<COMPANY> makes report crash

I am new user, tried searching the forum but search results seems very limited.

I have a simple report with one datafield showing COMPANY.
Preview is fine. Create PDF is fine. Company shows both places. All good.

Then I add a Memo with (i also tried COMPANY
Preview is fine. Create PDF crashes, it hangs forever.

There is only 1 record in the Customer table.

I have tried setting the pipeline at runtine, both on the report and the memo.

What am I doing wrong ?

  • Hi Dennis,

    Welcome to the ReportBuilder community!

    Please update your user information with your full name and company name so we can verify registration information.

    Please also let us know which version/edition of ReportBuilder and Delphi you are using.

    This is not a known issue with the latest version of ReportBuilder. Which exact components are you using (i.e. TppDBText, TppDBMemo, TppDBRichText, TppRichText with mail-merge)?

    Doubleclick it to edit, pipeline is shown.
    I drag a dbfield from the pipeline and it shows, preview shows data as expected.
    Then I add a TppRichText (I have tried the other one you write too).
    contect is simple (COMPANY) like the dbfield. and using the brackets <
    The preview is good, boths the dbfield and the memo shows the Company.
