  • The issue is resolved. As it turns out, they didn't have 2 printers
    as I had been told. What they had was 2 print drivers (emulations)
    defined for the same printer (one of which was Post Script).
    Apparently, the program was trying t…

  • You made this just for me? Thanksalot - seems to do the trick!

    By the way, I believe there are now a lot of good coding tips accumulated in

  • Hello Chris,
    We have also the same problem and have made a pass-through which can convert
    html->RTF. I am not very happy with it, because there is an assignment
    necessary in RAP for each used RTF control. IE has a good and fast r…

  • Alexander,

    You guys are too good to be true.

    You actually put together some sample code for me?

  • Raf,
    i suppose there is nothing you can do...
    most probably your labelprinter isn't capable of handling windows data fast

  • Make the migration...you won't regret it

    I use two methods of achieving this;
    a) Either the variable is the result of an SQL query in which case I attach
    this to a data source and link this to a DbText component
    b) Otherwi…

    There are three pipelines: the master (invoice table), detail1 (the invoice
