endless printing...

edited November 2001 in General
Hi,

Most of the time the printing of a report workds fine. However, in some
cases, the printing of the same report, using the same data, same
application, same employee, the report is printed, and AFTER that, the
printer spits out 30, 40, 50 pages with a header... Do you know what can
cause this?

Thanks, Mieke Janson

    I had the same problem where a RichEdit ran from Page 1 to Page 2.
    The Preview stated only 1 Page.
    But, there were 2 Pages.
    When printing I got Page 1, then Header of Page 2 printed, then repeated
    Page 2, in a loop.
    Had to turn off printer.
    I do not know what caused this.

    When a report prints correctly for the first time but not after that, it
    usually means that you'll want to make sure to reinitialize any variables
    you are using in your report in the Report.BeforePrint event. This would be
    the first thing I would look for.

    There is a TechTip newsgroup article on endless pages, which can be found in
    the General thread. It describes different scenarios which would cause a
    report to print infinite pages.

    Is there a Richtext component? Try putting the rich text in a memo as a
    test. Are you resizing any controls as the report is generating? Please,
    send us a working example report project so that we can reproduce the
    problem, to support@digital-metaphors.com Thanks.
