    newsgroups.


    This is not a known issue. Are you certain you are connecting the DBCalc

  • Hi A.J.,

    As Ed mentioned, are you able to check your call stack and trace into the RB
    source and see where the exception is occurring? We are not aware of any
    specific issues that occur when closing a report so any informatio…
  • Hi Luke,

    A new version of BuilderControls is now available for download from our
    website that includes RB 12 support.

  • Hi Wolfgang,

    Have you tried removing the call to Template.New? Does that help with the
    load time? The only reason to make this call is to clear the existing
    report and give your user a new default one (same as selecting File…
  • Hi Wolfgang,

    Making a call to Template.New essentially frees all report objects, bands,
    groups, etc. then makes a call to CreateDefaultBands to recreate an empty
    default report. These steps are necessary to produce a new repo…
  • Hi Mike,

    This issue was fixed for a later version of ReportBuilder. Upgrading to RB
    11.08 should solve the problem.

    Contact info@digital-metaphors.com with your serial number and purchasing
    email address for upgrad…
  • Hi Mike,

    Take a look at the TppTextFileDevice located in the ppFilDev.pas file.

    Inside the SavePageToFile routine, a TStringList is created containing all
    the drawcommands located on the page. The routine later makes a c…
  • Hi Tim,

    You need to add ppJPEG to your uses clause in order to load jpg images at
    runtime.

    Thanks for the suggestion, I will take a look at the article and code.

  • HI Stephan,

    This is currently not a feature of the ReportBuilder previewer. Thanks for
    the suggestion, we will consider adding something like this for a later
    release of ReportBuilder.

  • Hi Michela,

    1. When making a call to PrintToDevices, you need to first call
    InitializeParameters if you would like the OnGlobalCreate to fire as it does
    when calling Print.

    if ppReport1.InitializeParameters then
  • Hi Bala,

    There are no built-in features to determine the bottom position of the last
    detail band printed on the page. You will need to measure manually in order
    to determine the location. Take a look at the following example…
  • Hi Bala,

    The footer band is always printing in a static location at the bottom of the
    page. In order to have the lines match up, you need to be sure the top of
    the footer band is located exactly where the bottom of the last d…
  • Hi Whit,

    The easiest way to go about this would be to perform all the data gathering
    in SQL using the HAVING clause. Create a query similar to the following.

    SELECT SUM(MyValueField)
    FROM MyTable
    GROUPBY MyKeyF…
  • HI Julien,

    Thanks for the suggestion. We will consider adding a feature like this for
    a later release of ReportBuilder.

  • Hi Richard,

    This is not a built-in feature of ReportBuilder. The MAPI plugin does not
    support HTML encoding in mail messages as it only uses the Simply MAPI
    interface. There are however three options to try.

    The E…
  • Hi Martin,

    ReportBuilder 12 includes built-in alternate band coloring including color
    gradients.

    Try toggling the visibility of the shape in the BeforePrint event of the
    detail band using the DetailBand.Count proper…
  • Hi Rick,

    I'm very sorry you are having issues getting TIFF export to work.

    The ppTIFFDevice.pas file can be found in the \RBuilder\Source\...
    directory. It is a mistake that it is not also in the \Lib\ directory and I
  • Hi Rick,

    1. Be sure you are using the latest version of ReportBuilder (12.01).

    2. Take a look at the following articles on the options for exporting to
    TIFF.

  • Hi Davide,

    My first suggestion would be to perform a corrupt install cleanup on the
    version of ReportBuilder that you currently have installed. See the
    following article on how this should be done.

  • Hi Stephen,

    Thanks for pointing this out. I created a patch that solves the problem
    using your suggestions. Anyone interested in the patch can email
    support@digital-metaphors.com to receive it.

  • Hi Petter,

    Try using the properties below. All are published so they can be altered at
    runtime or design-time.

  • Hi Rick,

    ReportBuilder 12.01 includes support for multi-page TIFF export. There is
    now a property on the TppTIFFDevice named SingleFile. Setting this to true
    will export the report as a single file.

  • Hi Rick,

    There is currently no way to automatically change the resolution of a TIFF
    file in ReportBuilder. This is something we will research and possibly add
    to a later release.

  • Hi Rick,

    We are currently researching and working on being able to produce directly
    faxable TIFF images using the TiffDevice. If you would like to send me an
    email outlining the exact specifications you need for a TIFF image,…

  • Hi Yusuf,


    I am unable to recreate this behavior here with some generic .png files.
    Please send one of the .png files that is having problems to
    support@digital-metaphors.com and we'll take a look at it for you.

  • Hi Steve,

    If possible, please send a simple example I can run on my machine that
    causes this problem so I can track down the issue. Send the example in .zip
    format to support@digital-metaphors.com.
