I took demo #29 and it has bolding and underlining, so I added tabs and tab
stop positions to it and changed the font size. It all previews fine and
prints fine.
So, your OnPrint works when the report is preveiwed. What happen… -

There was a 'canvas does not allow drawing' problem which has been fixed.
I'm sending you a patch via email until the next maintenance release is
available.

We haven't added this optimization yet. Agreed, it would be cool to know
which RAP event handler is causing the problem and the actual cause of the
exception.

Digital MetaphorsMost often a poorly coded RAP event handler which compiles in RAP, causes an
exception when the report generates or there is some problem in the printing
process. The message is not displayed for the exception and this is
intended.When the pipeline opens, it moves the dataset to the first record, causing
the datachange event to fire. To see what is happening, you can change your
library path to point to ..\RBuilder\Source and put a breakpoint at the
beginning …I don't believe the code is optimized for this case. Next is called until
EOF is true on the pipeline.

From the Delphi help on this event:
Methods that can trigger this event include the Next or Prior methods for
the dataset. Data-aware controls notify a data source of a data change when:
Scrolling to a new record.

If you change the pipeline (and the field names match to the new pipeline),
then it should automatically reassign the controls in the report when the
report's datapipeline property is changed. Just this morning I was swapping

website as a pre-release. Anyways, since everyone seems to be using
TeeChart 5.02, we are building a new package to support it. Currently, you

in the event handlers? Perhaps the text is inifinitely being assigned?

Check your library path in D6, perhaps it is pointing at your D5
