TppDesigner - Save and SaveAs are not working.

rbuser

Greetings,

Delphi 5.01
RBP 6.03

During runtime, any modifications made to a report by an end user are NOT
being saved.

It does not matter if they choose Save or SaveAs from the file menu.

If they choose save, none of their work is saved. If they choose SaveAs and
enter a new filename, the new file is NOT created.

What should I look for?

Thanks

Mike

Here's some things to check for:

Do the users have permission to write to the disk?
Are the template settings changed after it is loaded or after the user
creates a new report that would prevent it from being saved properly?
Are they perhaps being saved to a database rather than a file, check
Report.Template.Save to property for this?

Greetings Alexander,

Do the users have permission to write to the disk?

[Mike]
Yes. Also note that the files are NOT read-only.

creates a new report that would prevent it from being saved properly?

[Mike]
Not sure what you mean here. Could you be more specific.

Report.Template.Save to property for this?

[Mike]
Report.Template.Save = stFile

Please note that I can use Save and SaveAs at design-time without any
problems. Just can't use at run-time.

Is there any code that is fired after the template loads that is changing
the SaveTo or other settings which determine where the template is being
saved to. My other question is whether you are using the designer standalone
or if you are using the report explorer. In the case of the latter using
Save and SaveTo will save the tempate to the database. You need to use Save
To File and Load From File.
