Missing Fields on output.

rbuser

Delphi 7, RB 7.04

Sometimes when printing to some printers some fields just drop off the
document that I am printing. When I do a preview and see the document
on the screen, it is complete. But when I print it to the printer, it
drops off some fields (last ones I added to the document). Any suggestions?

Hi Louis,

Be sure your bottom margins are large enough to prevent any report
components from printing into the unprintable area defined by the speicific
printers you are using. This area is usually different for every printer
but usually is about 1/4 inch.

These missing fields can be anywhere on the form that the last few
fields were added. It is almost like the computer or printer is not fast
enough sometimes to print them (but it is displayed on the screen
correctly). Is there different things happening when it is printed
versus displayed on the screen.

Hi Louis,

ReportBuilder uses the same API calls to print to the screen as it does the
printer. Usually when the output differs from the screen to printer, there
is some event code either executing or not executing that is causing the
behavior. As a test, try commenting out all your event code and see if that
makes a difference. If so, periodically begin adding the code back to
isolate the problem.
