Which version of ReportBuilder are you using? My first recommendation would be to upgrade your version of ReportBuilder and see if the problem still exists. The exception 'Canvas does not allow drawing' occurs when RB cannont access the printer. Typically this is thrown when there is not a default printer installed. Try installing a printer on the machine that has the problems (even if there is not one connected to it). As an alternative, you can also set the PrinterName property to Screen so ReportBuilder will be able to generate reports without the use of a printer driver. As always, be sure you have the latest versions of your printer and video drivers installed.
I am using the version 6.03 with Delphi5. The application run in MetaFrame Citrix and has printer installed. This error can be caused by a Windows GDI?
1. Try downloading a trial edition of ReportBuilder 7.04 for Delphi 5 and test with that. There have been numerous enhancements made since RB 6.03.
2. Be sure the machine you are working on has full access rights to the printer driver and video driver. In some cases this has caused errors with other users who use Citrix.
