  • Hi Mike,

    It sounds like the IBO design-time plugin is not properly installed into
    the Delphi IDE. After you got the package compiled did you install the
    dcl package into Delphi?

  • Hi Mike,

    Inside the daIBO.pas file, the routine TdaIBOSession.GetTableNames is
    called before this error occurs. Try tracing into this routine and see
    if the StringList returned when calling Database.SchemaCache.TableNames
  • Hi Philip,

    Thanks for the info. There is now a patch available that fixes this
    issue. Send an email to support@ to get the patch.

  • Hi Philip,

    Have you applied any patches to RB 14.03 or is this the standard version
    installed?

  • Hi Philip,

    Which version of ReportBuilder are you using? Do you have any patches
    applied?

  • Hi Steve,

    In my quick testing with the DBDEMOS database, parameterized linking
    worked as expected. What database and connectivity are you using with
    your application?

  • Also, if you wish to use this type of linking, simply link two datasets
    as you would in the past (drag a field). Then you can access the
    linking dialog by double clicking the link line. From this dialog you
    can select the type of…
  • Hi Stephen,

    Sorry if I was unclear. You link the datasets the same way you would
    normally. The only thing that changes is that the linking is handled
    behind the scenes by the Delphi VCL rather than ReportBuilder. It would <…
  • Hi Steve,

    Parameterized linking in DADE function very similar to the VCL.

    In the VCL, a query component will have a property (MasterSource, etc.)
    that can be used to link a detail query to a master query. For the
    d…
  • Which version of Delphi are you using? Which hints are not functioning?
    I'm testing the hints for each toolbar item. I made a quick test with
    the ShowInPanel feature and the hints are still displaying as expected.

  • Kevin,

    Which version of ReportBuilder and Delphi are you using? In my testing
    with RB 14.03 and Delphi XE2 the hints are working as expected.

  • Hi Helmut,

    If you are using subreports, be aware that the page header and page
    footer bands are not supported in Child style subreports. One option is
    to use Section subreports. Another is to use the main report's header
  • Hi Helmut,

    I'm a bit unclear about the question. Do you simply need to print a
    running total at the end of a page, then show that value again at the
    beginning of the next. This can be done using a dbCalc component set to
  • Yes, keep the original file suffix so RB can properly associate the
    files with the Italian language setting.

  • Hi Nicola,

    When you choose English as your default language, the English .res files
    are simply copied into your RB library path (\RBuilder\Lib\...) and then
    automatically built into your .exe. These resource files are used as…
  • Hi Daniel,

    Which version of ReportBuilder and Delphi are you using?

    The LanguageID property was added for RB 12 when we added the extensible
    language architecture. Is it possible your user is trying to load a
    newer…
  • Hello,

    The report components are not properties the report itself, they are
    separate Delphi components.

    From Delphi, instead of trying to assign Report.Variable1.Value, you
    would simply assign ppVariable1.Value := …
  • Hi Keith,

    Rather than using a TppVariable and the OnCalc, try using a TppLabel and
    the OnGetText event.

    Text := IntToStr(Trunc(Report.Pipeline('PATI_TStampCR')));

  • Hi Julien,

    Generally this behavior is caused by either trying to send email from
    the Delphi IDE or trying to send an email while the email client is
    already open on your machine.

    Do you get this behaivor when runnin…
  • Hi Keith,

    If you would like to keep using non-stretchable components such as
    labels, you can place then inside a TppRegion and set the region to
    ShiftRelativeTo the upper stretchable component.

  • Hi Keith,

    Try setting the PrintHeight of the group header band to phDynamic. This
    will allow the band to grow as the stretchable components within grow.

  • Hi Bernhard,

    For RB 14, the page style has been changed to a page layer. It is now
    possible to create multiple page/band layers that print behind the
    actual report. To switch to a different layer, use the tabs inside the

  • Hi Philip,

    Since you are using Delphi XE2, this is likely a unit scoping issue.
    After opening the .dpk file, select the project options from the main
    Delphi menu and take a look at the "Unit Scope Names" section on the
    r…
  • Hi Jeroen,

    As a quick test I set my machine's font size to 125% and tried to export
    a JPG image to PDF using RB 14.05. This functioned correctly.

    My first suggestion would be to upgrade your version of RB to 12.05 and
  • Hi Richard,

    The InitializeReport routine that you copied below likely fires too
    early to have an effect on the loaded template so when the template is
    loaded, all your settings are overwritten. You will need to use the
  • Hi Bernhard,

    There is a patch available for RB 14.05 that solves this issue. Contact
    support@digital-metaphors.com to receive the patch.

  • Thanks Juliano,

    I will add these for the next release.

  • Hi Juliano,

    These are very new additions and are likely not translated to Portuguese
    yet. You can use the language translation tool to translate them
    yourself. Take a look at the documentation in the
    \RBuilder\Language…
  • Hi Steve,

    Which version of ReportBuilder did you upgrade from? In my quick
    testing using the page setup dialog, the left margin seems to be
    functioning correctly.

    Please provide the steps I can take to reproduce th…
  • Hi Bernhard,

    When you say you are writing a script, are you using RAP? I did a quick
    test with RB 12 and RAP expects the pipeline username rather than the
    name to access it's field values. This is the same way RB 14 works. …
