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 project´s 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

Gudni, Thanks for the follow up post. Glad you found the problem. Now the
folks searching the groups will have another tip to look for :)
Cheers!
