The RB XLS export is using Excel 97-2003 format, also known as BIFF8. There
are cell attributes that get set for the data, font, display format, etc.
I have Excel 2010 installed on my machine and do not have any issues editing
Default font for the spreadsheet is Arial for Win XP and earlier and Calibri
for Windows Vista and later. I am using Win 7, so default is Calibri and my
test report has a Times New Roman font.

The code works in my testing here, although in my test I wrote a .prn file

…In RAP the identifiers such as Report Title, Header, Detail etc are used to
refer to elements of the report layout. You might want to either use a
prefix, such as 'pl' - plDetail or use a suffix such as 'Data' -

components to export. If you have a subreport, access the workspace for the
childreport and then select File | Print To File Setup.

resolved. Excel can now open ReportBuilder XLS files with no warning.

Adding XLSX output is on the ToDo list. However, it will likely not be
included in RB 15 - we always have many more requested features than we can
get to for any one release, but we keep working at it.…Report.PrinterSetup.PrinterNames[ ] contains the list available printers.
ReportBuilder builds this list by calling the Windows API EnumPrinters
function. Check whether the printer name appears in that list. One simple

There is now a patch available for RB 14.08 that resolves the issue with the

Thanks for posting a reminder on this. I had it on my list to research, then
got buried with RB 15 release activities. I have now researched this and
will add it for RB 15.01.
