RBServer invalid property value

rbuser

Hello,

I have reports from RBuilder 9.02 saved in a database.

I am trialling RBServer and when running one of the demo client/server
programs, printing an existing report generates the error:
Error reading pReport.OnGetAutoSearchValues: Invalid property value.

The report has one table, two fields, no search parameters.

How are reports designed with the RBServer version? The demo client had
no design option when opening (right-clicking) a report. Do I have to
use a 'normal' RBuilder connection (i.e. direct connection to the database?)

Any help is greatly appreciated.

AJ,

Please configure your newsreader to post using your full name, rather than
AJ. And no need to post the same question twice

RB Server Edition installs both RB Enterprise and RB Server. You use RB
Enterprise to create and modify reports. (If you need a remote connection
you can use DataSnap). RB Server enables reports to be previewed by remote
clients and web browsers.

The message 'Error reading pReport.OnGetAutoSearchValues: Invalid property
value' indicates that the report being loaded by the server contains an
event-handler reference that cannot be resolved. When you originally created
and saved the report you had a Delphi code event-handler assigned to the
Report.OnGetAutoSearchValues event. When the report is saved, the VCL
streaming system saves the same of the method as the property value. When
the report loads, the VCL streaming system attempts to resolve the name. The
solution is to either load the report in the designer and resave it without
the event-handler reference or add the event-handler as a published method
of the DataModule containing the ReportVolume. There are examples of this in
the RB Server Developers Guild installed with the product.
