Hello.
Every time I invoke RichEdit1->LoadFromFile("MyFile.rct")
after invoking RichEdit1->Print("User1"),
I get the errror EFOpenError with message
"cannot open file MyFile.rct".
However if I invoke RichEdit1->LoadFromFile("MyFile.rct")
any number of times without ever invoking RichEdit1->Print("User1"),
I do not get the error.
Am wondering why the Print() is affecting the LoadFromFile().
Am on a winxp, BCB6 environment and am using the
Ms Office Document Image Writer as the printer.
Please assist me to solve my problem.
Regards,
PK

You are using a relative path in your filename.
Alway use an absolute path. You meant "MyFile.rct" to
be in the same directory as your exe. Then use:
->LoadFromFile ( ExtractFilePath (ParamStr(0)) + "MyFile.rct" );

Is the file "MyFile.rct" in the current working directory?
It is bad practice IMO not to always specify files using a fully
qualified file path for precisely this kind of problem.
