'-' is not a valid integer

rbuser

Hi

Delphi 2007.

Just upgraded to 11.05, when I open up the Report Explorer I get 2 error
messages about '-' is not a valid integer.

They appear to come from ppDesignDocumentController line 902 and relate to
[Last Reports Accessed] in the rbuilder.ini which in my case are...

[Last Reports Accessed]
Max=5
R0=Finance 4 - Monthly Values,0,0
R1=Finance 3 - Monthly Values,0,0
R2="All Contracts by short name",0,0,1
R3="Customer Job Report",0,0,16
R4=color,0,0,1


If I replace the section with

[Last Reports Accessed]
Max=5


The error messages stop.

Starting with RB 10, the MRU (or LastReportAccessed) feature was re-designed
to be more reliable. The format is slightly different. In your example, the
RO and R1 items should have the report names surrounded by " ", like R2 and
R3.

Running inside the Delphi IDE the debugger will show an error when RB tries
to parse an invalid item. However the code that reads each item has a
try..except block. If you select "continue" RB will ignore the invalid items
and continue to work correctly. When you exit the Designer, it will update
RBuilder.ini - the invalid items will be removed.

An end-user running outside of the Delphi IDE will not see an
error/exception dialog. The other option is to delete RBuilder.ini when
updating RB.
