CR7 with VB6 on Network - preview data is ok, but printed report is blank
Hi all,
At work I put together a VB6 app with 2 basic reports. The program
resides on a network server. The program will be run on one
workstation primarily. We did an installation on the workstation also,
to give it the support files. The workstation already had CR7
installed. The reports run fine on the computer where it was designed,
and the preview window displays correctly on the workstation where it
will be used. The problem is that when the report is printed, it
prints the header information only - no records whatsoever, although
they are there in the preview window. It seems to have something to do
with the formula field, because if I take it out and put in a regular
database field, it prints ok. The formula field concatenates a last
name, a comma and a space, and a first name. I've tried to take null
values in either of the name fields into consideration in the formula
(can't duplicate it here off the top of my head) and set the option in
CR7 to convert null values to default. Like I said, it looks fine in
the preview window, so why doesn't it print what I see in the
window??? Any help would be appreciated.
