The problem is that RB 6 and prior require the teechart UI units when
building with source(pas/dcu). You can build with runtime packages to get
around the error. In Delphi 5, you probably had a full version of teechart

There is a master detail JITPipeline example in the main reports demo

In all versions of RB, DADE only supports a single database connection.
However, you can use mulitple database connections on a form. A solution

I installed the trial edition of RB 7 and it does show up in the list of
installed programs in the windows control panel. When I choose to

That certainly sounds strange. It could very well be a Delphi problem. Have
you tried installing into Delphi 5 or 6? Try uninstalling/reinstalling RB
completely. We have some detailed uninstallation instructions (see below)

I've installed RB 7 for D7 trial to test this. It worked fine. Make sure
that the Delphi Tools | Environment Option | Library | Library Path has an

Are you building from the RBuilder\Source directory or RBuilder\Lib? If you
are trying to build with source, then from Delphi design time, can you open
ppPrintPreview.pas in RBuilder\Source directory? In RB 3.5 there shouldn't

You're right. In D5, the dcu in RBuilder\Lib is compiled with a different
date. We'll have to fix this. In the mean time, you can point to the
RBuilder\Lib and RBuilder\Demos\RCL directories in order to recompile
without packages.There is no problem with the design time packages. The difference is that
the RB 7 installation script doesn't copy the source to the checkbox in the
RBuilder\Source directory. The dcu does exist in the RBuilder\Lib directory
so you s…You need to find and add ..\RBuilder\Demos\RCL to your library path. This
is where the MyChkBox.pas file is located in the installation.

You could create a crosstab renderer yourself which can do this. The
renderer is replaceable. The default renderer takes the crosstab matrix that
the crosstab engine creates and tries to determine how best to display it.
You could wri…You need to have an if-else case that sets the detail band back to visible,

Using BandsPerRecord greater than one in conjunction with LeftToRight
columnar reports is not supported. It will only work when printing from
TopToBottom. We will consider adding this support in the future. Thanks for
the suggestion…The ReportBuilder Server Edition does not support embedded ActiveX controls
