RichText LOADFROMFILE not working

rbuser

We upgraded to RB6 a couple nights ago and have found an apparent
incompatibility from earlier versions like 5.6.

The LOADFROMFILE(filename) now does not load our rtf document. We get no
error but the file is NOT loaded. Are we missing something? Has anyone
experienced this issue?

Thanks, Dan

Just tried it here and it works fine. I do not think anything related to
loading rtf data has been modified for D6. I added a TppRichText to a
report and coded

ppRichText1.LoadFromFile('c:\Program
Files\Borland\Delphi6\Install.Rtf');


Perhaps you were using ReportBuilder's Infopower support. In that case
you would need to recompile the rbIP* package. Check out
RBuilder\InfoPower\ReadMe.doc.

For this particular application we were using Delphi 4 and RB5.6 and it
worked fine. After upgrading to RB6 it quit working. Could there be a
problem with Delphi 4 and RB6?

Tried it with D4 and RB 6 but still could not reproduce a problem. Try
the code I showed below. If that works, then construct a simple Delphi
project that demonstrates the issue and e-mail to
support@digital-metaphors.com.

You can also try testing with a different printer driver - that could
play into things since Windows depends on the driver to do the
formatting. And we use the driver even for preview.
