RBuilder.ini

rbuser

On some customer side the Reportbuilder tries to create a file which is
named RBuilder.ini. But for some reason he can't create it and it gives
an exception.

1. On which location tries the RB create this file?
2. Is this file really necessary. On which cicumstance is this file
necessary?

Bernhard,

The ini file saves state information about the report designer, so that next
time it is opened, the size and position revert to how you last had them,
and the icons and toolbars are how you chose to customise them. Therefore it
is not essential but certainly preferable.

By default RB tries to save this ini file to the Windows\System32 directory.
However, you can change this using the IniStorageType and IniStorageName
properties of the TppDesigner component.

You can choose to save the settings to the registry if you prefer by
changing IniStorageType from IniFile to Registry.

If you save as an ini file, IniStorageName is the path and file name of the
ini file.
If you save to the registry, it is the name of the key under
HKEY_CURRENT_USER directory.

Hi Bernhard,

ReportBuilder tries to place the RBuilder.ini file into the
\Windows\System32\... directory of the host machine. If this directory is
blocked due to security, you have the option to store all default designer
options in the registry using the TppDesigner.IniStorageType property of the
designer object.

This file is necessary to keep the look and feel of the designer consistent
each time the designer is opened and closed.
