print/show prepared report doesn't work

diasw

Hi FR's,

I'm printing a DMP-Report to a printer at lpt1 with no problem.
I save the prepared report to FP3-File. When I open the FR3-File there is no data shown/no report printed.

Here some codelines:

//prepare and print or save report

frxReport.PrintOptions.ShowDialog := False;
frxreport.PrepareReport();
if gf_DirektDruck = True then
begin
frxReport.print;
end else
begin
frxReport.SaveToFile(strFile);
end;
...

Load the report:

if frxReport.PreviewPages.LoadFromFile(strFile) = true then
begin
frxreport.PreviewPages.Report.ShowPreparedReport;
// frxReport.Print;
// frxReport.ShowPreparedReport;
end;

The FP3-files are saved, and there is data in it when I open it with an editor...

btw: I have the trialversion FR 3.04.

regards
Sascha

Try to set TfrxReport.DotMatrixReport := True after loading the FP3 file.

No change.
Strange thing: I can call the procedure the first time with success, second time, same session, no data is shown. Even when I create an new instance of FrxReport and free it:

Function tfrmPrint.PrintAuftragSpool(strFile: String; strDrucker: String):Boolean;
var frxRepPrt : TFrxReport;
begin
frxRepPrt := TFrxReport.create(self);
//if frxReport1.PreviewPages.LoadFromFile(strFile) = true then
if frxRepPrt.LoadFromFile(strFile)=True then
begin
frxRepPrt.DotMatrixReport := True;
frxRepPrt.ShowReport();
// frxReport1.ShowPreparedReport;
end;
frxRepPrt.Free;

{//if frxReport1.PreviewPages.LoadFromFile(strFile,False) = true then
if frxReport1.LoadFromFile(strFile)=True then
begin
frxReport1.DotMatrixReport := True;
// frxReport.PrepareReport();
// frxreport.PreviewPages.Report.ShowPreparedReport;
// frxReport.Print;
frxReport1.ShowReport();
// frxReport1.ShowPreparedReport;
end;
frxReport1.Free;}

end; // proc

Is there a special CleanUp-Method I forgot to call?

Hi Sascha,

if I export a report to a file (PDF) then something in the report-system is damaged. I cannot show another or the same report in a Preview.
I have to exit the whole program to generate a new report.
I hope this will be fixed in 3.05 ????

Hi Wolfgang,

seems to me as if there is still potential in amelioration ;-). I'm not going to buy FR before my problems aren't solved, even when FR is the best RepGen I've seen, considering the dot-matrix-solutions.
