just generating a report

rbuser

Hello,
I have to know how many pages the report would have if I printed it. But I
neither want to print it to a device nor to screen.
Is it possible to "print" a report without printing???
I mean something like this: ppReport1.Generate;
I hope somebody can help me!

You have to print the report in order for it to generate, however you can
simply print to an offscreen device. Create a dummy device, hook it into the
report, and call PrintToDevices on the report to generate it.

Thanks,
I managed it by using the TextFileDevice...
It works great
