Email option changes DeviceType

rbuser

Hello All,

I recently purchased the upgrade from RB 9 (enterprise) to RB 10
(enterprise). One of the reasons that i wanted the upgrade with the new
emailing functionality from the preview window.

After recompiling the projects, I found that we have a small problem with
it. Previously, we had in several reports with code that looks like the
following:

procedure DBText1OnPrint;
begin
if Report.DeviceType = 'Screen' then
begin
DBText1.Font.Color := clBlue;
end
else begin
DBText1.Font.Color := clWindowText;
end;
end;

Which still works fine in RB 10 - UNTIL you use the email feature. After
clicking the email button in the preview, the DeviceType is changed and is
no longer 'Screen'. So all of the "color coding" of the reports goes
aways after exporting to the email client.

I understand what's basically going on - but, it seems like to me that
after the email operation is completed, the DeviceType should still be
'Screen' or should at least revert back to 'Screen'.

Note: I'm using:

XP,
D7,
RB 10 Enterprise,
and Outlook for my email client.

Please let me know if you have questions - or if this was not the best
forum to post to.

Best Regards.

Hi Dave,

Which version of RB 10 are you using? I believe we made some changes for RB
10.03 that should have fixed this issue.

Thanks for the reply.

It should be version 10.03. Lisa sent me an email with the following
"snippet" in it:

"You can download ReportBuilder Enterprise version 10.03 from:"

Note: I just purchased, downloaded and upgraded everything yesterday.

Please let me know if you need/want more info.

Thanks again.

Dave

Hi Dave,

If possible, please send a small example demonstrating this issue. In my
tesing with code similar to your code below, I was unable to recreate the
behavior you describe. Send the example in .zip format to

Nick,

Thanks. One of my programmers has created a sample and is emailing it to
the address you gave. His name is Mike Warren. Please watch for it and
let me know if you have any questions.

Thanks again,

Dave
