In which event did you change the properties? Usually, set the TppPage
object's properties in the Report.OnStartPage event and then the TppLine
object's Top and Left should be set before the band gets to print so that it

We support the latest release (RB 7) only. We do not support RB 6.03, or
any previous version, with patches or updates. RB 7 is the latest version
we offer and it includes the fix. You'll need to order RB 7.
Cheers,
You need ReportBuilder 7 for Delphi 5. There was a bug in 6.03 which was
fixed in RB 7. The bug was related to group band names getting out of sync,
hence the error you have described. Contact info@digital-metaphors.com to

that the problem will go away with RB 7 as we have not had any reports of
this problem in RB 7.

in How to set the summary Band print at the bottom of the page? Comment by digitalmetaphors November 2002I searched through the changes again, and there was a fix in RB 7 that
changed the event id for the notification of the total value event. This

to get at the grand totals. Sorry about that.

Jim Bennet…Check out crosstab demo #127. It should only format the values in that
event. There are other events to format the total values, as the demo
shows.
The demo is in Delphi code, but the approach should be the same in RAP.

It isn't on the ToDo list to be implemented in the near future. I can see
that would be more useful in the Designer, to edit properties and create or
