"Cannot Generate Report. Could not run program: GlobalOnCreate." Error

edited November 2001 in General
We have a user who is experiencing this problem when attempting to open a
report. Is the problem the rtm file corrupt? We are using RBP 5.0. The
reports were built in RBP 5.0 and being opened in RBP 5.0.

Any ideas?

Thanks.

    Hi Steve,

    (please change your news name, "Delphi User" isn't what we are expecting
    here, thanks)

    Did you check the GlobalOnCreate event, does it compile without errors?

    (BTW, you aren't using an actual ReportBuilder version, current version is
    6.03, the update is for free, if you didn't got any mail with update
    informations, contact sales@digital-metaphors.com).

    regards,

    Sorry, I changed my name.

    I don't want to upgrade to 6.03 right now because it would cause major
    issues. We have many, many customers using our product (maybe 10,000 users).
    Some users are remote and some are not. We have two separate applications
    that use RBP. If we upgrade to 6.03, it would cause ALL customers to UPGRADE
    ALL USERS. If a non-remote users upgrades to 6.03 and creates a report and
    sends that report to a remote user who hasn't upgraded, the report will not
    run and this will cause major issues. We have notified our customers that on
    1/1/2002, all of our versions will include the latest version (6.03). We
    gave the customers 6 months notice.

    Anyway, I believe I know what the issue is. Our consultant was doing logic
    on values that he assumed would not be blank but they really are. Therefore
    the code blows up.
