Caching pages impacts long reporting

rbuser

D7 & latest RB.
Multiple problems?
We have set CachePages := True on some reports since the PrintPreview does
not always look like the Printed version of a multiple bands report
(Proposals, Invoices,..). The problem would be shifting of some items from
one page to another. The data was correct, just difference in look. The
users can also BatchPrint these items, sometimes numbering in the thousands
of multi-page items. The InvoiceNumber being driving from a temporary table
to track the batch history. With Cache on, the buffers load up and stop
sending output to the printer. However, with cache off, and user selecting
through Windows 2 copies, and graphics were loaded to a band on the report,
the second page drops the graphic.

Any advice, can a "Flush" occur after each item is printed.

Hi Mark,

Sorry about the delay in this response, for some reason my news reader was
unable to see this message.

Is you computer simply hanging when trying to perform the batch print? If
you try to print each report one at a time, do you still get the problem?

If these are very large reports, the CachePages property could be using a
rather large amount of resources, which could in turn cause other processes
to malfunction.
