Generating a Report using TRichEdit

How do I generate a report from a SQL database,
reading the fields into a TRichEdit, knowing the
length of the fields and their text discriptions and
going over to a new line if the fields and their
discriptions exceed the RichEdit components width (wordwrap is disabled) ?

why RichEdit?

The client wants a RichEdit report because they want to save the report as tab delimited file and they want to
edit the information in the report etc. The previous
reports before I got involved in the project was all done
with RichEdit's so I don't think they will change this.

A problem with the RTFExportFilter is that all components that need to be on one line of the RTF need to have their Top properties exactly the same.

Hi Gert,

Are you still here?

Hi Jaco

To save the file as RTF is not an option !
They want to save the file as a tab delimited file to
import and edit it in Excel.

Thanks

Hi Gert,

Then you might consider using:

procedure TForm1.Button1Click(Sender: TObject);
var
lFilter: TQRCommaSeparatedFilter;
begin
lFilter := TQRCommaSeparatedFilter.Create('test.csv');
try
QuickRep1.ExportToFilter(lFilter);
finally
lFilter.Free;
end;
end;

This will give you a file you can import into Excel.
