It is not an AV, it is an exception that is raised. What is happening is
that you are calling Viewer.Report.Print. The Viewer.Report property could
be any TppProducer descendent, such as TrsClientReport, TppReport,
TppArchiveReader or… -
Upon exiting the designer, check Report.Modified = True. Use the
Report.Template.SaveToFile or SaveToDatabase routines. You could use the
Designer.OnCloseQuery event to provide the timing to save the report. See

You are right about the 6.03 ancestor. I did change TppDrawCommand so now
they are communicators in order to support full text searching in the
preview beginning in RB 7.01. The TppCommunicator is pretty powerful and can

What is happening is when KeepTogether is true, the report engine must allow
the bands to generate. In the case when a group should keep together, the
report engine removes the draw commands for the group on the current page

You are seeing the currently implemented "feature" of the report engine.
Basically what is happening is that the report engine was never intended to
have anyone else change the draw commands as it it running in this manner.

See my post in the next thread.
Probable culprits are the default printer driver which is installed or maybe
another 3rd party tool in Delphi causing a conflict. Do you have GExperts or
Coderush installed into Delphi? GExperts a… -
Have you set an HP LJ 4 as the default printer as a test. We have tested
this driver and it works for us here without problems. I simply want you to

Please use the same thread when describing the same problem. Thanks,
Yes, your installation is probably ok. You are using RB 6.03, an older
version.

There is a published Report.OnOutlineNodeCreate event you should use. This

This was a problem in the release which went undetected (Delphi raised
neither a hint nor warning) when we built the packages. We are preparing a
new build to fix the issue.

Sure, I tried it again, but cannot reproduce the error. If you can try it in
7.02 and reproduce the problem, then tell us how to reproduce the problem
step by step.

I can't reproduce the problem. Try saving a report template as ascii text
(Report.Template.Format) and see what the Brush.Color property is saving as.
Can you send an example to support@digital-metaphors.com that shows the
problem?I used RB 7.02 to create the example. You can ignore the property errors. It
is a runtime example. If you only have RB Standard installed and don't have
the runtime designer component then you need to create and install a delphi

rbRAP76 to rbRAP77.

Digital MetaphorsWhen are you changing the order by clause? You say that RB appropriately
orders the data in the preview, but do you mean inappropriately? Make sure
the data is correct at runtime by hooking the datasource for the report to a

The aLines parameter object is the Memo.Lines object, ie. you should never
call Self.Assign(Self). Either call methods on the aLines parameter or on
the Memo.Lines object.

Make sure the Report.PrinterSetup.PrinterName is not set to 'Screen' in the
