Version 9.02 breaks web reports

rbuser

Greetings!

I have recently upgraded from 7.03 to 9.02 and the web reports I have no
longer work. The error message is "Canvas does not allow drawing" and there
is no report output. I suspect the cause of this might be because the web
user account IWAM_MACHINENAME or IUSR_MACHINENAME does not have rights to a
printer. Why has this changed in 9.02 - and is there a way to make this work
like it did in 7.03.

Thanks!
Gary

Check the help About box and make sure that you are not using RB 9.0 or
9.01. Those releases had some issues that we fixed for RB 9.02. In my
testing here I cannot reproduce any issues related to not have a printer
driver installed.

Hi Nard,

Yes I am using RB 9.02. After doing some testing with a quick mock-up I have
found out that as soon as I put a barcode on a report (in the footer - which
I need to do) the report will not run. That's when the error "Canvas does
not allow drawing" happens. Otherwise, the report works fine.

Can you check this out for me?

Thanks very much,
Gary

Which BarCodeType are you using? I will test it here....

I am using a BarCodeType of bcCode128. Thanks for looking into this!

I created a patch for RB 9.02 that I think will fix the issue.

Email support@digital-metaphors.com and request the 'canvas does not allow
drawing' patch.
