  • G'day, Would it be possible to post a "redacted" version of your Report Code here, so those of us with access to Source can check out why it is failing. Not sure if that is easy to do, but you might gain some insight yourself / yourselves…
  • OK. I am not aware of similar capability in FR. And it has been a very long time since I worked with QR. 🥴 Since the charting functionality comes from TeeChart can I suggest you ask on Steema's Forums? https://www.steema.com/support/index.php Chee…
  • G'day, Glad you worked out a solution that fits your requirements! I expect the investment of "six hours of trial and error" will pay you back many times over. 🤓 Cheers, Paul
  • G'day, I don't know what you have tried so far, or what sources of information you have looked at. But, if I understand your question correctly, this is very easy to do. In fact I was working on a Chart Report only yesterday that shows three Bars…
  • G'day, Have tried "inheritance"? The Reports in our biggest Project are all based on inheritance from a Template Unit, and aTemplate FR3 File. All of the common functionality is in one Delphi Unit. This allows us to have a common look, f…
  • G'day (again) Francisco. (Amazing what walking away and having something to eat will do...) On reinspection the source code showed that while TfrxPreview does make the method (and property) Public, it is not that Component that is used to declare th…
  • G'day Francisco, I've had a quick look at the source (we have a licence for v2022.1.6 Enterprise of FR Vcl) and am "puzzled". In theory you should be able to call the Last method of the Preview Object. (That is in fact what the Event Hand…
  • If your v6.9 licence included the source code you can build the necessary modules yourself. Installation is a bit of a chore, but is "doable". Revert if you want some clues 😉 Cheers, Paul
  • G'day Jan, (Sorry I don't read or speak Dutch.) A few questions: What have you tried to do so far? At what point in the processing for the Report do you need to "adjust" the SQL? Can you confirm that the ADO Query is linked to your Report…
  • No worries Tony. It can be a bit hot and steamy in Noosa at this time of the year! Cheers, Paul
  • G'day Tony, Assuming that your "frxpdf" is an instance of TfrxPDFexport, and "pdialog" is a Boolean variable / constant, then that should have worked. We have something similar in our Projects (which were converted from FR VCL…
  • OK I retire defeated! "Bin" is not there although "Duplex", "Orientation" and other Properties (we regularly use) are. Over to GPI and the FastReport Team... Cheers, Paul Screenshot from v2021.3.1: https://forum.fast-re…
  • I am not near a PC right now, so I can't check this, but... Have you tried selecting a Page in the Designer? From agèd memory there is a button on the Toolbar. I'll have another look when I am back in the office... Cheers, Paul
  • G'day Peter, That looks to me like the TfrxReport Component (in the Object Inspector pane). The property you need as GPI pointed out is in the TfrxReportPages Component. His instructions were for you to access the Property via the Report Designer …
  • Peter, Where did you look? I can see "Bin" in the TfrxReportPage Component. Have you tried something like: TfrxReportPage(frxReport1.Pages [1]).Bin or .BinOtherPages to access the Bin Number? Cheers, Paul My German Grandma used to say &q…
  • G'day Mirko, If your main problem is the "Headers and Footers", have you tried to use TfrxGroupHeader and TfrxGroupFooter? You just need to "engineer your Query to make sure each set of three has the same value in a Field you choose …
  • That makes sense, Sergio. We sometimes have problems with Norton Data Protector which throws a series of "threatening" Exceptions when installing FastCube / FastReport. We've taken to calling a "ten minute" moratorium on Data P…
  • Perhaps you were hearing about our Earthquake yesterday and it "crossed over"
  • G'day Franky, As a fee-paying user too, I can't help you with "reduced pricing" But I did see a link on the main page saying "Try it for Free". Perhaps that will allow you to do your evaluations without / at low cost... https:/…
  • G'day Steve, "Melbourne" ???? I am sitting in Melbourne and I don't understand. Do you mean RAD Studio / Delphi v11? (aka "Alexandria"). FastReport v6.9 did support "Sydney" (aka RAD Studio / Delphi 10). If you are l…
  • G'day Franky, You are in the right place. I suspect you are out of luck there. Did you not see the announcements six months back changing the licensing arrangements for FastReport Vcl? It is now subscription only, and v6.xxx is no longer being sup…
  • Right. This doesn't seem to be something other FastReport Users can help with. It looks to me like there is some issue with InstallAware on your system. Have you raised a Support Ticket? https://support.fast-report.com/users/sign_in It might get …
  • G'day Gert, Some questions to help work out the root cause... Did you have a previous version installed? Did you fully uninstall it before installing 2021.3? I installed 2021.3 just last weekend on a couple of computers without incident (admittedl…
  • G'day Andreas, Glad it worked out OK for you. I note that GetIt is still saying (or was earlier this afternoon) that it will provide v2021.1 so that is a little odd. But the date on the entry was 10 September, so maybe the GetIt and FastInRush ver…
  • Good news Forumates! FastInRush has released 2021.3 with RAD Studio 11 support! See the Changes.txt file for details. https://www.fast-report.com/en/product/fast-report-vcl/changes/ Cheers, Paul
  • G'day Folk, I suspect there is a bit of a "lag" in getting the FastReport / FastCube / FastScript code "Delphi 11 Ready"! I've just checked our folders (we have FastReport Enterprise version 2021.2.8 installed), and there are n…
  • Can we have a bit more information? Which version of FastReport are you using? Which options are set with frxPDFexport Component? Which PDF standard did you choose? Cheers, Paul
  • OK Pavel. I think I need to build a basic test case to demonstrate a number of alternatve options. Then I might have some clear questions, with (hopefully) simple answers. Stand by! 😉 P.S. Adobe provides a useful starting point: https://helpx.adobe…
  • Thanks for the "hints" GPI. I'll look into this further, but I am still hanging-out for some discussion and guidance... 🤓 What I really need is some "best practice" advice on secure ways to do this from code, and not require the …
  • Sadly, the recent post on the FastReport Blog (14 May 2021) gives some information, but doesn't cover the new "Signature" Tab. Cheers, Paul https://www.fast-report.com/en/blog/show/make-PDF-from-Delphi-Lazarus-CBuilder/
