  • Jeff,

    You need to create two subreports connected to the same datapipeline, then
    choose the fields from the same record. For instance, the first subreport
    (page) prints the first 20 fields, then the second subreport prints the …

  • Paul,

    Most likely you are freeing the form before the report has finished
    executing. If you are trying to free the form, you need to do so after the
    report has printed. Try calling Report.Cancel before you do so and see if
  • Gian,

    If you are trying to show "page" in a different language, you may just need
    to change the Report.Language property and the static words will
    automatically be translated. The article below explains how enable

  • Hi Goran,

    Thank you for evaluating ReportBuilder! The first time a report is loaded,
    we initialize your printer driver. Depending on your network speed to the
    printer this could affect the speed at which RB can get informatio…
  • Morten,

    You will need to alter the Custom Dataviews that we provide to connect to
    your database. Then you should be able to use the TClientDataset however
    you need and hook it up to a datasource, then to a datapipeline and a
  • Morten,

    Try creating a Custom Dataview Template. There is an example of creating a
    custom dataview in the \RBuilder\Demos\3. EndUser\2. Custom Data Views...
    directory. This example show how to register your own dataview to be …
  • Nigel,

    Try using the Page Style to print the images for the boxes. The Page Style
    will always print behind the main report bands and is perfect for form
    emmulation. To access the Page Style, select the Report | Page Style menu…

  • Luciana,

    All forms in ReportBuilder are replaceable. It is possible to create a
    descendent of the print dialog, along with any other forms that are not
    displaying properly, and have that reflect the language/position changes yo…
  • Bhoj,

    The following code should help you get started with creating a custom query
    designer.

  • Jeff,

    Yes this is true. When ReportBulder prints to a device, the only code which
    will be different will be the device class. Try having your customer update
    the printer driver they are using. You can also try downloading the…
  • Hi Bernd,

    Sorry, but we will need a live report example to test the issue you are
    experiencing.

  • Bernd,

    Are you able to recreate this bug in our crosstab demos? If so, please
    create a simple example demonstrating this bug and send it to
    support@digital-metaphors.com. Thanks.

  • Bernd,

    The column widths in a Crosstab are created automatically and cannot be
    adjusted. You will need to register a crosstab renderer replacement. Check
    out the TppCrosstabRenderer class for more information in the ppCTRend.p…
  • Bernd,

    Sorry, but there is currently no way to force an empty column in a Crosstab.
    We will add this to our to-do list for future enhancements of ReportBuilder.
    You might consider using one of the add-on Grid components availabl…
  • Raffaele,

    ReportBuilder does not parameterize it's queries. Check out the example
    below on how to change the search criteria of a query in run-time.

  • Bruno,

    There is no way to know how many times a group will break before the report
    generates. You will need to set the Report.PassSetting to TwoPass so you
    can retrieve the number of group breaks during the first pass before th…
  • Bruno,

    I am a bit unsure what the problem is. You should be able to place a
    TppVariable of type Integer in your summary band and set the value equal to
    ppReport.Groups[i].BreakNo. Is this not working for you? If not, please
  • Gerson,

    In RB 7 you can change the Report.PreviewFormSettings.WindowState to
    wsMaximized in the Object Inspector. This is a new published property for
    RB 7.

    For RB 6, please refer to the article below...

  • Andre,

    TppBorderType is used to create the border of each cell in a crosstab
    component. There are four types: btLeft, btRight, btTop, btBottom. Check
    out the TppMatrix class located in the ppCTCell.pas file for the public
  • Jonathan,

    Unfortunately, the Designer form is the one form in ReportBuilder that is
    not replaceable. You are however able to change the menu options and
    restrict certain toolbar functions. Below is a link to an example on how …
  • Bob,

    You will have to export the .doc file to a .rtf (richtext) file before
    loading the blob field into the report. You can then use a TppRichText
    component to view the data inside the Report.

  • TorB,

    Looking at the Waler web site, http://www.waler.com, it looks as though
    their product QR2RB supports most add-ons for QuickReport or will do so

  • Mike,

    We do not distribute past versions of ReportBuilder for Delphi 5, 6, and 7.
    The "Canvas Does Not Allow Drawing" bug exists in RB 6.03 and was fixed in
    Reportbuilder 7. You will need to upgrade to ReportBuilder 7.02 to rec…
  • Mike,

    Make sure you are using the latest version of your printer driver. If this
    does not fix the bug, try downloading a trial version of ReportBuilder 7.02
    and see if it corrects the problem.
