"List Index Out of Bounds (-1)" in designer at runtime [11.07 build 2 with D2010]

rbuser

In spite of evolution of versions and cost of upgrades, I'm getting again
and again this OLD error when using designer at runtime, in different
situations, not easy to reproduce (once like manually editing the distance
and size of a field, other times moving a field, etc. not always in the same
cases). It's very annoying, since the designer crashes, and it's not even
possible to close the designer itself, and the only solution is to terminate
the exe itself. Please check it out.

Other errors: "privileged instruction", several "access violations",
"control '' has no parent window" etc.

Using the designer at design time (inside Delphi) it seems stable, but it
seems (and has always been) almost unusable when used at runtime, from the
compiled exe.

maybe it was something wrong in my system or in windows. After a reboot the
errors misteriously disappeared. Same exe. My apologies.

Hi Max,

I'm very sorry you are having continuous issues with the Designer. Please
let us know if the problems remain. My first suggestion would be to update
your version to RB 11.07. This is the latest release and is a free upgrade
to all registered RB 11 users. Contact info@digital-metaphors.com for
upgrade instructions. If, after the upgrade, you still get the error(s),
try to find a consistent way to recreate it. Perhaps a certain type of
report or a certain feature causes the error.

This is not an error we encounter here, nor is it an error reported by
others.

As a test try running one of our end-user demos. Or try creating a test
application that contains only the RB Designer and no other third party
controls or custom code.

It is likely that the issue is elsewhere in your application. For example,
some code that overwrites memory that is being used by the Designer, which
results in the exception by the Designer.

These types of errors are difficult to track down. The best technique is to
use FastMM in debug mode. FastMM can be configured to monitor allocations
and overwrites.

Hi,

We have same problem too... I will try to explain how it appears.

We have prepared too many reports on RB and this error occurs on some
reports. If we change/add/delete on tables (on database side, not in RB)
which used in reports generate this error and after designer locks.

It is very annoying situation. When we change DB structures we wait for
List Index out of Bounds (-1) error. <:(

Where is the problem, what is the solution?

Thanks

I know from experience that they will fix it as soon as they can reproduce
it, but if they cannot reproduce it, DM will not be able to fix it.

Reading your post, I am not sure I could reproduce the problem. Do you have
specific steps to reproduce the problem?

Thank You

Hi Adnan,

Excellent! Glad you got it solved.

Though RB 11.03 seems to have fixed the issue, I highly recommend upgrading
your version of ReportBuilder to the latest (11.08). We have made numerous
other fixes since the release of 11.03.
