Oh...this wasn't clear in the first post. The group header has two option in
it's popup menu, PrintOnFirstPage and PrintOnLastPage. Disable the latter.

Can you sum within the context of a simple report? That is, no subreports or
groups, to verify that you're using the DBCalc properly. If so than check
your ResetGroup property to make sure that is not set to something which
would caus… -
I believe the DisplayFormat is ignored in that case. Though I think I'm
failing to see what setting a display format for a system variable would
accomplish. How, in particular, would you like it displayed?

Make sure you have the latest printer drivers. Also see the info below for

Disconnect the pipeline from the report, not from the crosstab. Select
Report | Data and select None.

This is because you have the report and the crosstab connected to the same
pipeline. If the crosstab is all you have in the report then simply
disconnect the pipeline form the report. Otherwise place the crosstab in the

I remember this bug from a year or so ago and it should have been fixed in
6.03. I have a QA case in which it fixed the problem, but there must be
another case which breaks it. There is no planned approach on the table at
this time. … -
The first thing to do is to make sure you have the latest printer drivers
for which ever printer you are using. The article below could give you some
useful tips on using RichText. You can also try using the InfoPower RichText

This wasn't clear in your first post.
In this case simply use the OnPrintingComplete event and check DeviceType at
this point. (You could also implement the OnPrintDialogCreate and
OnPrintDialogClose event to intervene earlier).… -
There seem to be a number of aspect to address here. First the user could
have simply pressed the cancel button. In this case you can use the
OnCancelDialogClose event to check the modal status of the dialog. Next, the

You option is to upgrade or edit the SQLText property. Personally, I would

Are you using RB 6.03? I believe older versions of RB didn't allow this.

You have a couple of options here. The simpler one is to dynamically create
another report, put two subreports inside it, and load the two reports into
these subreports. The other one is to actually take control of the printing
proces… -
If you're going for optimization here and do not intend to get the value
from a pipeline than don't use a DBText. Use a ppLabel or a ppVariable or
type String instead.

You should use forms or data modules rather than frames.

Use the DetailBand's BeforePrint event instead rather than the OnGetText.
The former will fire once, the latter will fire multiple times.

If you are going to base a group on a variable, you need to use the
OnGetText event of the variable to set its value. The reason is that the
OnCalc timing doesn't fire by the time the group is determining its group
