Save to text printing a blank file

rbuser

I am using Report Builder 10 Enterprise on Delphi 2006. When I select
to print to file, select text file is the type and allowing the user to
put a file name, after hitting print, the report is blank. Any help on
what I need to do?

Hi Semone,

Take a look at demos 101 - 107 located in the \RBuilder\Demos\1. Reports\...
directory for examples of how to export a report to a text file. For a
delimited text file you will need to use the save property or the Print to
File dialog by selecting File | Print To File Settings... option.

Thanks Nico for your response. I took a look at the demos, the problem
I am having, happens when your device type is set to the screen.
Basically I display the report to the screen first. And the
AllowtoPrintFile is set to true. When the user selects to printtofile
in the print dialog box, they choose text. After choosing text, the
file is created, but the file is blank. Any ideas? Actually I ran demo
report 108 and tried to print it to a text file instead of pdf, and the
file was blank as well.

Semone,

Demos 101 - 107 are designed to export to a text file. Demo 108 is not,
therefore you will receive an empty page.


See the help topics on the TppCustomText.Save and TppBand.Save properties
for more information.
