How to figure out a Cast Error?

Using Tokyo and Latest FR6 ...

One thing i've struggled with is this error on tracking down the offending field that is causing it.
exception class    : EVariantTypeCastError
exception message  : Could not convert variant of type (String) into type (Double).

Some of my reports get overly dumb complex and query heavy and its hard to track down on a customers system sometimes.

It would be nice to actually somehow figure out the field that failed from FormatData ?

    FYI I am getting this problem alot via a program that calls mine to print from a Session 0 in Windows 10.

    If I run the same deal logged in, it works fine.

    If ran from Session 0 , I noticed ALOT of variant conversion errors.

    Possibly something SetThreadLocale / Locale related and Session 0 with FR ?

Rich Text Editor. To edit a paragraph's style, hit tab to get to the paragraph menu. From there you will be able to pick one style. Nothing defaults to paragraph. An inline formatting menu will show up when you select text. Hit tab to get into that menu. Some elements, such as rich link embeds, images, loading indicators, and error messages may get inserted into the editor. You may navigate to these using the arrow keys inside of the editor and delete them with the delete or backspace key.
