Printing Not Working From Preview Window

rbuser

I'm using Delphi5 with RB 5.5. I have a report that has no datapipeline
assigned to it. The report consists of multiple sub-reports each connected
to their own data pipeline. When my application runs, after the queries
receive their parameters based on the user selections, I display an option
dialog that allows the user to choose to display the report on the screen,
send it to the printer, create a PDF, or email a PDF of the report. When I
display the report on the screen, everything works great. But when I click
on the printer icon from the Preview Form, the Print Dialog appears with my
default printer highlighted. When I click OK, I see the message "Printing
page 0 of ....'. and the printed report is blank except for a couple of Line
objects that are in the Summary band. If I choose to send the report to the
printer from my Option Dialog mentioned earlier, the report prints out fine.
I've tried doing a ppReport1.Reset in the OnPrintDialogClose event, but with
no success.
Any ideas?

Hi Gary,

This is currently not a known issue. Does this behavior happen with every
report (including the demos included with ReportBuilder)? Usually when the
printed output differs from the on-screen output there is some event code
somewhere causing the problem. As a test, try commenting out all your event
code and re-run your application. If this solves the problem, periodically
begin adding the code back to try to isolate the issue.
