There is the Learning ReportBuilder applicatoin which is downloadable from
our website. It has a help file specific to getting up to speed as an end
user. This is what you are looking for most likely. Download it and try it
out.
The data settings on the template should point to a database that exists
when the report template file is loaded. What are the datasettings in the
database configuration when you are running the tempaltes from teh end user
designer? T…You can override the TppAutoSearchDialog class as shown in the autosearch
demo in the main installation demo directory. Then override the Init method
to set the width of your dialog. Here is an example of creating an
autosearch dialog…Another alternative exists. If you use ASTA with the RB end user solution,
you can configure the SQL options set property on the ASTA CDS to
conditionally fetch BLOBs and memos and toggle it at runtime to get this
behavior.
Teechart did not supply the runtime source to their editor files with the
bundled version of Teechart. You will have to build with runtime packages or
purchase a licensed version of Teechart to workaround this issue.
Cheer…What version of RB and Teechart do you have? If you have a registered copy
of Teechart and RB 7, then add ppChrtUI to your uses clause of your project
to enable runtime support for the chart designer in our report designer.
Hi Antonio,
There is no alias that it can use. You'll want to set the description on the
dataview in the edit box. That is how the tab control gets its text value to
display.

…Go into DADE. Then open the datview by going into the SQL tab using the
query designer. At the top there should be an edit box which lets you set
the dataview's description. Then re run the report and check the autosearch

There are SQL scripts in our demos which create the end user tables for the
folders, items, tables, fields and joins. I searched on older posts but OE
is not finding your oldposts so I could see what DB you are using. …Set UseDataDictionary to true in the designer's Datasettings property, or at
runtime in the datasettings dialog of the Data tab. If you don't tell the

automatica…You have to extract the SQL object from each dataview and set the criteria
on them. I created an autosearch field example to get an autosearch dialog,
and then applied the criteria to each of the dataviews. The dataviews in

changing tabs, even if ShowAutosearchDialog = True. We think it would be
annoying if it always popped up the autosearch dialog while you are
designing a report:)
Where does the stream go? If not to file, then it is going to a blob field
in a database? If you run the report explorer demos, you'll see that it
simply shows the save option when closing and does not show the save to file
dialog. Ar…You can access a series via a RAP pass through function. If you look in the

Jim Bennett…Here is the only tip project we have that provides dynamic lookup search
criteria displayed on the form for different selected search criteria.
The first way is to use the runtime report designer to visually edit the
dataviews in each report, using the Query Designer. This is available in
the Professional and Enterprise editions of ReportBuilder. Use the Report
Explorer as s…In RAP, use the Report.AfterPrint event and check if Report.PrinterDevice <>
nil. This will tell you if the report has generated all the pages to be sent
to the printer.

Digital Me…Use the DataDictionary component. The DataDictionary in RB can be used to
control which tables are shown to the user, as well as the fields and join
information which should be used when AutoJoin is turned on.
Cheers,
Here is an example of how to do it. You could provide this option in a
custom print dialog. Then typecast the Report.PrintDialog property in the
OnPrintDialogClose event of the Report to access the starting label number.

Run a memory watch tool, such as Sleuth QA or Automated QA to see if the
printer driver is leaking resources. This could be one cause of the problem.

Disconnect the event handlers. Perhaps there is an infinite loop or
something in your code.
Then make sure that you have the data you expect. Connect a TDBGrid up to
the data source that is connected to the report's datapipeline…
