Invalid Field Type Error - End User Report

rbuser

Hi,
I'm finding problem while creating an end user report using
Report Builder 10.05 Professional Edition.
I'm using Delphi 2006 Enterprise Edition with Oracle 9i as Database,
and BDE for connection management
While Running the project delphi throws the following exceptions in
debug mode:

Project **** raised exception class EDBEngineError with message 'Invalid
Field Type.'

followed by

Project **** raised exception class EDataError with message 'Invalid Field
Type.'

and Finally Report Explorer throws the following Exception.

Error:ItemPipeline: 'plItem' could not be opened.

Please advice.. I'm new to report builder.

Thanks in advance

Hi,

Be sure you have properly created the end user database in your Oracle
database using the CreateEndUserTables.sql file.

As a new user, I would strongly recommend considering a different connection
option to BDE when connecting to an Oracle database. Most of our customers
that use Oracle including ourselves use a product called Direct Oracle
Access (DOA) created by AllAroundAutomations
(http://www.allroundautomations.nl/doa.html). DOA makes the connection
process to Oracle from Delphi easy and hassle free.
