  • G'day Galin, I don't know about "pinning" - one of the FastReport staffers who visit here may comment on that. But as to getting the Delphi Form "Field Link Designer" I expect the FR team are relying on Embarcadero's documentation for that(!) …
  • G'day,. Have you tried using a ReportFooter instead of the PageFooter? Tsch??ss, Paul
  • It may not serve your purpose, but we have about ten Chart-type reports where the User wants to be able on occasion to use Excel or similar for post-processing. The way we addressed this was to add our own button to export the dataset that drives…
  • One question to start: Have you set the Report to "double pass"? Cheers, Paul
  • Have you tried the recompiler which would have been installed with FR Vcl 6? Open the Recompile App from the Windows Menu, and select your language there. Cheers, Paul EDIT: Added image to clarify...

  • G'day Galin, For FR 5 Vcl try https://www.fast-report.com/public_download...L-en/index.html I've not checked if you're right, but we keep our own "Wayback Machine" and the old manual link still seems to work... Cheers, Paul
  • [Sigh] We took a punt and installed this new revision (in the Pro edition) on a test machine. The changes.txt file included contains no detail of additions / fixes for 2.7.2. In fact it looks suspiciously identical to the file installed with 2…
  • It may help you to read previous discussion on this: http://www.fast-report.com/en/forum/?p=/discussion/14801 Cheers, Paul
  • If you believe you have found a bug in the Product, you should raise a Support Ticket, providing as much supporting information as possible. https://support.fast-report.com/users/sign_in Ideally you should create a minimal example that clearl…
  • G'day Junior. We have a lot of reports in our major app which use both types of inheritance: Vcl Form containing frxReport component instance, and supporting components and code; and FR3 inheritance preserving look-and-feel etc. It takes a bit…
  • G'day CCY. What Charset value do you have for the Font? We had a similar problems displaying currency symbols (OK in Preview but not in PDF) a while back. The discussion at the following link may help you... http://www.fast-report.com/e…
  • G'day Eli. How long since you installed FR? Do you have any reports working? You can certainly use FRv6 Standard with ADO - our main App has over 25 reports based on it (as well as some using FireDAC/SQLite). I think the FQBclass unit is no…

  • G'day Sako, Not sure what you have tried, or what limits you have on your approach. But yes you can do this. All of the reports in our main application show data from the opened database's Control Table. In some cases the "subtitle" field in …
  • No further forward in v6.1.6 sadly. [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/sad.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":(" border="0" alt="sad.gif" /> We are working around this "limitation" by exporting all landscape reports to pdf, and usin…
  • No further forward in v6.1.6 sadly.
  • That's it. The FR Support / Documentation page for FMX says, "Use the documentation for FastReport VCL. It is compatible."
  • Which version are you using? There have been a few fixes to PDF rendering in V6 recently. Such as last week... Have you raised a Support Ticket for this? Cheers, Paul
  • Looks to me like the ".1" is being treated as a file extension, and is being replaced with ".JPG". Have you tried naming the file "M-ticket-1" or similar? And what about "M-ticket.1.jpg"? Cheers, Paul
  • Just to be clear, are you asking for each sub-report to be numbered independently, or do you want the numbering to be "seamless"? For example, say Invoice is one page, and Report is three pages, do you want the four pages in the PDF numbered: …
  • Excuse what may be a dumb question, but... You've omitted the parameter in both calls to PrepareBatchReport. I don't have FastReport or the manual available at the moment, but I think you need to specify "False" in the second (and subsequent) ca…
  • G'day Rolf, I am not sure what you've tried and whether my test serves your needs, but I've been able to export to A3 in FastReport Vcl 5. The "trick" was to set PageOptions width / height to the appropriate values for A3, before calling Expor…
  • I'd like to endorse Lurking K1w1's response. And cheekily add that 0.25 is 1/4 not 1/2 (0.50)! The code above only catches two cases. Would it not be better to create a function that presents decimal amounts as the closest vulgar fraction? …
  • G'day Pat, I fear this may be one of those issues solvable only by upgrading to v6.x. The PDF engine has been significantly reworked in the FR V6 package. Are you able to avoid this problem by converting the WMF yourself. Do you get the sam…
  • G'day GB, When you installed v5.6.8 (and ran recompile) what setting did you use for Teechart? If you don't remember (5.6.8 was a while back) you could fire up Recompile to see what is set there. Assuming you haven't licensed a different ve…
  • G'day Galin, Sounds to me like the report you are looking at has elements inherited from another report. I don't have access to FastReport Editor right now, so from memory, there is an option in the Editor's menu / toolbar to set the options f…
  • Have you checked out the new FastReport V6 User Manual? https://www.fast-report.com/public_download...L_EN/index.html Cheers, Paul
  • Can't comment directly on your issue, but good to see you've put some effort into solving it yourself 😎 Have you raised a Ticket with Support? I find they are pretty quick to respond. https://support.fast-report.com Cheers, Paul
