QuickReport problem - please help

[Gudni G. Sigurdsson]

Hi.
I have been using C++ Builder for many (9) years. My current version is 5.
I used the bundled QuickReport from the beginning with no problems. Several
years ago, I bought QR4 because I needed e.g. to convert reports to
pdf-format. I have been using QR4 quite a lot with no problem.
Recently, I had to work on a program which has been running for many years.
This program has several reports in it and was converted to using QR4 years
ago. Now, I get (out of the blue) an error message when trying to run some
(not all) of those reports:

Project ... raised exception class EReadError with message 'Error reading
QRep->PrinterSettings.UseStandardprinter: Property does not exist'

Frankly, I have no idea where this comes from and have no clue where to
look. I am a developer working alone and do not have access to other
programmers working with BCB. In the past, I have relied quite a lot on
excellent help from fellow developers through the Borland newsgroups.
Please help.

Hi, again.

I seem to have solved the problem, perhaps more by chance than insight. I
took a look at my projectŽs options and found that there was (still) a
reference to the qrpt50 package library, whereas I only wanted to use the
QR4RUNC5 library. After having removed the qrpt50 reference, all my reports
ran correctly.

I used the Borland C++ Builder newsgroups a lot in the past, and I was
always impressed by how quick people were to help fellow programmers. It
seems to me, that there is less traffic on the newsgroups now. Maybe, the
C++ Buider has fallen a bit out of favour. I (also) use Visual Studio and C#
now, but I still think the BCPPB is an excellent programming environment.

Regards, Gudni
