Note that the installation of the Embarcadero Edition using GetIt did NOT result in a folder with the words "embarcadero edition" in it. Instead, it created folders that are named in parallel with the naming used when I installed FR FMX 2…

As it turns out, the remaining problem I'm having DOES relate to FastReport's GetIt distribution. That is, what one receives when using GetIt is a flawed installation program. It creates a FastReports configuration that results in your apps expecti…

For no reason I am aware of, GetIt suddenly worked in that I was able to install FR VCL and put FR components into my project. This led to a different problem for which I will post a separate message.

I have been informed by a helpful person on chat here on this site, that one must remove BPL files that the recompile utility needs to create. Apparently, it cannot delete them even though the recompile utility is unable do that for itself or does d…

Excellent. Now I will do that because I know it will not be a waste of time to try that approach.
-
Thank you for that information. My work-around currently provides the needed result, so I might continue to use it, but right now I am again trying to use Report.OnBeforePrint in order to use your advice. I do not remember why I abandoned that app…

I have implemented a work-around in the OnNext event for the Detail table. I simply keep track of whether the current record's id value is the same as the last time OnNext was fired, and if so, just exit; Since OnNext is apparently not fired for th…

In my initial tests, this perfectly addresses my need. Thank you for that. I will have to complete the long list of Child bands before I know if the height available in the IDE is sufficient to cover all of the data. If the expanded height I get w…

I am also creating a report that needs to include a variable number of images, so I am wondering if you were able to solve this question.

My current process correctly gathers the pages from multiple reports and assembles them into the Preview component that is assigned to one of the reports. (the first of multiple reports). This is accomplished using the following lines frxReport1.Pr…

https://forum.fast-report.com/en/discussion/comment/42623#Comment_42623 What is the proper way to un-assign a preview component to a report component? (so that I can choose the one and only Report component that will be tied to the Preview componen…

Ah, that sounds like it will work. I do not see AddFrom in the ProgrammerManual document I am looking at. Is there a different version of the document that has a reference to it?
-
That does seem like an approach that would work if it also works in FMX. If it's not too much work to distill it down to just 2 Report components and their output is appended in one Preview component, that would be nice. But I'm not asking you to s…
-
Thank you Paul. Yes, as long as the composite reports are not limited to various runs of one Report component, and this process specifically allows the output to be seen in just one Preview component, it might work for me. I can't find anything th…

On page 12 of FR4.6.ProgrammerManual-en.pdf I see that my attempt may be explicitly precluded by changes made in FR3. Here is some text from that page: "In the FastReport 3 version, one TfrxReport component can display only one report in the p…
-
Thanks. I have seen some info in the docs that says there are situations in which FR is somehow handling the memory, and I've run the code I listed and got no leaks. Unfortunately, using the code still doesn't avoid the problem of only the contents…

My modified scheme would also need this line at the top: frxReport2.Preview := nil;
-
Thank you. I am studying your suggestion. I see no reference to a second frxReport, such as frxReport2. Should the second PrepareReport line be the following? frxReport2.PrepareReport(False); If so, should there also be the following line? rxRepor…
