Before print + blank

rbuser

Each month, I print a report that consist of a letter sent to each of
our client.

In the Header band, there is a memo (TppMemo) that I use to show the
customer's name and address. I am filling it in the Before print of
the header band, so I can format the address lines myself from the
database.

The problem is that last time we printed the report (over 1000 client),
around 20 of them had no address printed in the header.

Printing the faulty records again did solve the problem, but I had to
print all 20 individually.

I tried to print the entire report to a pdf file, and the adresses were
there.

How can I track down this kind of error?

Frederic,

This is not a known issue with ReportBuilder. Which version of
ReportBuilder are you using? Is this the first time something like this has
happened? Are you accessing you database over a network? Perhaps there was
a pause in the network connection for certain records when you were
printing. If you run your application again from the beginning, do you
still get the error for the same 20 reports?

The problem is really that if I re-print the same report, I don't get
any blank, or sometimes, I can get 4 or 10 missing addresses... It's
surely not an RB problem.
Like you said, it may be due to the database or the network, but how
would I be able to prevent this? How will I find out what is the
problem?

Hi Frederic,

This could be caused by a number of things. One common item to check is
that your application is free of memory and resource leaks by using a QA
tool such as Sleuth QA by TurboPower or MemCheck
(http://v.mahon.free.fr/pro/freeware/memcheck/).
