  • Bora,

    Try setting the DBCalc for the sum to "Look Ahead" by changing the LookAhead
    property to true. You can also set a page break reset by creating a
    TppVariable and adjusting the timing to reset on the page break. Right
  • Jean,

    Yes, it is possible to manually show an autosearch criteria with manually
    edited sql.. The example below shows how to do this. Notice that the
    autosearch values will need to be extracted from the dialog and added into
  • Martin,

    You should see an entry for ReportBuilder in the Add/Remove Programs list of
    the Control Panel. If you do not see it, there could be a problem with your
    regristry. Make sure you have uninstalled all versions of ReportB…
  • Martin,

    We have no known errors like this one in RB 7.02. You may have a corrupt
    install. Please follow the instructions below to clean up a corrupt
    installation and reinstall ReportBuilder.

  • Martin,

    ReportBuilder uses the printer driver. Try either updating your printer
    driver or perhaps try installing a known working driver such as the HP
    LaserJet 4 driver and see if that works.(you do not have to have an HP
  • Mark,

    Check out the installed dynamic subreport loading demos in the
    \RBuilder\Demos\3. EndUser\5. Dynamic Subreport Loading... directory.

  • Bob,

    We have had no know issues with the ReportBuilder/HP 2100 combination. What
    specifically are the symptoms of the problem printing? It is most likely
    the print driver, however we would like you to try downloading the trial…
  • Bob,

    There are no known issues like this. The version of ReportBuilder you are
    using is over three years old and there have been numerous fixes and
    enhancements since then. Please download a trial copy of ReportBuilder 7.02
  • Paul,

    If you free the form in the ReportPreviewFormClose event you are freeing it
    too early. When the report tries to exit, it is referencing an object that
    is not there. This is the reason you are receiving the AV errors. Yo…
  • Whitney,

    Use the example code in my previous post in the OnGetAutoSearchValues event
    after you retrieve the AutoSearch values (as shown in then example located
    at \RBuilder\Demos\5. AutoSearch\1. AutoSearch Field to SQL Params.)…
  • Whitney,

    You will need to convert the autosearch field value entered by the user to
    the Advantage date format.

    ReportBuilder Professional or Enterprise contain Query tools that can do
    this for you. However, with the s…
  • Whitney,

    Check out the autosearch demos located in the \RBuilder\Demos\5.
    AutoSearch\... directory. Especially see the "AutoSearch Field to Table
    Filter" demo.

  • Ivan,

    Sounds like you need to use the CrossTab component. Check out the CrossTab
    demos located in the \RBuilder\Demos\2. CrossTabs... directory.

  • Paul,

    Try running your report on another machine and see if this helps. If you
    can successfully run on another machine you may have to re-install Delphi to
    completely clear out your registry.

  • Paul,

    It looks as though you may have a corrupt install. Please read the article
    below for information on cleaning and fixing this issue.

  • Paul,

    You have the latest version of ReportBuilder. Please send an example
    demonstrating this problem to support@digital-metaphors.com and we'll test
    with our machines.

  • Paul,

    Which version of ReportBuilder are you using? Make sure you have RB 7.02
    Build 2 dated 03/17/03. Do you receive this error at runtime? Are you
    perhaps using a TDataModule?

  • Andy,

    Using Advantage with ADO and ReportBuilder has never fully been tested. If
    you would like to see a chart of which databases have been tested with which
    connectivity software, please see the RBuilder.hlp in the ReportBuild…
  • Andy,

    How are you linking the Advantage sets? If you have not already, try using
    datapipeline linking for your Master Detail links. If you are using
    standard Delphi linking with parameters, try switching to datapipeline
    l…
  • Richard,

    Try setting the StretchWithParent property to True. This force the
    non-stretchable controls to stretch with the particular band that it is in.

  • Eduardo,

    Try contacting Marques Sobrinho, the creator of FIBPlus for support with
    this issue (marquesbr@ig.com.br). You can also surf the FIBPlus website for
    more information (ht…
  • Paul,

    I created something similar to what you described below and it seemed to
    work correctly. Below is a link to the example I created. Please feel free
    to send an example of your code that demonstrates this behavior to
  • Pat,

    Make sure the images are not being resized when loading to the upgraded
    version. Please send an example demonstrating the problem to
    support@digital-metaphors.com and we'll take a look.

  • Hi Goran,

    Currently a zooming capability in the Design mode of the Report Designer is
    one of the items on our to-do list for future enhancements. It is hard to
    say exactly when this feature will be available but we have had eno…
  • Hi Goran,

    Thank you for evaluating ReportBuilder!

    1. The zoom capability is only available in Preview mode. This is not
    currently available in Design mode.

    2. You can use the OnPreviewFormCreate event to acce…
  • Mark,

    TeeChart was not designed to be placed in a report. We have more or less
    forced it to work with ReportBuilder. In your situation, you will need to
    create the charts separate of ReportBuilder, then import the image of the…
  • Gary,

    We have successfully tested the Zebra 2746 Label printer driver with
    ReportBuilder without any problems. Can you see the problem in the preview?
    If so, please send us an example report so we can try it with your driver
  • Jeff,

    ReportBuilder does not have any explicit support for MBCS. This is on our
    to-do list.
