I finally got back to working on this again. in the status bar the error is Unknown Identifier. Is this related to the containership? I looked at help and it indicates I need to enable the contain objects check box, however the check box is greyed out and not accessable.
I have a report that has a table on it. The table is located in the PRIV file. Object Pal code copies the table from the PrivMaster to the Priv folder and then Data is inserted into the table. A report has the table on the data module and the table on the report is defined to the table in the PRIV folder. The report will not print the first row in the table, but all subsequent rows will print. I moved the data around in the table to make sure that it wasn't a specific piece of data, but it appears to be only the first row in the table that is omitted when the report is printed. Run Time property for the table on the report has the YES radio button selected on the Show All Records. Any idea's of what I can check when the first row of the table will not print? ,
Depends quite a bit on what you want to do.
If you're just looking to control a mail-merge, then DDE is probably the best way to go.
However, if you're looking to create a more sophisticated report using Word as a template, you might also consider using OpenOffice ODT format as an interim step. These are actually just zip files, so if you unzip them using ObjectPAL via a commandline utility, you can get at the text portion pretty easily.
This allows you to create a complex template in OpenOffice with characteristic field markers that you can can process and rewrite with the markers replaced with any fields or data you want.
Finally you rezip up the template as a new file which can be opened in Word or OpenOffice.
It sounds complicated, but it really isn't, and it does free you from the limitations of the Paradox reporting tool.
That seems to happen to me when the table is corrupted (which happens a lot). Check to see if it needs a rebuild. Otherwise, see if there is a specific error on the alert (click on Help or Details). Post it.
