Try testing with RB 7 trial edition www.digital-metaphors.com. If you could
install on another machine then you can create reports and in 6.03 and you
can move back and forth between versions easier than having to reinstall one

The report will regenerate and all of the event handlers will fire again,
unless you have Report.CachePages set to true and the report is going to run
off of its cache of pages. If not, then are you using Delphi variables to

I tried printing a one page report to the screen and also to the printer.
Both times, the message showed 1 as the AbsolutePageCount. Can you
reproduce this on a new report on a form? If it is a conversion issue, then
can you send us… -
Please see the original thread. Sorry, I posted in the old thread before I

You'll have to create a custom print dialog descendent which adds a new
event property to control this change. Copy ppPDlg.pas and rename the form.
Then register this (see the initialization/finalization section of the unit)

The first approach is to use report templates. Templates can be stored in a
file or in a database. You can simple load one up into a report and add to
it. The cool features that templates give you is that they are fully
portable. The … -
As a test, try taking ASTA out of the equation and connect to the Sybase
database directly to see if the problem goes away. You'll have to use
another DADE plugin, to create a test report. I believe we only have been
able to use the B… -
There should be an entry for ReportBulder Data Access for dbExpress in yoru
Delphi Component | Installed Packages. The bpl is called rbDBExx.bpl where
the xx is your version of RB and Delphi. If you have RB 7 for Delphi 6 the

Just delete the other components to simplify the demo. All you need from
that demo is the TSQLConnection and the TppReport. There should be a
dbExpress DADE plugin installed into Delphi by default in our installation.

Look in the ..\RBuilder\Demos\EndUserDatabases\Interbase\DBExpress for an

Which edition of RB are you using?
If you have Professional Edition, then you can store the data access
components in the report template by using the Data tab to create query
dataviews.
If you have pipelines that you… -
One way to do it is to use our dynamic subreport loading example in your
installation in the RBuilder\Demos\EndUser\DynamicSubreportLoading
directory. It uses report templates which get loaded automatically into a
subreport when the r… -
Where is the report located? If it is on another form, then you will want to
create the form (if it is not auto-created) and reference the report object
on the other form. Use the form unit in the uses clause. See out main

If you just want to print bands a variable number of times, then you'll have
to use a JIT pipeline to tell the report that it should print a number of
detail bands. Set the JITPipeline's RecordCount property. You don't have to
use any… -

Perform a test. Can you reproduce the error using a Teechart on a form? This
will take RB out of the picture. Then you can post the problem to the
Teechart newsgroup about it knowing it has nothing to do with RB.
If you need RB … -
We have it on our to-do list to make a web page which has descriptions for

You'll probably have to create draw commands to draw lines from the last
detail band to the bottom aligned summary band. Here is an example of moving
the draw commands for the summary band to the bottom of the page, as an
alternative … -
You have event handlers that are referencing objects that are defined in the
other template which are not loaded because you have the other template
loaded. The objects are not in the form at compile time and so Delphi can't
compile … -
I just created a report like this using RB 7.01 and it works just fine. I
placed the variable in the group header and detail. I used both OnTraversal
timing and BeforeGroupHeader timing. The OnCalc event is
Value := Value + 1;If you edit the SQL on a dataview, RB cannot create a link to it for a
master detail configuration. Can you use the QueryDesigner to create the

their SQL edited…We do not get infinite pages when there are no records in the pipeline. The
pipeline should be connected to the report, not the detailband. The

at runtime in that method that creates the query? What is the result of the

Let me get this traight, you want to take the dataviews that your customer
has created, and convert them to be delphi data access components on your

Teechart which are still also supported. We are working on Teechart 6
support.

to a TPanel, because it "parents" the controls in it. Place the different
