  • Thanks Nico, that was a great help.

    In the sample you talk about StandardToolbar (in the shift controls
    routine). Unfortunately I do not have a reference for that control. What
    gives?

  • Nico,

    To further this it seems it's a Cannon printer and the printer isn't
    connected. Other printers not connected seem OK so I have to ask where
    can I trap this type of error. I'm pretty well using your demo
    projects…

  • Nico,

    We found the problem. A laptop with a default printer set to a network
    printer about 100 miles away (not connected of course ). Driver
    must be not be stored locally I guess.

    Is there a way I can catch this…

    Yep - that?s what I looked for.

  • Hello,
    i have mailed the new translation to DM.
    Thank you to Chris Ueberall and all who helped with.

  • Hello there,

    as two already worked on a translatikon, we stopped doing so. As Chris
    wrote, a group of translators with one being the clearinghouse and
    coordinator would be appreciated. Loaclisations are a must and they have to

    I think we should exchange our translations at Friday or Monday and discuss it. Let's find the most common set of translations that we then pass to DM.

    ready by the end of the week. Just for your information.

  • Where exactly is that event (GlobalOnCreate) - I can't see it in the

    You are talking about a RAP event right, not a Delphi one?

    I had a think about this and that sounds like a fairly complicated

    I thought you where quite clear :-) I had already got D6 Upd 2, but found
    an rtl patch with the date you gave which I also applied.
    Also I do have RB7.02 Build 2.

    Any other ideas?

  • Hi Paul,

    for the case I wasn't very clear, I meant the latest update of D6 and not ReportBuilder.
    You should use :
    RB 7.02 Build 2
    Delphi 6 UP 2 (check the 'About' form)

    I do now!

  • Paul,

    I guess you don't have the last D6 patch from 2003-03-12 installed.

    Yes - sorry - should have added D6 to > RB 7.02, win 2k pro

    Hi Paul,

    are you using D6?

    I never thought of that. Neat trick.
