Canvas Does Not Allow Drawing

rbuser

Hello All:

I have a large app D5/RB 6.01 that prints reports loaded from a .rtm
file. The reports are on a single record with many DBText and a few
ppVariable components.

Every once in a while, a user will get an error "Canvas Does Not allow
Drawing" when they try to print the report.

The cure is to simply re-start the app or re-boot the computer ( or in
terminal services to start a new session ).

Any ideas what could cause this to occur on an intermittent basis ???

Thank you.

I just recently started using RB6 with delphi 5 and am getting this
bug in design mode. Are you say the only way to fix it is to purchase
an upgrade?

Mike,

Make sure you are using the latest version of your printer driver. If this
does not fix the bug, try downloading a trial version of ReportBuilder 7.02
and see if it corrects the problem.

We are unable to provide updates or fixes for any earlier versions of
ReportBuilder so you may need to upgrade to the latest version to fix this
bug.

I just realized I'm using version 5.56. I have the download link and
the password for 6.03 but the link doesn't work anymore. Any way I can
get a copy of 6.03? I have the password I just need the file.

Mike,

We do not distribute past versions of ReportBuilder for Delphi 5, 6, and 7.
The "Canvas Does Not Allow Drawing" bug exists in RB 6.03 and was fixed in
Reportbuilder 7. You will need to upgrade to ReportBuilder 7.02 to receive
this fix.
