The demo on Ed's Dressels machine is the RB Server\Demos\Server\Main
demo project.
AutoSearch parameters are automatically supported by the RB Server. If
you want to know how to define autosearch parameters for an RB repor… -
That error indicates that the .dll is loaded by your web server.
Use IIS Manager to access the properties dialog for the rbWebPub virtual
directory. Press the UnLoad button to unload the ISAPI dll.
1. Does it work properly if you use the ClientReport rather than the
WebTier?
2. What date format are you using MM/DD/YYYY? Or some other format?

The WebTier has been tested with Apache 1.3.26.
1. Make sure that you follow the directions in the RBServer\Demos\Web

Yes, this should work fine.

This is fixed for the next maintenance release.
For the current release either use the Between search operator or e-mail

I can duplicate the problem here and will research it further to get it
fixed.
As a work around you can use the SQL Between operator. It will produce the
appropriate results.

You might consider implementing the server in D6 or D7, since it is going to
be a separate application anyway. You can use RB 7 Enterprise for D5 to
create the reports and then run them under RB 7 Server for D6 or D7.

This functionality is available starting with RB Server 7.02.

The article below discusses how to achieve this by passing a query string.
For ASP, you would replace the reference to report.dll with "report.asp".

The demos and tutorials do indeed work correctly.
The trial version is limited such that you must run the server, thin-client,
and webtier applications on the same machine and only use 127.0.0.0 as the
IP address.
This error pertains to the server - where the report is executing. Any
classes that are used by the reports on the server, need to be included in
the report server application.
You need to add daDataModule to the server an…
This is going to best be answered by downloading the RB Server trial
Edition and spending a few hours working thru the tutorials in the

This is one of the requirements that will be addressed by the Custom

The example that I constructed contains all of the source code that is
required to create a new toolbar button on the viewer and add a new format.

RB Server does NOT contain TExtraDevices.
RB Server includes some adapter classes that enable the TExtraDevices and
the PsRBExportDevices to be used to generate report content on the webtier.

The DataModule that contains the ReportVolume should also contain a
TADOConnection component. The TADOConnection.Name property should reflect
the connection name that was used to create the reports.

Question:
---------
The Server provides a solution for report publishing. It does not support
report design. Thus, the thin-client components do not have any options for
executing the report designer.
To enable users to create reports, you wi…
No, this is not viable.
The architecture that we have chosen provides the most stability and
flexibility. The architecture enables the report server application to be
run on a separate machine from the webtier application…
The error you are receiving indicates that there is no TADOConnection named
'euDatabase' on the datamodule that contains the report volume.
For each report volume you need to use a separate TDataModule. The
TDataModule sho…
This is not currently supported. Will be possible with the custom parameters
feature being added for the next release.

The TDataModule upon which the ReportVolume resides is the Owner of the
Report and the Database connection objects. Therefore you could pass the
Report object reference to the RAP pass-through function. Then get the
Report.Owner…
Yes, currently you can use RB's AutoSearch parameters to pass parameter
values to a report. See RBuilder\Demos\AutoSearch and see our live demo

We have not yet dug into ASP .Net, so I do not know much about it.
