Strange Report Preview Display

When using version 9 and viewed reports on the screen, they would appear as I expected.____Now that I have upgraded to version 12.5, I noticed the band lines appear on either side of the report. This occurs in the run time version of my application where the user is doing a preview of the report on the screen. (Run time version is written in .NET 2008 (VB) using the rswrun.exe and a text control file to send parameters to the report.)____Header lines are shown shown with a red square/rectangle in the gray area of the report window and detail lines show as a green square/rectangle.____The text is black, but any lines that I have drawn in the report are shown as green lines.____How do I remove the band lines from showing in the report preview the user sees?____I find that if I uncheck all the display boxes in the editor, I lose these lines in the preview, but I also lose the color coding in the editor, which I don^t want to do. I don^t see anything in the documentation that discusses this, so any assistance would be greatly appreciated.____Thank you.____

Go to Options Preferences and uncheck the colored bands/preview box and see if that helps. ____Kathleen__R&R Support

Setting Options Preferences as you suggested will remove the bandlines from appearing in the preview of the report, but the lines I have in the report (color set to black) show as green in the preview.____I changed the way I am accessing the reports. I was using the OCX, but now I am using a control file. Could the access change have something to do with this anomaly?

Check the version of your RRPD.DLL. If it does not match your executable you can end up seeing strange print results.____Kathleen__R&R Support
