  • Hi Willie,

    To isolate the issue as a PDF problem or not, try performing the same test
    except print the reports to paper or export them to Archives rather than PDF
    files. This will let me know if it is a PDF device issue or pe…
  • Hi Steve,

    Thanks, there is now a patch available for RB 12.02 that addresses this
    issue. Please contact support@digital-metaphors.com if you would like the
    patch.

  • Hi Steve,

    If you have the NoDataBehaviors set to BlankPage, you should still get a
    page when exporting a report regardless the data provided. In my testing
    with the example you mentioned below, I reconfigured the second repor…

    in Presetting Printer for Preview Archivereader Comment by nicocizik November 2010
  • Hi Olaf,

    In my testing with your exact code and RB 12.02, everything seems to
    function correctly. If I preview an archive, then load the print dialog and
    change the printer to something different than the one selected in the …
  • Hi Oalf,

    When setting printer options with the Archive Reader, you need to use the
    OnInitializePrinterSetup event. This will ensure your settings are honored
    when printing the Archive file.

  • Hi John,

    You can place the memo inside a stretchable region, then set the region's
    KeepTogether property to True. This will force the memo to move to the next
    page if it spans across the page break.

  • Hi Gary,

    Either way should work. Making a call to ArchiveReader.Reset closes and
    frees the file stream if you are reading from a file. If you create a
    different reader and free it, the same will occur.

  • Hi Bas,

    Once you cancel the report, you no longer have access to the pages
    generated. Notice that when you cancel in the Previewer, the ability to
    navigate is removed once the cancel button is pressed. Making a call the
  • Hi Jon,

    The easiest way to create this report would be to let the database handle
    the calculations and create a aggregate table as you mention. This would be
    as straight forward as creating the table, connecting it to a simpl…
  • Hi Ken,

    I believe the demo exports the report to stream, then saves it to file to
    show that the stream data is valid. We delete any existing files in case
    one of the previous buttons was pressed to start with a clean slate.
  • Hi Tony,

    We recently updated our Delphi XE installations with Update 1 and did not
    experience any TeeChart issues. Try running the RBTeePackBuilder
    application and see if that helps resolve any issues. The RBTeePackBuilder <…
  • Hi Ricardo,

    Take a look at demo 92 located in the \RBuilder\Demos\1. Reports\...
    directory. This shows how to use a data aware TeeChart inside a report.
    Note that you need to alter the top of the main project file (remove the…
  • Hi Steve,

    The Pipeline.Open procedure is not natively available to RAP. You can try
    creating a pass-thru function that opens a certain pipeline manually so you
    can access a given dataset.

    See the RAP demos located …
  • Hi Will,

    Are you using a method similar to the example located in the \Demos\4.
    EndUser Databases\InterBase\2. dbExpress\.. directory? This shows how you
    might set up a end-user solution using ClientDatasets. I believe we ha…
  • Hi Will,

    For RB 10, we added a new feature to the ReportExplorer removing the need to
    access the Template field of the Items dataset every time it needed to be
    accessed. This drastically increased the speed and efficiency of …
  • Hi Jordi,

    I'm sorry but I am unable to recreate this behavior with a simple example
    similar to your example below. If possible, please create a simple example
    that demonstrates this issue and send it in .zip format to
    s…
  • Hi Colin,

    We have made numerous enhancements to the text file device since RB 11. My
    first suggestion would be to upgrade to RB 11.08 and see if that perhaps
    fixes the issue. If not, I suggest either downloading a trial copy…
  • Hi Philip,

    Which version of TeeChart are you using? The TeeChartBuilder checks your
    Delphi registry for the version of TeeChart you have installed. Since
    TeePro100 does not exist as a valid TeeChart version, there must be an…
  • Hi Peter,

    Does this behavior occur with every report you create and preview? Are the
    labels bold when printing to paper? If so, I first suggest upgrading your
    version of ReportBuilder to RB 7.04 and seeing if that solves the…
  • Hi Peter,

    As a test I installed TeeChart 7 and ReportBuilder 11.08 with D2006 on my
    machine and ran the RAP demos. The TeeChart code seemed to compile and
    function correctly. Perhaps try reinstalling TeeChart and ReportBuild…
  • Hi Peter,

    This is not a known issue. Which version of ReportBuilder are you using?
    Are you able to run the RAP TeeChart demos located in the \Demos\0. RAP\...
    directory?

  • Hi Cristiano,

    For future reference, please send all attachments to
    support@digital-metaphors.com rather than posting them here.

    I tested your example with Delphi XE Update 1 and RB 12.03 but was not able
    to recreate…
  • Hi Cristiano,

    We have not seen this behavior before. Are you able to recreate the issue
    with a simple demo app? If so, please send the example in .zip format to
    support@digital-metaphors.com in .zip format and we'll take a l…
  • Hi Toby,

    Take a look at the following article on how dates are formatted in DADE.
    Also be sure you have your database type set to MS Access in the Database
    settings.

  • Hi Rick,

    Are you using Letter sized paper (8.5 x 11 in)? If not, the numbers will be
    different. If it is always possible to use a more precise number as the
    paper height either by making it accurate to another decimal or usi…
  • Hi Rick,

    Looking at our previous correspondence, I believe we have covered this
    before. Below is an excerpt from a previous email I sent in June.

    The reason the height of the file is more than 2200 is that…
  • Hi Stef,

    If you are making adjustments to report components based on screen
    pixels, then yes, changing the screen resolution (ppi) will have an
    effect on your output.

    A workaround is to either use a different measur…
