Create a RAP pass through function to set it on the page object in the
OnStartPage or OnEndPage event. Your user will use this event handler in
RAP, and the code they should call is your SendReportPageToPrinterBinName

In the variable's OnCalc event handler, reference the data field directly
from the pipeline:

What is in your event handlers? It works fine in tests here,both at Delphi
design time and at runtime using the different versions of Delphi we support
in RB 7.01, D5, D6 + D7. Can you send a simple example to

Can you reproduce this at runtime using Teecharts on a TForm without RB
involved?

Can you send a simple example report project that shows the problem?

Are you using RB 7.01? Download the trial edition 7.01 and see if that
solves the problem.
So the driver didn't help. What about the other questions Nard asked?
