version 6.03 and a 'stream read error'

rbuser

Hello - i have two questions.

1) I currently have version 6.02 and i read that there is a version 6.03 -
is there are patch i can get to move to 6.03?

2) The second quesion is a little more important that i was hoping my first
question might fix - i had to rebuild my development environment and now
when i try to open any of my 40 reports that are saved in our database i get
a 'Stream Read Error'. I had been working with Delphi6 and RB6.02 for a
while now and am dont know what is going on.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

thanks

I'm hoping the database table is not corrupt. What database are you using?

Also, just to check the RB installation: can you load and save reports to
file - (from a vanilla app with a form?)

The table is not corrupt - my users are still able to print reports from the
last compiled version. We are using SQLServer2000

I created a temp project and was able to create a test report, save it to
file, then reopen it. I still get the error when i try to open one of the
reports saved in our database.

rbuser

just to narrow it down:

in my rebuilt environment i can create new reports and save them to the
database but i can not open any existing reports including the new ones i
just created

very weird and frustrating

rbuser

applied update pack 2 to delphi6 and everything works now

didnt have that patch before - oh well

If you are using the BDE then the following is applicable:

--------------------------------------------
Tech Tip: Trouble Shooting Error Loading
Report From Database
--------------------------------------------

Check the BDE configuration setting for BlobSize.
This value defines the maximum size for a blob.
The default value is 32, which is too small for
most reports.

Increase the size to 1024 or 2048 to accommodate
your largest report definitions.

If you are using a BDE Alias:

1. Select the Database | Explore menu option
from the Delphi main menu.

2. Select to the appropriate database alias from
the list of databases.

3. Modify the BlobSize setting from the list of
properties on the right.
