QuickReport in Delphi 7

Published by Teddy Darmadi on November 14, 2008 under Cheat Sheet, Delphi, Programming

Just in case you don’t know that QuickReport is not included on Delphi 7 installation, here’s how to enable QuickReport:

  1. Open Delphi
  2. Click Components -> Install Package
  3. A component window will open. Click Add…
  4. Browse to Delphi7\bin and locate dclqrt70.bpl (QuickReport), dcltqr70.bpl (TeeChart for QuickReport), dcltee70.bpl (TeeChart)
  5. Click OK and you’re set.

Notice that the QuickReport component tab is now available.

Update: I forgot to add two additional Package, the TeeChart for QuickReport and TeeChart, that will be required to use QRChart capability.

Trouble Connecting to Windows Network

Published by Teddy Darmadi on November 10, 2008 under Cheat Sheet, Windows

I’m having a little trouble connecting to my own laptop from my newly installed PC. The problem seems to come from my PC, since other PCs connecting to my laptop work perfectly fine.

While browsing for solutions, I found a simple yet descriptive solution to my problem:

“On Windows XP, by default, you can not logon remotely (e.g. using a Network logon) if your user account does not have a password.”

Yes, it seems that I have to create a password for my account before I attempt to connect to other PCs in the network.

Wow, I’m using Windows this whole time and I didn’t realize this? :D
