Canvas does not allow drawing

edited November 2007 in General
Hello,

One of our customers is reporting that they cannot generate any reports as
the exception "canvas does not allow drawing" keeps occuring. Our product
uses a RemObjects based application server and this is where the reports are
generated and then printed to a ArchiveDevice stream. This stream is sent
back to the client and its displayed in the standard ReportViewer. It works
fine on all other customer networks, apart from one. We are using RBuilder
10.03 built with Delphi7. can you give me some insight to what the problem
might be. This is quite an urgent issue for us.

thanks

    Hi Jo,

    Which operating system is the machine with the problem running? The error
    you are receiving usually indicates that you do not have proper access to a
    printer or video driver. Be sure you have proper access to these drivers on
    the affected machine. Also, please update your version of ReportBuilder to
    the latest (RB 10.07) and test your application with that.
