Blank fields when no printer installed

rbuser

Delphi 6 Update Pack 2
ReportBuilder Enterprise 6.03

When I run a report on a machine that does not have a printer
installed, some (not all) of the fields are blank. For example, I
have a simple report that prints 3 labels, a checkbox and a memo. If
no printer is installed, one of the labels and the memo are blank.

I could almost understand it if ALL the memos were blank, but just one
of them????

When I install a printer on the machine, the report displays correctly
(I am using preview, not printing them out). This is typically not an
issue except in the rare cases where the report is generated on a
machine that doesn't have access to a printer, such as a server.

Could you possibly send the layout to support@digital-metaphors.com

I'm interested to see what the difference is between the labels that print
and those that do not.

Normally, RB will switch to the 'Screen' device when no printer is
installed. A bitmap canvas is then used to measure any autosized text or
word wrapped text (as opposed to a printer dc)
