Below are the fixes which are included in RB 7.0. What problems are you encountering in RB 6.03?
Fixes for 7.0
1. When an application did not have access to a printer, a 'Canvas does not allow drawing' exception was raised in some cases.
2. When loading a template, the PaperName may not be restored properly.
3. When printing to the printer, and the printer setup was changed, the report engine was not always reset.
4. When report archive file was too big to fit on disk, the archive device needed to free the streams and the temporary file.
5. Enhanced DBImage so that it can be assigned to a string field containing file references, which can then be used to load the images from the file.
6. When a data pipeline is used in a Master/Detail configuration (MasterDataPipeline/MasterFieldLinks) and the master field has a null value, exceptions were raised due to changes in Delphi 6, Service Pack 2.
7. When a crosstab attempted to compare null values to non-null values, an exception was raised under Delphi 6, Service Pack 2.
8. Crosstab raised 'List Index out of bounds' error when multiple subtotal rows were set to Visible = False.
9. When subreports contained columnar layouts, left-to-right traversal did not work properly.
Thanks for the quick response. I am not having problems at yet but they may arrive. I don't think that I will be upgrading to Delphi 7 for the next 6-9 months and will probably upgrade to RB 7.0 at that time. I have had experiences in the past where support for an older version of the product is discontinued when a new version is released. I would therefore like to apply all outstanding patches just in case. I am not saying that will happen in this case (I very much doubt it considering my past experiences with Digital-Metaphors have been excellent at worst) but there is no harm done in being careful.
