  • Dirk,

    Try hooking a subreport to your datapipeline and letting that automatically
    traverse the data for you first to last. For a master-detail example check
    out Demo 61 at \RBuilder\Demos\1. Reports\dm0061.pas for an example th…

  • Pekka,

    It turns out that the F12 function to toggle between the code and form
    windows is much more difficult to implement than the other "shortcut"
    functions. In ReportBuilder 7, we did improve the minimizing capability by
  • Thanks for the suggestion. We'll put it on our to-do list.

  • Pekka,

    When the ReportBuilder Designer is in focus, the complete Delphi IDE is
    taken over. Therefore all shortcut keys will not work. The easiest way to
    solve this is to just minimize the ReportBuilder window completely when i…

  • Nols,

    Please do not cross post.

    We've tested TeeChart 6 with ReportBuilder 7.02 and Delphi 7 and there are
    no known issues.

    1. Try re-installing RB after TeeChart 6 is already installed as noted in
    the RBui…
  • Markus,

    Check to see that you have the Report.SavePrinterSetup property to true.
    This will save the printer setup for the life of the report so every time
    you call print, it will use the original printer setup you assigned from …
  • Lee,

    Check out demos 51 and 52 in the \RBuilder\Demos\1. Reports\ directory for
    an example of subset page numbering. The Subreport.ResetPageNo property
    should help you with the problem you are having.

  • Magnus,

    Below is a link to download an example that should help you with your needs.
    This example keeps a running total for a column in the dataset and can
    display it at the end of every page or at the end of the entire report.<…
  • Maria,

    Try creating an invisible TppVariable in each subreport and in the
    TppVariable.OnCalc event, updating the value of a TppVariable or TppLabel
    located in the main report. Be sure to use the OnCalc event to ensure the

    1. OnCalc: Use the OnCalc event handler when you want to perform
    calculations. The OnCalc event essentially only fires once for each record
    traversal during report generation ensuring correct calculations.

  • John,

    There is no record of a bug in ReportBuilder 6.03 that matches your
    description, however over the last two years many fixes and improvements
    have been made that could be related to the issue you are having. Please

    The print quality is a driver specific function that is accessed by the
    DEVMODE structure in the Windows GDI. The DEVMODE data structure contains
    information about the initialization and environment of a printer or a…
  • Karen,

    You will need to either create a database and make your customers load the
    server software or you could try using an 'in-memory' dataset. An example
    of an in-memory dataset is given by a product called Asta

  • Karen,

    Check out the Custom Dataview Templates Demo at \RBuilder\Demos\3.
    EndUser\2. Custom Data Views. Using Custom Dataviews with a JITPipeline or
    a TextPipeline would probably be your best bet in this situation.

    You need to download the latest version of ReportBuilder, Version 7.02 Build
    2... dated 03/17/2003. This will fix the error.

  • Nicolas,

    ReportBuilder 6 supports TeeChart versions 4.02 and 5.02. If you would like
    to use TeeChart 6 with ReportBuilder, you will need to upgrade to RB 7.02.
    For more information about TeeChart and ReportBuilder, please see t…
  • Randall,

    If you are not already doing so, try using the same Owner for the report,
    datasources, and datapipelines.

    Make sure you have this version installed and the problem should be fixed.

  • Josep,

    Set the Report.PassSetting to psTwoPass, making it a two pass report. Then
    you can check the Report.AbsolutePageCount and drop a label in the header
    and toggling its visibility in the Header.BeforePrint event.

  • Harry,

    Be sure the report is connected to the datapipeline by selecting the report
    | data menu option in the report designer.

    Hook the datasource to a DBGrid on the form to verify you have data at
    runtime. If none of…
  • Ron,

    Make sure the Report.PrinterSetup.PrinterName is set to Default instead of
    Screen. This should fix your problem.

    1. You will need to either obtain the latest update of Waler for
    ReportBuilder 7.02 or rebuild the Waler packages yourself. The article
    below explains how this can be done.

  • Trish,

    ReportBuilder does not have explicit Post Script support. You could try to
    generate to a report emulation text file and embed the escape sequence in
    the text. Then send the text file to the printer. Below is an article…
