    you created the variable, gave it a name but you did not give it a value.
    either a string value enclosed in apostrophe ie : 'mycompany name' or an expression to be calculated or a datafield.
    since it has no value when the report is previewed the tfrxreportcomponent's ongetvalue event is fired and since there is no run time delphi code for the ogv event you will get an error.

    read the programmers manual about working with variables.

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.
