Is there any problem about Report "AllowPrintFile" properties?

rbuser

Hi ,
I want to save prepared report (or export ).
For this reason I set "Allowprintfiles" properties to true.

When I click the print button on preview screen (at runtime), there is a
printer setup dialog window is appear but its not contain
"prin to file" option.
But When I try to preview report from delphi ide (at design time -using
double click on Tppreport object ) I can see "print to file" option.
Why I can see this option at design time and can't see at runtime .

(My tools : Delphi 7 - RB 7.04 , SQL server 2000 and Pragnaan export
tools)


Thanks a lot for yours helps,

Hi Kemal,

If you set the Report.AllowPrintToFile property to True, the print dialog
should give you the option to print to a file, even when you print from the
preview. Are you by chance loading templates? If so, you need to be sure
you save these templates down with this property set to True as well.

I have stored my templates on sql server .
I solved this problem using
set Allowprintfiles := true before print report on delphi code.

many thanks for yours helps,
