Hi,
I upgrade RBuilder from 6.02 to 10.09.
There is a problem about ReportTextFile print.
Detail band and dbtext's height is 16 screenpixel and
font is Courier New.

But when printing to dot-matrix printer or text file
There is a blank line after each 7 lines, likes below.
When I set detail band buttomoffset property to 2,
Blank lines dissappear but report's page include more
than 66 lines (dot-matrix printer line limit), about 75,
and printed lines overflow papers.

Any suggections?

Thanks

Report text file example :
DETAIL BAND DATA....................................
DETAIL BAND DATA....................................
DETAIL BAND DATA....................................
***There is a blank line here but there isn't at report preview***
DETAIL BAND DATA....................................
DETAIL BAND DATA....................................
DETAIL BAND DATA....................................
DETAIL BAND DATA....................................
DETAIL BAND DATA....................................
DETAIL BAND DATA....................................
DETAIL BAND DATA....................................

DETAIL BAND DATA....................................
DETAIL BAND DATA....................................
DETAIL BAND DATA....................................

    You have sent this same question to support@digital-metaphors.com for the

    ReportTextFile is a very primitive format. For tips on printing to a report
    tezx file, run RBuilder\Demos\Reports\Demo.dpr and check out demo 107. Read
    the description and view the example report.

    Hi Nard,
    I have checked our mail server, spam folder, there isn't any mail sent by you.

    I sent same mail to Lisa, she answered it. She forwarded our mail to you.

    Anyway, thanks for answer.

    I set beforeprint event like below, text print is faultless.

    Thanks.

    procedure Tfrm0107.ppReport1BeforePrint(Sender: TObject);
    var
    lDevice: TppReportTextFileDevice;
    begin

    if (ppReport1.FileDevice <> nil) and (ppReport1.FileDevice is
    TppReportTextFileDevice)then
    begin
    lDevice := TppReportTextFileDevice(ppReport1.FileDevice);

    {120 characters per line, 66 lines per page}
    lDevice.CharacterGrid(120, 66);
    end;

    end;

    Umit
