issue with 7.02 small size report

rbuser

Hi,

I have a report template stored in database table. In the designer, if i set
report page size to anything less than A4, when i load the report from the
database
and do the preview, it generates 1000s of pages...

Any ideas whats going on?

Actually i need to print this on barcode printer...Are there any known
issues
with printing report builder reports on DelSol or other barcode printers?

Thanx alot,
Eugene.

Hi Eugene,

This is not a known issue. Which version of Delphi are you using? I would
recommend downloading the latest version of ReportBuilder that is compatable
with the version of Delphi you are using and testing with that. The
following article may help you find a solution as well.

------------------------------------------------------
Article: TroubleShooting: Report Prints Endless Pages
------------------------------------------------------

Occasionally, we have customers state that their reports are in some
infinite state where page after empty page prints forever.

There are a few items to check when this occurs.

The TppReport.AutoStop property is the first thing to check. If this is
false when the DataPipeline property is unassigned, the endless report will
be the result. AutoStop is automatically set to True when DataPipeline is
set to nil, but it is possible to set it back to False. Check for instances
in your code where you might have created this condition.

Another thing to check is that all subreports in your report have their
DataPipeline set. When a subreport does not have its pipeline set, you will
sometimes see a condition where the first detail record prints and then you
get blank pages.

Another, non-data related cause can sometimes be your margin settings. If
you have stretching bands that need to overflow to the next page, if your
margins are too tight, sometimes the report engine will endlessly overflow
to the next page trying to fit the overflow material.

Still another cause might be having a statically positioned control, set to
ReprintOnOverFlow, in the same band with a stretching control. For instance,
if you have a memo set to stretch and in that same band, a label control set
to ReprintOnOverFlow, then on every page after the first, the memo will
begin to print after the label control. If the label is placed low enough
that the memo has no room to print, the report will forever be trying to
print the overflowing memo on the next page.
