Archive device and PageRequest (D6 RB10 Win XP)

rbuser

Hi

I have been using the Archive device to produce a copy of a report which is
then filled into the database. This works well so I have no problem with
that.

I have recently created a batch printing area in my application which can
take a number of bookings and allow the user to print the documentation for
each with just a single click on a Print button and a single print dialog
usage.

Now the problem is that I am using the Print Dialog onClose event to add the
archive device and in that call I use clrMain.PrintDialog.PageRequest (where
clrMain is a TrsClientReport). But if I have say 10 bookings I only show the
dialog once and therefore cannot access the page request for the second,
third etc. print as the dialog has gone and I get an access violation if I
try.

Is there a way of preserving this page request object or is there another
property I can use that does not require the print dialog.

Regards

TppDevice.PageRequest is a public property. TppDevice is the ancestor of all
output devices (Printer, Screen, File, etc)

Try using the AfterPrint event to check

if (myReport.PrinterDevice <> nil) then // report printed to printer
lPageRequest := myReport.PrinterDevice.PageRequest

Tried it but got an acces viol. I then set it up in the before print and it
worked great.

Thanks for that.
