  • the first obvious thing i see is your ds variable should be initialized in the begin end. block at the bottom of the code page and set on first record not in the event of the databand.
  • your data set should not be connected to the band you are controling it's movement from code. the demo you downloaded runs fine, so you must be doing something wrong. zip and post your demo app in the binaries news group. in the meantime i will l…
  • if you don't want to use the overlay use the frame lines of each memo in the detail band create a duplicate set of empty memos in an unattached childband. add a detail footer can be 0 height to write code in its obp event to show the child band. …

  • what version and build no of fr4? ie : 4.6.106
  • NOTE THIS IS NOT OFFICIAL AFAIK At this time FR VCL is being adapted to the new D2009 features (unicode everywhere). A D2009-compatible version will be released in the near future and official announcement will be made when it becomes available.
  • use a header band above and the detailband. look at the main demo basic reports masterdetailsubdetail report for some ideas on how to layout invoices. or the nested group report if you want to use 1 joined query to supply all data. remember bands…
  • at the top of the code page declare a variable of type tfrxdataset var ds: TfrxDataSet; use this code either in the empty "begin end." block of code or in the onstart report event. ds := Report.GetDataset('frxDBDataSet1'); // use either th…
  • not inside the report. only from delphi through the tfrxreportcomponents onbeforeprint event.
  • they are on the page where you download the demo version. goto http://www.fast-report.com/en/download/fas...4-download.html scroll down the page to the documentation.
  • the gap between labels across the page set the bands column width and column gap the vertical gap is set by making the band height equal to label height + gap, leave bottom page margin at 0. this will give horizontal out put 1, 2, 3 for vertical …
  • look at the nested group or masterdetail subdetail report under basic reports. the concepts are the same, one is supplied data from a single joined query query, the second is from the tables directly. read the user manual and build some of the de…
  • it would be good if you posted what version or daily build you are using.
  • read the progammers manual on working with a list of variables in the report and how to pass values to them. best to do it after loading report and before calling showreport or preparereport. frxreport1.loadfromfile('path&filename.fr3); frxre…
  • see the file i attached to my reply in the binaries.

  • the main Demo in the demo version has about 95% of these reports covered. the others are covered in the other demos under the Demos folder. download the demo version of fr4 and from the same page dl the programmers manual and the users manual. rea…
  • haven't seen it in the newsgroup yet. newsgroups.fast-report.com fast-reports.public.binaries.

  • check the print quality settings in the printer driver.
  • first thing to understand is the report engine option settings. default is convert nulls true this converts nulls to 0 if numeric or empty string if a null string. to check for null you must set this property to false or check for 0 if numeric or …
  • on your delphi fastreport 4 pallete add tfrxdialogcontrols to underlying delphi form. it will then be available in your fr design tool pallete
  • zip and post it in the binaries newsgroup better yet would be to save the report as an .fp3 from the preview and include it

  • if your vertical lines always start at a fixed point on the output page like a preprinted form use an overlay band for the vertical lines.

  • Haegar i can't be sure of this as i am not running a vista box currently but i expect in has something to do with vistas uac or pac
  • your not making any sense according to your first post. i gave you the method for the chart to only display the top 10 values. use a different dataset for the report, and don't connect the chart series to that dataset. again look at the report i …
  • use a query to supply data your sql statement is the key ado sample from the main demo addin objects chart1 report. select TOP 10 * from country order by population desc
  • in your delphi 5 do you have ado components? in installation of fr4 did you include the frxadocomponents when installing and did you include the tfrxado components on the underlying delphi form ?
  • count function is available just like sum function. don't try reading fr4 documentation for free report to many differences. ill post a couple of old fr2.? help files in the free report news group for you later to day or early tomorrow.
  • Dawson its been a long time since i worked with 2.32 IIRC all you need in the memo is fieldname]*[fieldname you only use the sum function when summing values of multiple records.
  • Peter you can set your language at install time you only need to add the resources if you want to have more than one language. down load the programmer's and user's manual. read the programmers manual as working from Delphi, and the users as work…

  • unfortunately no. it actually produces merged cells when exported to xl. however they can be edited in xl. select the cell then set the format unchecking the merge cell options, then copy the cell and paste into desired range.
  • see the main demo look at the simple group report, under basic reports, set the group header band to start newpage
