The IBO pipeline went out of date when the pipeline architecture was changed
for RB 5.5, which supports data pipeline linking, as well as hooking
multiple subreports to the same datapipeline. Our pipelines can connect to
any TDataset… -
If you're loading a report template, make sure to reassign the event
handler.

Check out the main reports demo. Look at demo #124- it shows how to change
the pagelist which should be sent to the printer.

In the second pass, the events get refired. To workaround this, perform the
calculations in the first pass only by placing using this boolean property
on the report:
if Report.FirstPass then
DoSomething;
Use a font like courier new 10 pt. Can the memo be reposistioned in the
band in order to print better?

I did manage to get hte AV in Win2K and the problem has been fixed. The
patch will be included in the next maintenance release. I 'm sending the
fixed unit to you via email which you can use in your project.

I'm running on a Win 2K machine and can't duplicate your problem. We

Sorry, to hear of your troubles. I'm talking to Roger Ash in a thread just

I would make sure to test the report on the printer when designing it,
instead of only in the previewer. Sometimes the printed output doesn't
match the preview, because RB generates using the printer canvas.

It has been fixed, but we can't send you a patch if you're using RB

the source to RAP.
