Groups: List index out of bounds

rbuser

WinNT 4.x, D6E, RB 6.03

I have a report, with a subreport, that is connected to a pipe, which
is connected to a DataSource which is connected to a TClientData set,
which opens normally and has field objects in it. When I click on the
Groups menu choice I always get a 'List index out of bounds" error and
no fields are listed.

Is there a way of re-initializing that groups list?

Thanks.

Additional information:

I have switched my default printer to HP III in an attempt to get away
from the Access Violation problems I was having for the past 5 days.

I've been working for about an hour and I haven't seen an access
violation, but now my Groups are throwing this error. Could switching
my default printer cause this problem?

Thanks.

I have cleared the error by closing the Delphi project with the
problem. Opening up a test Delphi project, diddly around with a
ppReport object on the test project. Close that Delphi project,
re-open the original problem project. Now my fields show up in my
groups.

Is something being cached in Report Builder objects during design time
in Delphi that is not being flushed?

How about a button on the report designer that says, "flush cache"?

How about a better button named: "fix all wonky problems".

Thanks.

Try shutting down the Delphi IDE when errors such as this one occur. You
may need to update your printer driver because when you're in the RB
designer it relies on the printer driver to measure text. If the printer
driver is corrupt, you could experience strange errors.
