TextFileName woes

rbuser

if

Report1.AllowPrintToFile := true
Report1.TextFileName:='c:\sample.txt';
Report1.Print

the prindialog pops up and confirm to print to a file with
the default filename 'c:\sample.txt' already set.
if I changed the filename to, for example, 'c:\changed.txt'
and pressed OK. And inspect the Report1.TextFileName
property. It still say 'c:\sample.txt'.

I'm expecting it to be 'c:\changed.txt' now. How do I
get the real printed textfilename?

thanks !

Which version of ReportBuilder are you using? Are you able to recreate this
issue in demos 101 - 106 located in the \RBuilder\Demos\1. Reports\...
directory? Are you able to recreate this behavior by creating a simple
application consisting of a form, report, and button to print?

I'm using RB7. And yes, I can recreate the problem with the demos.
Open dm0011 unit and set the ff properties:

ppCustomerList.AllowPrintToArchive:=false
ppCustomerList.AllowPrintToFile:=true
ppCustomerList.TextFileName:='c:\sample.txt'

on dmMain do this

procedure TfrmDMMain.spbPreviewPrintClick(Sender: TObject);
begin
ppViewer1.Print;
showmessage(ppViewer1.Report.textfilename);
end;

Run the demo and open report # 0011. On the preview form
click the print button, on the PrintDialog check "Print to File"
checkbox and change the default textfilename to 'c:\changed.txt'.
Press ok and see what's the Report.textfilename. It is still
'c:\sample.txt'.

thanks for looking at this.

Hi,

In my testing with ReportBuilder 9.01, this seemed to work as expected.
Please download a trial copy of RB 9.01 and test with that.
