 |
|
I have been using QuickReports as distributed by Borland with Delphi 4.
I have run into the (well documented) problem that this version of
QuickReports does not support pathnames to the windows TEMPORARY files
folder that are longer than around 30 characters... therefore my existing
programs will not work on Windows XP.
Has anyone got a copy of a patched/fixed qrprntr.pas or qrprntr.dcu
(compiled for Delphi 4). I do not have the .pas file as it was not shipped
with Delphi 4 Pro.
Thanks in advance.

G'day Philip,
There is no need to update QuickReports to run it on XP. I am
currently doing just that (D4, QR3 on XP Pro).
What you need to do is change the name of 2 XP Environment
variables, temp and tmp. The default names will be VERY long,
eg temp = xxx%Documents and Settings%xxxxxx. Change this to
temp = temp and make sure your PC has a directory named this
and users have access to it. All fixed. Sorry, I can't
remember exactly where to make this change in XP as I am
currently answering from a Win98 PC, so I can't look it up.
Cheers
Bill
