RTF inconsistencies.

edited February 2004 in General

Hi,

I have a program that I can launch as an application (by double clicking on
the ".exe" file)
or I can make a service that runs it. The program is made with Delphi 5,
Report Builder 6.3 and
WPTools 4 (TppDBWPTRichText).
This application creates reports. (They are created as ".raf" files, then
viewed through
a (TppViewer).
One of these reports contains some rich text and is inconsistent. Here is my
problem:
- When I launch the program as an application, the report is ok.
- When I launch the program as a service one of 2 things happens:
- If the service is set to "logon as" my Windows user (the same one as
above), it's ok.
- If the service is set to "logon as" with the "local system account" the
results
are completely different. Some text does not appear, while some other
just ends up on a different page (the next one). I have found that
putting "line feeds"
can change the way appears, nut it's inconsistent.

I am running Windows XP home, but I know it happens on Windows 2000.
I also know that the files are created with the problem; it's not the
viewer.

TIA!

Dave.

    Dave,

    There are no known issues like this for ReportBuilder. Do you get the same
    behavior if you take WPTools out of the equation and just use a TppRichText
    component?
