Error trying to change a font style at runtime.

rbuser

I am getting a very strange error. Whenever I add the following code
(Delphi)

ppdesc.Font.Style := [fsBold];

to a before print of the ppdesc on a detail line I get the following
error:

EReadError with message 'Property PixelFormat does not exist'.

Anyone have any ideas? If I remove this, the program runs fine, but of
course the Font Style does not change. I want to change this style
with a data check based on the data. Whatever I try, I keep getting
this same error.

I even cleaned RB completely from my system and re-loaded. Same thing.

D6/ RB 7.04 Std.

Your help is appreciated greatly.

Thanks,

A Delphi 'EReadError' exception usually indicates an issue with reading a
component from a .dfm or other file such as RB's .rtm files or reading from
a database.

PixelFormat is a property of a TBitmap.

If you are reading up report definitions from a database and using the BDE,
try increasing the settings for MaxBlobSize and BlobsToCache.

If you are not running an application that uses the end-user designer, then
make sure that you have TppReport.SaveAsTemplate set to False.

If you still have an issue, please create a simple example using standard
Delphi components, ReportBuilder and the DBDemos data. Email in zip format
to support@digital-metaphors.com and we can check it out here.
