Thanks, I'll keep that in mind - We're about to go live and I don't really
want to upgrade to new version of anything. Good to know there is a
solution though I'd prefer one in 5.56.
Thanks,

That would make sense to me, however why then does it not happen the second
time a report is viewed?
-
I would believe that your printer driver is responsible for doing that--hp
printer, right? I don't think RB's product directly ties into the printer
driver.

Never Mind I figured It out.

Thanks. Now I have another problem.
The ppMemo.Lines were populated programatically from TMemo.Lines
ppMemo.Lines := TMemo.Lines).
How do I now populate the RichText control. RichText is a String and Lines
is TStr… -
I found that by Setting TabStops := 3 then set the individual tabs it works.
-
That's OK. I have accessed them through the Paragraph property.
Unfortunately nothing happens. I set a TAB[0] := 1000 and the column is in
the same position as not having set it at all.
I set the tab after I populate the ppRich… -
Are you saying that you cannot set tabs with ReportBuilder's RichText
Control?

Dale,
As I can now see, your suggestion was indeed part of the solution.
Jim Bennett of Digital Metaphors offered the same solution as you did, but
added a little bit more detail. That is what finally got me up and running… -
Jim,
Thanks! That did exactly what I had wanted.
I'll be back. :-)

Hi Dale,
Thanks for sharing this information. I experimented a little bit with this
but IMO found it to be awkward and not really what I want to do. It's my
belief that when an end user wants to view a report before printing it,… -

To: Whoever may be interested.
The following is what I ended up doing to get stored reports to work. Is
there anything wrong with this?

Jim,
Now it is working. Thank You. It will help others if needing Forms in the
uses clause is added to this subject in the tech-tips section.
WindowState would be a good candidate for a new property in ppReport.

Jim,
I do not understand how to implement your last instruction. I am using
Delphi6 and the ppReport component is in a data module. The data module
does not have a WindowState property. In Report designer if I select the
repor… -
Jim,
I already had ppTypes in uses. Here is my uses clause:
uses
SysUtils, Classes, DB, DBTables, ppCtrls, ppVar, ppPrnabl, ppClass,
ppBands, ppCache, ppDB, ppProd, ppReport, ppComm, ppRelatv, ppDBPipe,

Jim,
Thank You for the info. I added the handler putting in the name of my
TppReport component (rptAssembly) and added ppViewr to uses clause. Here is
the code I used
procedure TdtmJobRpt.rptAssemblyPreviewFormCreate(Send… -
Never mind - it was the Xerox drivers and the fact that it updated Internet
Explorer to v 5.5 - I ended up reloading Win 98 and Now RB works like it
always did. Lesson learned: buy hardware from a manufacturer who knows
software too.… -
A follow on question. There is no help that I can find on the Grid Options
properties under the view menu. The units for GRID size are not defined in
scope or meaning. Grid Size X 8, 8 what, inches, MM, etc, or does it take

From the TppReport perspective, it will be on the way to the printer after
you call TppReport.Print. But this just means it has been printed to the
printer driver. You … -
This is the first time I've used any RichText control. To set the
Report.Showmodal to false would be against my clients wishes and doesn't
really solve the problem. CachPages is already set to false. I have traced

What verion of RB are you working with?

Thanks for the quick reply Ed. I was able to get around this by removing
the OnPreviewFormCreate event from each report and creating it at runtime as
required.
Thanks.

Kevin:
I do the exact same thing, and don't get the error, so I am guessing that
something is wrong in a report.
Is it possible that the OnPre… -
Hi Jim,
I have the same error "Canvas does not allow drawing"
I have RB 6.01Enterprise, Delphi 5 Enterprise.
I would be very grateful if you could send me an update as well.
Thank you in advance.
Best regards,Please supply the patch to me as well as I get the same error on RB6.01
Enterprise and Delphi 6.0 Enterprise.

I see... Is there anything planned for RAP in the future that gives a bit
more of a conclusive error-message? The usual try/except in RAP would be a
very usuful feature (especially since commands in RAP can raise themThat seems like a common bug. The code should be "while not eof do Next"
instead of "repeat Next until eof".
