Changing printers in the previewer

rbuser

Many versions back of ReportBuilder (v3 I believe) there was
an issue with changing the printer within the previewer. The
report didn't always match the preview. As a result, I forced
the end user to select the printer prior to initiating
the report. This workaround has persisted within my
applications and may now be redundant.

Is there any issue now with respect to changing the printer
within the previewer (RB10).

Thanks,
Jon

If the printer is changed, then the report has to be regenerated. There is
code in ReportBuilder to detect when the printer has changed and reset the
report engine and page cache if this occurs. Thus it can auto detect whether
it needs to regenerate the report.

Therefore, for performance it is better to designate the printer prior to
preview, but it is not required.

Nard,

Thanks for the update...

I guess I'll leave the code in...
"If it ain't broke..." :-)
