D2007 Rb11.02 and Rotated Label Causing Invalid Floating Point operation

rbuser

I have a strange problem on a report A5 Label report that has been around
for years, throu version 8 to 11.02 Report Builder. That now reports an
error Invalid Floating Point Operation on a label that is rotated 270
degrees and we run the line ppLabelDescription := '' this causes the system
to raise the error described.

What seems strange is that we have other components on the form all rotated
to 270 degrees, and some others seem to work fine,
so i tried a small test
ppLabelDescription1 := '' ; <<<-- This First lines works fine
ppLabelDescription2 := '' ; <<<-- This line fails with the FP error

So I swapped them around
ppLabelDescription2 := '' ; <<<-- This line fails with the FP error
ppLabelDescription1 := '' ; <<<-- ...never reached

So im thinking its a faulty component ppLabelDescription2 ...Tarraaaa
So i delete the component copy ppLabelDescription1 , paste it rename to
ppLabelDescription2
And Hey presto...It still fails...
So the last thing i did was remove the 270 Rotation...IT WORKS...everytime
!!

WHY ?

I know its me...What did i do wrong ?

Hi Fred,

Have you tried this with the latest version of ReportBuilder 11.04?

Are you able to recreate this behavior with a simple example? If so, please
send it in .zip format to support@digital-metaphors.com and I'll take a look
at it for you.

I thought id follow your advise and update to 11.04 and checked the Vista
Program and Features list, Only to find i have installed Reportbuilder
version Enterprise 9.03 for D7, Enterprise 9.03 for D7, Enterprise 10.07 for
D2007, 11.02 for 2007, and 11.04 for 2007

Could this be why I am having trouble....also how do i remove the old
versions as i guess i only need the most recent...?

Thanks for the quick response by the way

about version 11.04
