Our printers here print the rotated label without any problem. Try

What you can do is place the label in a region and set the region's color.
The region has a pen property which you can set the style to clear so there
won't be a border around your label.

I was about to respond to your question yesterday, when windows decided to
corrupt my registry/system files. Fun stuff. For your problem, what you
could do is download this demo below and try to run it. I ran this demo

Is this in the screen preview? See the article below. Are there any
regions/ subreports with the memo inside of it? I am curious to what other
components are in the report. Take out all the other components, and let

There is an issue when first report in an application loads there was a
performance hit because some printer initialization logic was firing. On
systems with slow printer drivers this caused a noticeable delay in loading.

There is a Readme file in the TeeChart directory in your RBuilder

Digital MetaphorsThe wheel mouse support is enabled with the driver I have installed. RB

I'm using Intellipoint 3.1 on Win2K and it doesn't want to work

Mousewheel support isn't built into the previewer. This was researched at
one time, but was pushed down on the to-do list, and hence, you found some

Sounds like you're using the dbText instead of a dbMemo. They are right
next to each other on the component palette. A dbMemo has a Stretch
property which will cause it to stretch vertically.
