Starnge thread Error when trying to print

rbuser

I am using RBldr 6.03, D6.
I have a default printer set up that is working.

I have an IBX query with ppDBpipeline and report.
It works fine with devicetype screen - I am able to view the report.
When running within the IDE, as soon as I click the print button for the
report the program halts execution on thread $0000048C at 77F7705 ret. If I
click Run then the print dialog appears and I am able to print.
Note that I do not get the error when I run the program outside of the IDE.

RB 6.03 is not threadsafe. RB 7 is threadsafe. Please upgrade to RB 7 for
D6 if you want to run reports in a threaded environment. Contact
info@digital-metaphors.com with your full registration information to
upgrade.

Thanks Jim -
That was timely, I just got RB7 yesterday (not installed yet)
Just curious, what creates the threaded environment in my D6 app?
(In this app, I am using Indy 8.0.25, and IBX db components including Event
Alerter).

PS
I never heard back from you on getting the IBPipeline installed in D6 - did
you ever figure out how to do it?

I thought you were running reports in different threads as given by your
message title. If you have a query and pipeline on a form, then it should
just work fine. What event handlers do you have for this report? They will
refire when you generate the report to a printer that is different that the
one specified in the Report.PrinterSetup.PrinterName. Can you recreate this
problem in a simple demo? We can take a look at it here if you send a
simple working demo to support@digital-metaphors.com

I downloaded IBO 4.2. I installed the IBO packages and then installed the
IBO pipeline. It installed with no problems into D6 (UP #2), except that
there was no icon for it in the RBuilder tab. I could then connect it to
TIB_Datasource objects on the form.
