I have installed 10.4 and TeeChart 7.07 ( I though the latest) and it all works fine except that charts on the reports Dont Display .. They are just a white box
This was working fine on 10.2 With Teechart 6 .. (not updated for a while)
Which version of Delphi are you using? Are you seeing this behavior both at runtime and design time? Are these charts that have been created in the past and saved in a template or are they all newly created charts?
TeeChart 7.08 has been released for Delphi 2006 only and is currently supported with ReportBuilder 10.04 for Delphi 2006.
It sounds like you may have a corrupt installation. Take a look at the article below on cleaning a corrupt installation and reinstall your version of ReportBuilder.
-------------------------------------------- Article: Cleaning up a Corrupt Installation --------------------------------------------
If you have been advised by Digital Metaphors technical support that you may have a corrupt installation, or if you are having difficulty installing, compiling or running applications after a ReportBuilder install, then it may be necessary to manually remove all ReportBuilder files from your system. Corrupt installations usually result when you are installing over a previous version of ReportBuilder which was not installed into the default directory, which was recompiled from the source, or when ReportBuilder files were manually moved from the default install location. Cleaning up a corrupt installation, consists of locating all ReportBuilder related files, and deleting them from your system. The first step is to use the uninstall program to remove as much of ReportBuilder as possible.
Run the uninstall program
1. Exit Delphi, and all other applications. You should have no applications running except the uninstall, otherwise you may lose some of your work.
2. Select Start | Settings | Control Panel from your Windows desktop.
3. Double-click the Add/Remove programs icon.
4. Locate the version of ReportBuilder you wish uninstall and double-click it.
5. The first page of the Uninstall Wizard allows you to choose between an Automatic or Custom uninstall. Choose Custom and click the Next button.
6. Click the Select All button, then the Next button. Repeat these steps until you reach the last page of the wizard.
7. Click the Finish button. All of the items you selected will be removed from the system.
8. After all the ReportBuilder files are removed, you may be prompted to reboot the system. If this is the case, reboot the system.
Delete the ReportBuilder root directory (and all subdirectories)
1. Using the Windows Explorer, locate the ReportBuilder root directory. The default directory is:
C:\Program Files\Borland\DelphiX\RBuilder
2. Once you have located this directory, inspect it. If you have any custom work in this directory which you would like to keep, move it to another directory.
3. Delete the ReportBuilder root directory.
Delete all remaining ReportBuilder files
1. Using the Windows Explorer, search the entire hard drive for all occurrences of:
dclRB*.bpl dclRB*.dcp rb*.bpl rb*.dcp
2. Delete any occurrences which correspond to the version you are removing. All packages are named with the convention NN, where the first number is the ReportBuilder version and the second number is the Delphi version. Thus, a typical package name for Delphi 5 would be rbRCL45.bpl. The same package for Delphi 4 would be: rbRCL44.bpl. Check Installing ReportBuilder for a list of the packages associated with each version.
3. Using the Windows Explorer, search your hard drive for all occurrences of:
pp*.* da*.* ra*.*
4. These are the prefixes used by individual ReportBuilder units. 'pp' is used for ReportBuilder units, 'da' is used for DADE units, and 'ra' is used for RAP units. Depending on which ReportBuilder you have (Standard, Professional or Enterprise) you may not have all of these unit types.
Additional Notes
1. Never have Delphi running when installing ReportBuilder.
2. All ReportBuilder related files should be stored in the root directory $(DELPHI)\RBuilder.
3. All ReportBuilder run-time packages should be stored in the Windows\System directory.
4. You should never have ReportBuilder files in Delphi\Lib, Delphi\Bin or Delphi\Projects\Bpl.
I have double checked teh Teechart website and tehre is no 7.08 for any versions .. I have followed your instructins and reinstalled rbuilder and tchart and get the same problem
Can i download the Report builder that supports teechart 7.07 Please?
ReportBuilder 10.04 for Delphi 7 already supports TeeChart 7.07. On my machine I have Delphi 7, RB 10.04 and TeeChart 7.07 working correctly. Did you try completely uninstalling TeeChart as well as ReportBuilder and see if that makes a difference?
The TeeChart download site is very confusing. Steema has only released TeeChart 7.08 for Delphi 2006. Though the link is labeled TeeChart 7.07, if you download the Delphi 2006 version, you will see the file name implies version 7.08. Since you are using Delphi 7, this information does not apply.

Which version of Delphi are you using? Are you seeing this behavior both at
runtime and design time? Are these charts that have been created in the
past and saved in a template or are they all newly created charts?

Charts work fine when dropped onto a standard form
