Problem with binary report

rbuser

Hi
I use RB 7.03

Some older reports are saved in Binary format. When i try to open them i get
an error :

Error reading ppReport2.PrinterSetup.mmPaperHeight: Stream read error.

How can i convert these reports to text (I tried the
BinaryStreamToTextStream but this function also raise an exception)

Thanxs in advance

Hmmm... it seems, that the report was truncated after the binary 0 (of the
paperHeight) and therefor it got corrupted .....

Hi Snoopy,

Check out the following example of using the ObjectBinaryToText to convert a
binary .rtm to text. It may help you convert your files.
