  • Hello,

    I am a bit unclear what you are trying to accomplish. You can connect your
    report to a JITPipeline and pull the data directly off your database from
    there. Then you will have control over how many times you would like t…
  • Hi Bill,

    Are you able to recreate the issue without using your custom viewer? There
    are no known issues of this kind with the TppCommunicator. You might try
    downloading a trial edition of RB 7.03 and testing with that.
  • Hi Paul,

    ReportBuilder 6.03 is not compatable with Delphi 7. Please consider
    upgrading to ReportBuilder 7.03.

  • Hi Steve,

    Try using the OnDrawCommandClick event of a component to allow a user to
    click on an object and then perform some other task. The OnDrawCommandClick
    event fires when the draw command that represents the component in t…
  • Hi Trhia,

    Be sure your report does not reside on a DataModule. Try moving the report
    object to a form and see if this changes anything. Regardless, it is never
    a good idea to try to run a report on a DataModule.

  • Hi Trhia,

    The Database information is saved down in the Report Template when designing
    a report. You will either need to change the name of the database used in
    your second app to match the one in your first one, or manually ed…
  • Hi Luis,

    Your best approach would be to use TppVariables to make all your
    calculations. Place variables in your header and detail bands and in the
    TppVariable.OnCalc event, pull the data directly out of the pipeline to be
  • Hi Joe,

    Which font/size/style are you using? I just tested with Arial, 12, Bold and
    the results were identical. This could be a printer driver issue. Be sure
    you have the latest update for your driver installed. Also, try pr…

    As far as I know, the digital-metaphors.public newsgroups are open to
    Tamaracka searches.

  • Hi Bobby,

    Try placing Report.PreviewForm.Close inside the Report.OnPrintingComplete
    event. This will close the preview form after you print.

  • Hi Larry,

    One way you could try would be to traverse your tree structure ahead of time
    and build an index of the nodes to be printed. You can assign each node a
    unique id and place them in a TStringList object. Then using a JIT…
  • Hi Graeme,

    I am having a little trouble understanding the layout of your report. Do
    you have a subreport inside a region in your detail band that traverses
    through the expenses? If possible please try to create a small example…
  • Hi Massimo,

    The DBCalc does not have a bug that we know of. In some cases, it is better
    to use variables rather than a DBCalc depending on the design of the report.
    If possible, please send a small example demonstrating the iss…
  • Hi Massimo,

    Instead of using DBCalcs, try using TppVariables instead. Place a variable
    in the detail band and in its OnCalc event update the value of another
    variable in the footer after pulling the data directly out of the
  • Hi Sergey,

    Depending on the complexity of your report, you can set the
    TppDetailBand.PrintCount property to only show a certain amount of records
    per page. You will need to be sure the DetailBand is set to phStatic to get
  • Hi Bill,

    In my testing I was able to get the PageLimit property to work correctly
    from the TppViewer. It also printed the correct pages. Below is a link to
    the test program I created. Let me know if I'm completely on the wron…
  • Hi Bill,

    You can get access to the Report object from the viewer by type casting the
    TppViewer.Report object as a TppReport. Something like the following:

    (TppReport(ppViewer1.Report).PageLimit := 100;

    If you p…
  • Hi Bill,

    I created a quick example that does what I think you are trying to do. Be
    sure you set the GroupFooter to phDynamic and the shape to
    StretchWithParent. Hope this helps...

  • Hi Alex,

    Are you loading a template as your report? Be sure your template was not
    created in landscape mode before you load it. If you still have an issue,
    please send a small example in .zip format demonstrating the problem t…

    There should be no reason you can't change the PrintHeight of the detail
    band. Is this property disabled? Please send an example of this behavior

  • Hi Felix,

    Check to see that your printer driver is the latest available. This could
    also be due to a corrupt install of your printer driver. Are you able to
    print correctly from another printer?

  • Hello,

    You can access the text font size by using the TppLabel.Font.Size property.
    Other than this, there is no other way to increase the size of a TppLabel
    component.

  • Hi Doug,

    For future reference, please post questions as new posts.

    You can access the band objects of a subreport by using the
    Subreport.Report.Bands TList property.

    Subreport1.Report.Bands[i];
