ERead Error RB6.02, Delphi5

rbuser

Sometimes when I open my project in Delphi I get the message "EReadError:
Error reading ppReport.DataPipelineName:Property does not exist"

Then a series of dialog boxes allows me to ignore this error which appears
for all subreports and DBText fields. After I "ignore" the errors, I inspect
the properties of all the reportbuilder components, and they seem fine - all
connected to the appropriate DataPipeline. Then, I can compile and run OK.

I upgraded from RB5 to 6.02 a few weeks ago and used the patch posted here
for TeeChart. Could the new version of 6.02 be causing problems in
master/detail reports- I have also seen flakiness in AbsolutePageCount.

Thanks for any hints.

You shouldn't get any messages, because it should be converted for you
automatically. Which version of Delphi are you moving from and to? The
DataPipelineName property is new in Version 6.

What behavior are you seeing with AbsolutePageCount? AbsolutePageCount will
only reflect the total number of pages that have been generated. You'll want
to use a Report.PassSetting of psTwoPass to be able to get the total number
of pages in a calculation as the report generates in the second pass through
the pages.
