problem in inherited form

edited January 2009 in General

hi, we have a problem with some report "A" inherited from another report
"B".

we recently upgrade to 11.02 version, and now when we open a old report "A"
we receive error like "cannot create field ppdbXXX10" or "cannot remove
ppdbXXXX because is inherited". it seems that RB wants to remove and
re-create tppfield object, but in inherited form it can't !
we tried to open before the anchestor form and remove and re-create
tppfield, but in inherited report we have a blank report!

there's a solution or a how-to guide to resolve this issue?

thanks
bye

    Try downloading the latest 11.02 build from our web server - this sounds
    like an error that was present in a prior build.

    If you still have an issue, create a simple example that we can build and
    run here. Send in zip format to support@digital-metaphors.com and we can
    research it.

    thanks for the reply.
    we still have 11.02, and unfortunatly we can't build an example... because
    the problem is with old report the firt time we open it whit new version. if
    we made a new small project , we not have problem.... but I'll study how to
    send something!

    for now we found a workaround: we disable "autocreatefileds" in all
    ppDBPipeline in the anchestor form, so we can modify inherited report.
    after all, we enable the property....

    DataPipeline.AutocreateFields needs to be set to False on ancestor forms.
    This has always been the case.
