Problems with RB9

edited November 2004 in General
I've upgraded from Ver 7.04 to Version 9 on Delphi 7 Pro, Win XP Pro.
Unfortunately there seem to be some bugs in Ver 9. When I try to edit a
report in design time that was created in Ver 7, I continuously get a Stack
overflow error that crashes Delphi. I've already uninstalled RB completely
and re-installed as per the RB 'How to uninstall a corrupt installation'
helpfile topic but the problem persists.

I've sent this bug report to support@digital-metaphors.com 3 days ago but
have still not had a reply.

Is their anyone else who has had this problem and can offer some advice on
getting around this problem. I've had to uninstall Ver 9.0 and I'm using Ver
7.04 again.

Thank you,

Heinrich

    Yes, as I mention in earlier messages, RB 9 is giving me stack overflows -
    even on new reports. The only way I can get it to work at the moment is to
    put the report, pipeline, datasource and dataset on the same form. I've had
    to go back to 7.04 too since a rewrite of whole apps with this change is
    inviable at present.

    You probably caught them on holiday. If you do not get a response by
    Tuesday - send it again. They are usually very good about bug help..

    There is now a patch available that fixes this issue. Email
    support@digital-metaphors.com and request the 'stack overflow' patch.

    Thus far only users using Interbase (BDE, IBExpress, IBObjects) have
    reported the stack overflow error. In any case, the patch should fix all
    occurences of this error.
