First, run your project through a memory resource analyzer to search for
memory leaks. Otherwise, you are running up against the limitations of your
machine. After CachePages is turned off, there isn't much else to reduce the
memory u… -
When I run it, keeps locking up the Win98 machine. I'm gonna keep trying
other different drivers today.

Which exact Win98 printer driver can be used to duplicate the problem? We'll
download this driver and test it. Can you send a simple test report project
with this image in it? support@digital-metaphors.com

Is it not feasible to create the data entry form using lines, shapes and
labels in the page style band of the report instead of creating an image?

What components are you trying to print in the report?
The drivers for these printers are going to be specific to a particular
operating system. Try upgrading the drivers from the manufacturer, or test
with the HP Laserjet 4 dr… -
One question: Is there a big image (logo, background, etc.) on each page?
Also, we have run reports here with tens of thousands of pages, but memoy
usage all depends on what the report contains....

When the pages are being generated, they exist in memory. Once all of the
pages have been generated, then they are sent together as one print job.
During generation, if the memory limit is reached, RB is supposed to write

Try setting the Report.CacheManager.CacheType to ppCTFile at runtime.

I misunderstood what you are doing. The groups can only be based off of the
datapipeline that the report is connected to. This is intentional.

The only way that fields won't show up in the group dialog, is if the
underlying dataset isn't open.
Double click on the data pipeline on the form- are there fields in the

What version of RB are you using?
At runtime, are the printer dialog properties showing portrait or landscape?

On the label paper itself, I dropped a ruler on it, and there appears to be
roughly 0.50 inches of space available below the bottom row of labels.
There is a 0.25 unprintable area on my printer. That would leave roughly

The 5160 label paper is the same size as a letter format. Try using a
footer band instead of the page style band. I pulled out the avery labels

Try placing a system variable set to count the pages, in the PageStyle band.
This band prints behind all of the detail bands. Just resize the PageStyle
to be the size of the page.

Yes, you can create reports in the run time designer. It is called the
EndUser Designer, but in fact it is only because it is scalable, where you
can control which components that the user can see in the toolbar. The cool

We recommend creating the end user reports at runtime with the end user
report designer. Yes, the report and its components which you create on a

We have a conversion bug on our hands.
You won't be able to edit and save the RB 4.x reports in RB 6. However, you
should be able to run them (preview and print) with RB 6, just as you did in
RB 4.
What exact version … -
Yes, the master-detail report architecture changed when this property was
deprecated. See my response to your previous post, which suggests creating a
subreport which will print the detail data in the master report.

In subsequent versions of RB, since our manuals were printed, we improved
the preview form logic so that it could also be replaced in the end user
designer. The manual is out of date for this topic. We have this on our todo
list.
Try resetting OnGroupEnd.
I don't recall any specific fixes to the TppVariable since 5.55, but I would
recommend upgrading to RB 6.03 to see if that fixes the problem. It is a
free upgrade. Contact info@digital-metaphors.com wi…Stick them in a stringlist (or maybe use a couple of lists), as the report
