Error on some computers

Hi!

I have an application which loads some .RTM reports and send them to the
printer. Easy stuff.

The problem is that I have 2 computers which cannot load any report using
neither variable components or code in the calc tab. Once the report gets
to be printed, this message is shown: "Error reading
raCodeModule1.ProgramStream: Stream read error." The report doesn't print
at all.

What can cause the problem ? How can I fix this ??

Thanks!!

    1. Are you compiling an application on a developement machine and then
    deploying it to the other 2 machines? If so, are you compiling the
    application into a stand alone .exe or compiling with runtime packages?

    2. Are you loading reports from files stored on disk or from a database?
    (Technically if say .RTM that should mean files stored on disk, but I want
    to make sure that is what you mean). If you are using a database, are you
    using the BDE? If you are using the BDE to load templates from a database,
    then try increasing the BDE configuration settings for MaxBlobSize and
    BlobsToCache. If MaxBlobSize is smaller than the size of the report, then
    that will cause an issue.

    Hi!

    1- The application is compiled as a stand alone .exe. I have 50+ other
    computers using the same app without problem.

    2- The reports are stored in .rtm files. The data within the report is
    accessed through the BDE. No blob fields are used at all.

    Any hint ?

    Have not heard of this before. Make sure that exact same .exe is installed
    on each machine. I would try updating the video and printer drivers on the
    problematic machines. You could also try re-installing the BDE on those
    machines.

    Do some incrmental test to determine exactly what types of reports cannot be
    loaded. Start with an empty report. Then a report with one TppVariable. Then
    a report with one TppVariable with a simple OnCalc event-handler, etc.
