a the following article on using a third party RichText comp…
  • Manuel,

    ReportBuilder does not have a built-in way to detect the last detail of a
    group/page/report. This is something we are researching to add for a later
    release. Currently it is necessary to perform some sort of pre-proc…
  • Hi,

    Below is a simple example that keeps track of the last detail for each group
    in a separate summary query. You should be able to perform these tasks in
    RAP.

  • Hi Shirley,

    The easiest way to do this would be to add a search condition to your SQL
    code accessing your dataset...

    WHERE
    AccountTerms <> 1

    This will prevent the data from ever being traversed and…
  • Hi Paul,

    Yes, the easiest way to accomplish this would be to create a custom Preview
    plugin that contains the added buttons for certain reports. Then, based on
    which report template is loaded, register or unregister the prope…
  • Hi Patrick,

    When printing directly from the TppViewer, you will need to update the
    Report.CurrentPage in order to print the current page from the print dialog.
    Otherwise, the report does not have a concept of which page is the…
  • Hi Terry,

    When collation is set to False, ReportBuilder generates each page once and
    the device handles each copy iteration. This is the reason it is necessary
    to use the OnStartPage of the device to add or adjust a drawcomma…
  • Hi Glenn,

    Which version of ReportBuilder are you using? We enhanced the Report
    Explorer to only access the necessary fields when viewing the templates for
    RB 10.x. This speeds up the explorer with numerous templates signific…
  • Hi Eric,

    Once a template is loaded, any previously set report properties will be
    replaced by the properties saved with the template definition. Once the
    template is loaded you can successfully set any report properties yourse…
  • Terje,

    We are going to need more information about your application and environment
    to possibly track this down. There are numerous factors than can cause an
    end-user app to slow down.

  • Hi Jim,

    Try accessing the file name directly from the file device once the report
    has started generating or after the report has printed. Something like the
    following...

  • Hi Daneel,

    The exception 'Canvas does not allow drawing' occurs when RB cannont access
    the printer. Typically this is thrown when there is no default printer
    installed or RB cannot access a network printer driver.

  • Hi Steve,

    This is currently not a feature of the TextFile Device however we are
    strongly considering adding this for the next major release of
    ReportBuilder. If you take a look at the TppTextFileDevice.SavePageToFile
    ro…
  • Hi Pedro,

    Thanks for your interest in ReportBuilder!

    1. It is possible to hide the built-in object inspector however you may
    loose some functionality for certain objects. You will find that most
    functionality need…
  • Hi Marcos,

    Thank you for the feedback. We will consider these enhancements for a later
    release of ReportBuilder.

    As a side note, and as you have found from reading other posts, it is
    possible to completely replace …
