RB hangs when printing from preview

edited October 2002 in General
When I print a report from my preview form, the MDI application stops
responding. If a print to PDF file (TExtraDevices), the application run ok.

Has anyone else had this problem???

Thanks for any help in advance.

    We don't experience this problem. What version of RB are you using? Can you
    reproduce the problem with our installed MDI end user demo? If you can
    reproduce it, then tell us how to, or send a modified version of it that
    shows the problem to support@digital-metaphors.com

    RB 7 Enterprise

    No

    I have tried this:

    ==============================
    If I set SavePrinterSetup=FALSE all run ok.
    ==============================

    If I print to printer (without preview form) all run ok.
    If I print (in my preview form) to a File (PDF, HTML, ...) all run ok.
    If I print (in my preview form) to printer (SavePrinterSetup=FALSE) all run
    ok.
    If I print (in my preview form) to printer (SavePrinterSetup=TRUE)
    application stops responding.

    Thanks

    SavePrinterSetup should only save the printersetup from the lat time you
    printed and sets it on the report object after printing so that the next
    time you print it will use the same printer setup as the last time you
    printed. If you could reproduce this in a demo report project and send it to
    us (support@digital-metaphors.com) we can look at it and isolate the problem
    so that it can be fixed. At this time we are unable to reproduce it in our
    reports.
