Page Breaks do not save in run-time
We are using RAP and saving the reports to a Blob in the database.
Report Builder 10
Delphi 7
In design time, I created a report with a page break. The report will break
when printed, however, when I run the report at run-time, remove the break,
save the report to the database, the report continues to break. At this
point one would assume that the report is not saving to the database but
that's not true. I can pull up the report in run-time again to remove the
page break; however, the page break is not displayed but it will still
persist to break.
Likewise, the opposite is true. If I remove the break in design time but add
it at run-time, the run-time report will not break. The saved report's
breaks, will only change when done at design time.
All other run-time changes will change appropriately except the page break.
For example, I can remove a field at run-time, save it, and the field will
not show anymore when printing and during subsequent run-time design
changes.
Could I be doing something wrong? At first glance, when all other changes
save but the page break doesn't, it seems like a bug to me.
Thank you.

Which version of ReportBuilder are you using (10.0x)? In my testing with
the end-user demo and ReportBuilder 10.07, I was able to successfully create
a report with a page break, save it to a blob field, reopen it, remove the
page break and save it again. Then when I reopened it again, the removed
page break was honored when I previewed the report.

We are using 10.04. I suppose your next suggestion would be to upgrade to
10.07 which I can do but I won't be able to do that right away. I will try
that when I get a chance.
Thank you.
