This is the language resource. You have your report set to use the Default
language translation. You'll need to distribute the RB translation dll's to
the target machine in your install. See the Languages guide in the languages

Background printing to an archive file works fine for us here. Is your
form/datamodule threadsafe?
Is your TppReport's Owner a TForm or TDatamodule? It should not be nil if
you are creating it dynamically.

You'll have to create a RAP pass through function to access that property.
Here is an example that does create pass through functions for this kind of
operation:

You'll have to move the draw commands to accomplish this. Here is an example

Leah, I searched the logs and there was an issue like this that has been
fixed in RB 7. Try testing with RB 7.02 to see if the problem goes away.

The use of TPanel objects has caused resources problems in Win98 machines in
the past when a bunch of them are used. There are a few in teh standard
preview form of RB. One test you can perform is to use a custom RB print
preview form… -
Are you using RB 7.02 for this MDI app? Win9x systems do not handle
resources very well. Can you run our demo projects on this machine? Does our
MDI example (look in our installed demos directory) run on this machine?

What may be happening is that you are using a different printer to calculate
the memo wrapping. The WinAPI calls rely on the printer driver to provide
the calculated text width and height. Every printer driver is different and

The tip you founf was for a customer that wanted to always print a page on
one piece of paper. Because RB relies on the printer driver for font sizes
in order to determine pagaination, this demo forces a report that should be

The resulting behavior sounds like you are losing the event handler
assignment. Try reconnecting the event handler to the memo after the
template is loaded.

Try paring down the event handlers attached to the report until the problem
goes away. That is one way you can isolate where the problem is coming from.
The other way is to reconstruct the report from scratch in the main
application i… -
Try setting Memo.Stretch to true. What may be happening is that the memo is
fixed height in the designer. When you add a line, you need to increase the
memo's height if it is static height, or set its Stretch proeprty to true.

Make sure the FooterBand.PrintOnLastPage property is set to true. Do you

Use the PageStyle band. It prints behind all other bands and prints on every
page. Resize the PageStyle to be the height of the available space on the
page (usually you'll have quarter inch margins). Then drop a TppImage in the

There is an example of building a dynamic image report page in our main

First, place the image in the PageStyle band. You can determine if you are
printing to the screen or printer by checking if the Report.PrinterDevice is

This did lead to another issue where the matrix was nil and being

Chris, Thanks for reporting the issue.
This has been isolated and fixed. If anyone else would like a 7.02 patch,

Ok, as soon as I said that I can reproduce it. I'll work on a patch.

What are the Report.TextSearchSettings set to? Try switching from the Data
tab or Calc tab directly to Preview. That may be one way to get it in that
state, but I still cannot reproduce the error.

Can you reproduce this with our end user demos? I haven't been able to
reproduce this error. Can you send me an example to

Yes, you'll need to skip labels. Here is a demo to do this. You can provide
an option before printing the report to let them pick which label it should
start printing on. Here is a example:

I believe the add on devices, such as Pragnaan and ExtraDevices have an

Columnar subreports use static height detail bands. What you can do is

Check out the Delphi help on this. Search on TNumericField.DisplayFormat.
