  • Hi Stijn,

    The patch temporarily fixes the issue of the report loosing navigation
    control when selecting last page (or a large page from the outline)
    while the report is generating.

    You mentioned that you have a repo…
  • Hi Stijn,

    There is a patch available that should resolve the last page button
    issue. Send an email to support@digital-metaphors.com requesting the
    patch and I'll send that and the latest version of Grid Pack as well.
  • Hi Stijn,

    Are you using the latest version of ReportBuilder 14.02?

    When are you clicking the last page button? During generation, first
    pass, any time?

    Does this behavior only occur on certain reports or all t…
  • Hi Eliseu,

    Thanks, I will take a look at your example and get back to you as soon
    as possible.

  • Hi John,

    The code I gave simply shows how to directly access the TidSMTP object
    so you, the developer, can manipulate it as needed.

    ReportBuilder tries to keep a hands-off approach with Indy. It simply
    creates an I…

  • Hi John,

    I believe this is a function of the receiving server. In my testing
    with our own server, an incorrect email mailbox returns the SMTP 550
    error with the message "Invalid mailbox". It looks like the TidSMTP
    obje…

  • Hi Colin,

    What is inside the summary band? If you leave the summary band empty
    with the Newpage property set to True, do you also get an infinite page
    report?

    Another option would be to create a new empty report th…
  • Hi Adam,

    The TppScrollablePaintBox is not a TControl descendent itself. You can
    use its internal TPaintBox property or the Viewer itself to find the width.

    ppViewer1.Width

    or

    ppViewer1.ScrollablePai…
  • Hi Roman,

    This is not a known issue with RB 14.02. Are your customers getting
    this with every report they try to view and on every machine? Are you
    able to recreate the issue on your machine?

    Setting the SinglePag…
  • This is not a known issue for RB 11.08 or later. We have been using and
    developing ReportBuilder with Windows 7 64bit (aero enabled) for over a
    year now without issue.

    I would suggest downloading a trial copy of the latest ve…
  • Hi Wolfgang,

    In my testing with RB 14.02, Delphi 2007, and encryption enabled, I am
    unable to get an error with or without Range Checking on. Are you able
    to recreate this with a simple example I could run here? If so, pleas…
  • Hi Nuno,

    My first suggestion would be to upgrade your version of ReportBuilder to
    12.05 and re-test. This is a free upgrade for registered RB 12 users.
    Send your serial number and purchasing email address to
    info@digita…
  • Hi Jaime,

    It is not possible to create a new event handler from RAP however it is
    possible from Delphi. You could create a passthru function to do this
    if needed. Take a look at demos 41 and 42 in the main RAP demo for an
  • Hi Jaime,

    I would suggest first getting this working in Delphi, then moving the
    code to RAP. Once you create the TppDBText object, you can assign its
    band using the DBText.Band property. For more information on creating a
  • Yes, this patch should fix the other AV's as well.

  • There is now a patch available for RB 14.02 that will fix this issue.
    Send an email to support@digital-metaphors.com requesting the patch and
    we'll send it to you.

  • Sorry, I remembered from your other post that you are using D2007. I
    tested with that version and was able to recreate the issue. I will
    research further and get back to you as soon as possible.

  • Hi David,

    I've tested this using the exact steps you describe below and am unable
    to recreate the behavior. Which version of Delphi are you using? Are
    you able to recreate it with the end-user demo provided with RB?
  • Hi David,

    In my testing, I was able to change the datapipeline and field name
    successfully using the drop downs in the toolbar of the designer
    successfully. My example is using the Animals and Biolife tables of the
    DBDE…
  • Hi Temoc,

    Thanks for the info. Since you are able to get this to work before
    calling Print, perhaps we can get it working with an earlier event. Try
    moving your code to the OnInitializeParameters event of the report and
  • Hi Temoc,

    I would wonder if you could get this to work correctly even if you do so
    before the report is previewed. As a test, try executing your "waiting"
    code another place in your application (perhaps a temporary button), <…
  • Hi Temoc,

    From your description, it sounds like this is a timing issue more than
    anything else. It seems perhaps that the default printer has not been
    fully realized by Windows or your app before you are trying to print the …
  • Hi David,

    Thanks for the link.

    Indy is a very dynamic product in that it is perpetually being updated
    and changed. Since ReportBuilder only uses a very small portion of the
    product, it is generally our policy to fi…
  • Hi David,

    By default, Indy should attach files as attachments. ReportBuilder does
    not handle the attachment process. It simply gives the TidSMTP object
    the files to attach and Indy takes over from there.

    Are you u…
  • Hi David,

    This is not a known issue with RB 14.02 nor have we ever seen anything
    like this in the past.

    Which email plugin are you using to send emails? Which version of
    Delphi are you using?

  • Hi Kelvin,

    For the current version of RB, getting an "Accessing Data" message while
    the report hangs usually means you are generating a two pass report that
    is creating infinite or a large number of pages.

    As a test…
  • Hello,

    Setting the property SinglePageOnly should revert back to the old viewer
    used in RB 12. There is no threading used with this viewer. You can
    check the Viewer.Busy property to determine if the device is generating
  • Hi Richard,

    There are numerous ways to accomplish this type of report.

    1. Create a report with a single detail band and two section style
    subreports inside. Each subreport represents a single page. You can
    stretch…
  • Hi Roman,

    There is now a patch available for RB 14.02 that fixes the issues you
    mention below. Send an email to support@digital-metaphors.com
    requesting the patch and we'll send it to you.

  • Hi Roman,

    This appears to be a Delphi issue when using a double type. You will
    notice that if you place the exact code you have in RAP, into a Delphi
    event handler, you will get the same result.

    As for using varian…
