You shouldn't get this message if the conversion was successful. Are you

Digital MetaphorsThis may be better suited to the DADE newsgroup, but you should be able to
extract the SQL object and create a search criteria field and then modify
the criteria, as the following code example shows:
in Add a new AutoSearchField based on Criteria Comment by digitalmetaphors September 2001Instead of creating a group header, make the first detail band of a group
print like it was the header. Set the visibility of the controls in the
detail band to do this. It may be helpful to use two regions. The first
region would be …Use a TppRichText component instead of a TppDBMemo. You can assign the memo
text through the TppRichText.Richtext string property in the band's
BeforePrint event. RB's rich text control relies on Delphi's TRichEdit.

Another option is to use a rectangle shape in a PageStyle band which is
visible for every page except on the last page in which you could use
TppLine objects in the bands and set them to visible on the last page.
Cheers,The page object takes ownership when the page property is set on the draw
command so you don't have to worry about freeing it.

This demo is created with Delphi event handlers, but it could be converted
to RAP by creating a pass through functions to get the
