Windows Service

TECH TIP: Executing Reports in a Windows Service Environment

1. Configure that report to suppress all dialogs   

   Report.ShowPrintDialog := False;
   Report.ShowCancelDialog := False;
   Report.ShowAutoSearchDialog := False;

2. Provide a thread-safe environment/container in which the report can execute. See the RBuilder.hlp on the Background printing feature fpr details.
3. Typically a Windows service application executes under a special user account. To Print to the printer, you will need to install applicable printer drivers excplicity to the user account.
