  • I was hoping to get my app finished without going through any more component
    upgrades, like RB 7. It's all a matter of change management, not money. But,
    it looks like I must do RB 7 nevertheless -- I wish I had taken your advance

  • I am using TIBConnection for which I have set the SQLDialect property to 3.
    I'm using a TIBOQuery component for tblField as per the tutorial. Both its
    DatabaseName and IB_Connection properties are set to the TIBConnection
    component. T…
  • Hmm... I presume that your message is that RBuilder does not support
    InterBase Dialect 3 for End-User Reporting. Therefore, I'm SOL and will have
    to drop this feature that we have offered end-users for about five years.
    Sadly, they wi…
  • Hi H. Romero,

    'OnSaveEnd' is of type 'TppStreamEvent', see 'RBuilder.hlp'.

  • Hi John,

    My guess is that to support all sorts of database engines, that
    ReportBuilder doesnt get into specifics at the join level. I haven't used
    to any great extent the heavy duty SQl databases, but I have used a number
  • Jim,

    I can send a sample but I think you might be misunderstanding me. The
    calculated field is not an SQL calculated field but a TppVariable. There is
    no way to create an SQL statement that will adequately calculate what I
  • Jim,

    How would I go about sorting this? I have a variable field which has
    calculations. How do I know go about using this as my sort sequence so I
    can group on this variable field?

    Thanks

  • Found the answer, DBISAM users were able to help me. I needed a new
    daDBISAM.dcu.

    Thankyou

  • Jim,

    Must admit, the screen preview looks right...

    Have created two boxes, one directly below the other and both still with
    watermark underneath.... the top one is a memo box, the bottom one a
    RichText box.

  • Thanks for the input, much appreciated.

    However, I can't insist all my clients buy HP R60's...

    Have since tried it outpuutting to Pragnaan's PDF output file (presumably
    bypasses standard printer drivers?) - and it still do…
  • Just note that Team DM is volunteers.

    I got it working just fine on a HP OfficeJet R60.

  • Have tried printing on a HP LaserJet 4000 (PCL6 and PS), HP InkJet 2000C,
    Oki Colour Laser C7400 and an HP OfficeJet G85 (on both Windows NT4 and
    XP) - all with the same results!

    If it's the printer drivers, then all of ours hav…
  • Depending upon the printer driver, I have had various issues with water
    marks and RTFs. I received a FAX (copy of water mark report) from a major
    client of our that was almost all black. But then it works on many
    printers--we have no …
  • Thanks. I finally got it working now.

  • from how I am seeing it now, I don't think I can UnRegister the
    TdaDataManager. Really no way no how. Isn't there a way to shut the tab
    visually?? I mean I don't mind having the object floating around because
    without it some of my par…
  • Guess I have counted on my eggs too soon. The previous try it did kinda
    work, but the FieldAlias was somewhat wrong. Then I made a check and found
    that daIDE was declared there (don't know how). After removing all daIDE, I
    can't get t…
  • I thought I ask that question before in another name (don't worry, this is
    my real). Thanks. It worked. The last time I posted I was hoping that you
    could tell me like there is a simple comand like tabs[0].Visible := False or
    sth like…
  • Hello Jim,
    I've downloaded the file and seen. Tyed with a simple report to "translate"
    to IBo and it seems to work ( I've never thought it doesn't! ).
    In case i'll find problems with more complex ones i'll be back again.

    No…

    thanks.
    I take my time to try and revert

  • I have RB 7. What I think is happening is that my report is being modified
    at run-time before the report is shown, and that is setting modified to
    true... In one case, I have several subreports defined in the report. When
    the report l…
  • Something a bit odd is happening on one of my reports...

    In the OnShow for the TppDesigner I do a SelectNextPage to have the Preview
    page shown initially. If I then click on the Design tab, then close the
    window, the Report.modi…
  • Thanks... SelectNextPage worked.

    I have one remaining issue... If I make a change in the designer (like
    change the text of a label), then close (without saving), the report design
    is not saved (to the MS SQL database, in my case…
  • In the onShow event of the designer I change the ActivePageIndex, as stated
    below... The previewer comes up empty, though. If I then click on the design
    tab, then back on the preview tab, my report is there... How can I have the
    desig…
  • I worded that incorrectly... I meant that I want the preview page to be
    displayed (ie, report preview) when designer.showModal is called. I think I
    can do it with

    TppDesignerWindow (ppDesigner1.Form).pgcDesigner.ActivePageInde…
  • In some cases I want the preview tab to be visible when I first call
    designer.showModal. How do I do that?

  • How many messages am I gonna line up on this thread???

    Only some of my users should be allowed to change report designs. Would it
    be reasonable to use a TppDesigner instead of a TppReport, and always load
    the report in preview m…
  • So far I haven't been able to get the preview to update after changes to the
    design, just as you said might be a problem...

    If this method is not recommended, what method is? I've been trying to
    understand the best way to let us…
  • Ok... one other question... after the designer.showModal, how can I tell if
    the user saved changes in the designer... I don't want to try to reset the
    report to the first page if the user doesn't alter the report design.

  • A related question... I have the design button working within the
    report.print previewer. That is, the design window comes up with a
    .Showmodal. If I make a change in the designer, though, then close (without
    saving), the report desig…
  • I'll work with your suggestions. Thank you...

    Some questions, though... Can I hide the preview tab in the designer? I'm
    descending from TppPreview and the preview window shows my "Design" button
    again, which is not good, ie, I c…
