Version 12.05
For information regarding what's new for this version, please see the 'What's New' section
of the on-line help.

Prior installations
The installation program will automatically detect and delete any existing version of
ReportBuilder for Delphi 6 installed on your system. The entire root directory in which
ReportBuilder is installed will be deleted. It is therefore imperative that you backup any
custom work that may reside in this directory before installing this version. The default
install directory is now:
$(DELPHI)\RBuilder
This directory is used regardless of whether you are installing ReportBuilder Standard,
Professional, or Enterprise. Note that it is still permitted to have multiple versions of
ReportBuilder on the same machine if they are installed with separate Delphi versions.

Delphi 2009 Release Notes:

1. dbExpress support
ReportBuilder can be used with the dbExpress TSQLClientDataSet component.
ReportBuilder does NOT support undirectional datasets and therefore cannot be used
with TSQLDataSet, TSQLQuery, TSQLStoredProc, and TSQLTable.
When using a TSQLClientDataSet with a ReportBuilder report, simply connect a
DBPipeline to a standard Delphi DataSource component.
In order to use the query tools available in the Data workspace of the Report Designer,
the Designer component must be configured as shown in the end-user database example
in: ...\RBuilder\Demos\EndUser Databases\Interbase\dbExpress.

2. Issues with Frames

Frames (TFrame) in Delphi are containers that enable collections of components to be
visually configured and re-used. Unlike form inheritance, however, Delphi does not
permit new components to be added to frame descendants (i.e. frames embedded on
forms or other frames).
Therefore, if a Report object is placed on a frame, the report layout must be maintained
entirely in the top level ancestor. You cannot access a form containing the frame and add
report components, nor can new report layouts be loaded from templates.
ReportBuilder's DBPipeline and BDEPipeline components cannot currently be used with
frames. Both of these components automatically create Field components (i.e.
AutoCreateFields) when a dataset is opened. This behavior will cause access violations if
a data pipeline is placed in a descendant frame.

Installation Notes
1. Install ReportBuilder
The installation program will copy files into the ...\RBuilder directory, add the
ReportBuilder components to a 'RBuilder' tab of the Delphi component palette, install the
ReportBuilder help into the Delphi help system, and install TeeChart support (if you have
TeeChart installed).
If after installing ReportBuilder and launching Delphi, you do not see the RBuilder tab on
the Delphi component palette, access the Component | Install Packages menu option, go
to the bottom of the package list, and check each of the ReportBuilder packages. If the
packages are already checked, access the Component | Configure Palette menu option
and move the RBuilder tab up the list, positioning it right before the 'Data Controls' tab.
This will allow you to see the RBuilder tab without scrolling right on the Delphi
component palette.

2. Review the on-line help

If it appears that ReportBuilder is not installed correctly, use the information in the online help to troubleshoot your installation. The on-line help is located in the RBuilder.hlp
file in the RBuilder\Help directory. From the table of contents, select 'Installing
ReportBuilder'.

3. Convert Reports
ReportBuilder will convert reports that were created with previous versions. Please backup your existing reports before beginning the conversion process. Reports converted to
the current version will not be useable by previous versions of ReportBuilder.

The first time you open your reports, a conversion routine will run, assigning the values
of discontinued properties to their new counterparts. Simply opening and closing a form
(and saying Yes to the Save Changes? dialog) is enough to convert the reports contained
therein to the current format. If you have reports in RTM files, load the RTMs into a
report object at Delphi design-time and then save the RTM to file. Due to the nature of
the conversion routine, it will take at least 1-2 seconds for the routine to run when
converting reports created with a version previous to ReportBuilder 4.0.
