How are you copying the report? Simply copying and pasting the report
components won't do it. The best way to use one report as a template for
another is to save it to a template of a different name which will save the
report and the … -
Basically what Chris said. After enabling AllowSaveToFile (and optionally
setting the TextFileName property) simply select print from the designer and
check Print To File.

What is the variable's value supposed to be and how is it being calculated?
In the on Calc? Is it a calculation based on data in the pipeline? If so
then do you have the pipeline connected to the report?

report or only when the images exist along with other components? What
version of Delphi, RB, and Win are you running?

Alexa…You can't add place holders but you can do this by adding dummy records for
the purpose of printing the report. Then you can use an event such as the
DetailBand's BeforePrint event to generate a string such as "June is
missing".
…Is this data in a subreport? If so then make sure that the subreport is
assigned to a data pipeline.

Digital MetaphorsCorrect, the Report's BeforePrint fires once. The OnStartPage event, on the
other hand, fires at the beginning of every page. One thing to check is the
Timing property of the variables and set the Reset On property to something
like G…Which band are you putting the totals in? You can put them in the footer

The footer is statically sized by definition and cannot be dynamic height.
What are you trying to do? You can use the summary band instead of the
footer as shown in the example below.
in Dynamic Height of footer Band Comment by digitalmetaphors July 2002The mismatching help descriptions have been fixed for the next release. The
DatabaseName and the DataSettings is used to execute the queries for the
report. For correctly hooking up datasets for the folder/item/join/data
dictionary in…The group footer will only print after the group is finished. It seems like
you need to use the page footer which will print on every page regardless.

Set Report.SavePrinterSetup to true. This will save the TppPrinterSetup of
the report between the report. The DevMode structure can also be saved when
you are setting the printer specific properties. Here is the example which

Report.PrinterSetup.PaperName := 'A4';
Report.PrinterSetup.PaperNames, on the other hand, is the list of all the

The point of this event is that you provide the logic for saving the report.
Try this:
if (sOrigFilename = 'Contacts.rtm') and (sNewFilename = 'Contacts.rtm') then
ShowMessage('Message')
else
Report.Tempate.Save;No. You have to use the RichText component to be able to vary the font.

The point of the Page Style is that it is supposed to span the entire page.
The best thing to do would be to set the page style to the height of the
entire page and then position the content at whichever position you desire.

of the PrinterSetup, of course this all depends on when you set the
