ReportBuilder 7 includes support for Delphi 7, 6 and possibly 5, plus new
features such as the Outline, DBArchiveReader and PreviewFormSettings, and
also the bug fixes for 6.03. If you want all the cool stuff in RB 7, then

We are waiting on the full version of Teechart to be released for sale for
D7. Once we have that version, then we can build a wrapper so that you can
use it in RB. Teechart 5.02 for D6 is not going to work in D7 as far as the

ReportBuilder 7 will definitely support Delphi 6 and 7. We will see how it

version of RB for Delphi 4 is RB 6.03.
Most notably, the main new feature is going… -

Digital MetaphorsOne approach to printing a section of data is to use the original dataset,
but use the techniques as shown in demo #111-116 of the main reports demo
project to only print the records that you want to print.
Cheers,I meant to say that it fires once per page, not once per report:)

Use the OnStartPage event of the report object. This should fire only once
and should let you configure the PageStyle band as you want to.

Use a TppDBMemo instead of the TppDBText. Set its Stretch property to true.

Thankyou for the suggestion! It is on the ToDo list. Currently, there are
two solutions to creating a new page. You can use a group (NewPage = True)
and set its break value to a new value to force a page break. You can also
use the …I emailed an example to your email address specified in this post.

The title band will only print at the begining of the report. Page headers
and footers are not supported in child type subreports. Use a Section Style
subreport if you would like to have page headers and footers. Set the
Subreport.P…The easiest way to do this is to convert the EPS to a WMF and load it into a
TppImage component, so that TppImage can recognize the format.

This will require some effort. You'll have to detect the last page when you
have an orphaned summary and move the detail band from the previous page to
the last page and shift the summary band down. This can all be done by
modifying…When you load a report template, you can register a specific preview class
if you want at that time. You don't have to place the registration calls to

That seems ok, all you need to be sure of is that the size of the offset
area is correct so that the report knows where to start reading data from
the template beyond the offset area.

D…Add your data field to the select clause and set the display format on that
field. This way you get to set it to MMM and have it display the month name

RB can do anything QR can do. How is the report constructed? Do you have
multiple reports or the same one with different data? Can you describe in
