I am probably not understanding this question. Looks like to me you have
some group based totals (i.e. Total of 11, Total of 12). And then you have a

The specific data connections and location of the subreport depends on the

Create a subreport and set it to pbFixed. Size the subreport to occupy the

Add a SummaryBand to the report. Set SummaryBand.NewPage to true. Place the
RichText memo in the summary band and set stretch to True.

You need to perform this calculation outside of RB, prior to calling
Report.Print.
Simplest solution would be to perform the calculation in a SQL Statement.

RB Server Edition executes reports within the context of an NT Service.
RB 7 is the first version of RB to be thread-safe. You should update to RB

in Mysterious range error Comment by nardmoseley February 2003
If the TField.FieldType is ftFMTBcd, then RB internally converts the type to
Double.
As a test try the following:
1. Modify your Delphi library path from RBuilder\Lib to RBuilder\Source
2. Add a TButton to…
Sorry, but I do not understand the question. The text may appear slightly
different in previewm, due to the higher resolution of the printer (~96 ppi
for screen and ~600 ppi for printer).
What are you trying to accomplish?…
The margins are controlled via the Report.PrinterSetup properties. See demo
121 (dm0121.pas) in RBuilder\Demos\Reports\Demo.dpr. You should be able to
modify this example to do what you need. Note that once the report is

Creating a descendant of DBText would provide the best solution.
Another solution would be to connect all of the DBText to a single
event-handler.

suppot@digital-metaphors.com for a proposed solution.
Thanks!
Using the TreeView.PaintTo might not work on a printer canvas, due to the
difference in resolution (i.e. ~96 ppi for screen vs.~600 ppi for the
printer). You would need to account for the difference.
