Reportbuilder 6

edited July 2001 in General
I have several rather complex reports which use graphs. They are stored
in a database (Interbase) and I access them via the report explorer.

In Delphi 5 I was using Teechart professional, all was compiled just
fine. I now have the app loaded into Delphi 6 and what with the problem
of compatability with the pre-release of Teechart pro we have made the
decision to use the version of Teechart that comes with Delphi 6 and
ship the application with run-time packages.

The problem we have is that Teechart Pro has additional properties (eg
printmargins) and an exception is raised when trying to load the report
into the report designer. I am happy to lose these additional properties
but need to be able to open the report in order to modify it.

Is there some way of doing this in he same way as the Delphi IDE does -
simply remove the offending properties and continue?

Failing that any other suggestions.

Thanks in advance.

    I went into D5 and created a report with a TeeChart and a DBTeeChart in the
    report using the registered TeeChart 5 version. Then I built with runtime
    packages in D6 and loaded that report and had no problems. Perhaps you are
    using one of the teechart feature that I am not using, so it wan't streamed
    down the same as my charts in D5. Can you send me your report template and
    I'll try to load it up in D6 to see what happens.

    Problem now solved - I was bored on holiday and re-created the report.
    Guess I should really get a life.

    FYI - The property was printmargins.
