Strange Problem

edited May 2012 in General
Hi

I have a strange problem on a user site. We have a batch process which can
create multiple invoices however after the first 2 or 3 have been printed
the user is getting

"Cannot create file "C:\DOCUME~1\theresa\LOCALS~1\Temp\ppGeneric4.tmp" The
process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process"

Can you offer any advice about this or how I may best go about investigating
the problem?

Best Wishes

    Hi Philip,

    The error indicates that while generating your report to PDF, the PDF
    device is caching the images generated to file instead of memory which
    can cause problems in some cases.

    Which version of ReportBuilder are you using? For later versions, a
    property was added to the PDFSettings (CacheImages) which controls
    whether images are temporarily written to file or to memory. In this
    case you would want to make sure this property is set to True (default).

    Best Regards,
