2 Columned A4 landscape report

edited January 2008 in General
Hi,
I'm using Delphi 7 Enterprise and RBuilder Enterprise 10.04.
I have a report printed in A4 landscape. I want to display 2 records per
page.
I put 2 columns in the page setup buet only the left half page is printed.
The right halp page is blenk. Therefore if I have 8 records I must print 8
pages and not 4.
However if I enter 2 BandsPerRecord the right falf of the page is printed
correctly.
If I enter 3 BandsPerRecord the first page has both half printed the secod
the first half
and so on... Can you give a hint for this??

I also want to use some special spanish characters in some labels
like N with circumflex that don't exist in Greek keyboard. Do you have any
suggestion for this.

I also don't like when I'm writing some code in the calc tab that if i press
Tab the cursor
moves to another window and doesnot behave like when used in any other code
editor.

Best Regards,
Manolis Perrakis

    - RB 10.07 corrects the RAP Code Editor behavior so that is supports tabs.

    - To specify special characters, I usually use the Windows Character Map
    accessory program. You can use to select the character and then use
    copy/paste. Another technique is to press alt + numeric keypad (provided you
    know the ascii code)

    - In a simple test here using RB 10.07, I was able to create a report with 2
    columns - 2 records per page.

    Try updating to RB 10.07 - it is free update from RB 10.04. Send your serial
    number and registration info to info@digital-metaphors.com and request
    download information. If you still have an issue, then create a simple
    example project using the DBDemos data or dump some data out to a
    ClientDataSet. Send in zip format to support@digital-metaphors.com
