Incorrect total when printing from preview dialog

rbuser

I was wonder if anyone has had a similar problem that could maybe
give me some idea as to what might be my problem.

When I preview the report at run time the total in the preview is
correct, but when I print from the preview the total is off by the
amounts on the last page. If I print without previewing the total
is correct.

The total is stored in a TppVariable in the Summary Band, the
OnCalc event of the TppVariable is basically
Value := Value + DataPipline['Value'];

I'm using Delphi 5, ReportBuilder Professional Edition 7.01.

Hi Charley,

As a test, try commenting out all your event code, and re-running the
report. If this solves the problem, periodically begin adding the code back
to isolate the problem. Usually when the printed output does not match the
preview output, it is due to some event code being executed at an
inopportune time while the report is trying to print.

The TppReport component prints in more than one format, I copied the
component to a blank form and set the properties of the label, variable
dbedit and any other components on the report component to how they
would be for when the report format that causes this problem is to be
printed.
The only event needed is the OnCalc event for the TppVariable
component that accumulates the totals.The total still prints correctly
in the Preview Dialog but not on the hard copy.

If I only have a one page report, the individual amounts are on the report
but the total is 0. If I have more than one page the total is always off by
the amounts on the last page. I've tried setting the ResetType property of
the TppVariable to veReportStart and veReportEnd and get the same results.

There is one result that I cannot reproduce consistently and that is the
total
on the Preview Dialog is the same as the hard copy but both are off by the
amounts on the last page.

I emailed the sample application to DM's support, hopefully you can find my
problem.
