?I'm uses report builder with an application thats was write in delphi, i
unknow which version was used by the programmers, but my question is this,
i've an report that come with app. and i need include the tax and price with
tax in an label. Ok the problem it's the next, when i perform an query the
data change 1 by 1, these it's ok, but i've 2 variables in the report but
these variables take the value of the first record in the dataset, and
perform the calculations, ahh, these label write data correctly in the
preview window in the report designer, but when run over the app then write
the data of first record in data set for these 2 variables, and i must draw
the date of buy, but neither draw an corretly date only "30/12/1899".

excuse my poor english.

kind regards.

    Hello,

    I believe 30/12/1899 is the default value of a Date variable equal to 0. It
    looks like the data is not being properly retrieved or set to the value of
    the variable.

    Please understand that Digital Metaphors can only provide tech support to
    the Delphi developers that purchase ReportBuilder. Digital Metaphors
    receives no distribution royalties from Delphi developers that embed
    end-user reporting solutions in their applications. It is the responsibility
    of the software publishers that sold you the product to provide you with
    tech support.

    There is an end-user tutorial called Learning ReportBuilder that can be
    downloaded from our web site for free. See the following article for more
    infomation.

    Article: Learning ReportBuilder
    --------------------------------

    Learning ReportBuilder is a complete learning system designed to teach end
    users how to build a range of reports. This system includes a 125-page PDF
    file, a stand-alone application complete with a database, and a help file.
    The PDF file is comprised of a series of tutorials that step end users
    through the process of building reports as simple as a table listing and as
    complex as crosstabs. The tutorials also introduce conceptual aspects of
    report building along the way. The application is used in conjunction with
    the tutorials so that the learning experience is interactive. The end user
    just prints out the PDF file, runs the application, and learns
    ReportBuilder. The help file is accessible from the application, so all
    three tools work together to provide a seamless learning environment.

    Learning ReportBuilder installs into C:\Program Files\LearnReportBuilder.
    When the system has successfully installed, a complete set of instructions
    appears in the form of a 'ReadMe' doc, so the end user knows just what to do
    upon installation.
