  • Hi Martijn,

    Which version of ReportBuilder are you using? There were some Preview
    issues addressed in RB 7.01. Are you able to reproduce this issue with our
    demo applications included with ReportBuilder? If so, please describ…
  • Hi Jorge,

    This is possible by creating a TppGroup around the grouped field of your
    dataset. Next you would need to keep track of how many detail bands have
    been printed. You could do this by placing a count variable in the
  • Hi Nicolas,

    Check out the ReportBuilder MDI Example included with RB in the
    \RBuilder\Demos\3. EndUser\4. MDI\.. directory. This example gives a good
    example of how to use the ReportExplorer in a MDI application.

  • Hi Kumar,

    The FooterBand is the only band you are not able to adjust the PrintPosition
    property due to the pre-allocated space at the bottom of each page given
    just for the footer. It would be possible however to keep track of …
  • Hi Thomas,

    You need to check your library path to be sure you are pointed at the
    correct TeeChart 6.01 Files and correct ReportBuilder 7.03 files. Be sure
    that you do not have any older RB files in your path. If this does not<…
  • Hi,

    The Region.KeepTogether property will override a Memo.KeepTogether property
    inside that region. Please send an example demonstrating the issue in .zip
    format to support@digital-metaphors.com and I'll take a look at it for y…
  • Hi Nicolas,

    This feature was included a while ago just to demonstrate how to set the
    database path in code at runtime rather than using the Object Inspector in
    Delphi. It does not change the functionality of the End-User demos …
  • Hi Martijn,

    You can perform a Report Object Loop in order to access every object in the
    report, check that it falls within the given margins for the paper selected
    and move them accordingly. Below is a small example of how a Re…
  • Hi Martijn,

    It is possible to gain access to variables in the main report from a
    subreport in RAP using RAP global declarations. These can be accessed and
    created by right clicking inside the box in the upper left corner of the…
  • Hello,

    Using DataPipeline linking will have much higher performance over running a
    query every time you need to output a value.

  • Hi Morten,

    The Report Preview is in bitmap form so individual objects cannot be
    selected. You would need to create a completely new Report Previewer to
    accomplish this, perhaps in richtext format rather than as an image. This<…
  • Hi Martijn,

    It is possible to replace any form in ReportBuilder except for the
    ReportDesigner. You can replace the ppDatDlg form located in the
    RBuilder\Source\... directory if you would like to change the way the Data
    Dia…
  • Hi Mike,

    I tried a full re-install of TeeChart 6.01 and RB 7.03 and was able to
    recreate the error you are receiving. It appears that RB 7.03 was built
    with TeeChart 6.0 so the ReportBuilder TeeChart .dcu files are not compilin…
  • Hi Mike,

    Which version of Delphi are you using? Try doing a complete uninstall of
    ReportBuilder and reinstalling. Be sure that the correct TeeChart package
    is being installed on your hard drive and that it is in your library p…
  • Hi Martijn,

    Thanks for the suggestion.

  • Hi Bill,

    This should work correctly in RAP. Be sure you are suppressing the Detail
    datapipeline. If possible, please send a small example demonstrating the
    issue in .zip format to support@digital-metaphors.com and I'll test it…
  • Hi Bill,

    Try setting the DataPipeline.SkipWhenNoRecords property to True. This will
    suppress the printing of any records that contain no data. This property
    can be set in code or manually using the Object Inspector while selec…
  • Hi Rui,

    If you are getting an 'IEdiSeri' or 'IEdiCha' error message when you try to
    compile a project that contains TeeChart functionality, then TeeChart is
    probably installed correctly. In order to get around these error messa…
  • Hi Allan,

    Are you trying to extract the actual month from a DataTime value? If so,
    you can try using the EXTRACT() method in your SQL statement. Something
    like EXTRACT(Month FROM Source) to use it. You might also want to chec…
  • Hi Francois,

    ReportBuilder has some limitations when using Tee Chart 4.04. Please see
    the ReportBuilder help on TeeChart for a list of these limitations. In the
    ReportBuilder Help, go to the ReporBuilder Reference | TeeChart |…

    Try adding raIDE to your 'uses' clause. Below is an article about
    registering all components in the end-user environment.

  • Hi Marco,

    Try updating to ReportBuilder 7.03. TeeChart 5.02 is only supported by
    ReportBuilder 7.01 for Delphi 6 and higher. If you already have already
    purchased RB 7.0, the upgrade will be free of charge. Please e-mail
  • Hi Andy,

    Thanks for the info, I'll check it out.

  • Hi Tom,

    ReportBuilder relies on Delphi for XP Theme support. Delphi 7 is currently
    the only version of Delphi that allows the use of the XPManifest component
    located in the Win32 tab. XP Themes are not supported for Delphi 5.<…
  • Hi,

    The exception 'Canvas does not allow drawing' occurs when RB cannont access
    the printer. Typically this is thrown when there is not a default printer
    installed. However, if you are running as a service, this may mean that th…
  • Hi Gary,

    Best case scenario is that your component will be cut off when printing.
    Sometimes the report engine will try to overflow to the next page thinking
    that it is out of room on the current page, essentially giving you infi…
  • Hi Gregg,

    It is possible you have a corrupt install or Delphi is trying to access the
    dclRBE77.bpl from a different location than the \RBuilder\Lib\... directory
    (perhaps from a prior installation of RB 7). Follow the instructi…

  • Hi Les,

    Try recompiling the RBIBE packages included with ReportBuilder. You may
    also need to uninstall the old version of IBX before you are able to run the
    new one with RB. The packages are located in the \RBuilder\Source\...…
