It would surprise me if the BDE version is in play here (but being
surprised often is one of the charms of this business <g> )
 
I vaguely recall that the "metafile problem" and the "TEMP problem"
are somehow connected.
 
Some guesses to try ...
 
1.  checking permissions on your TEMP directory to insure you
    aren't having a problem accessing it
 
2.  check that the path to your TMP and TEMP dirs are not "too long"
    I think there is a problem about this.

Nello
Can't find an update newer than the one I have (3.0.7) for QRStandard and D5.
There IS one for D6 but that is no good for me.
Curious thing is that I am running Win2000 Pro as my development machine, without this problem.
 
Question:  If different workstations had different versions of the BDE installed could this cause the reported problem?

around last May I remember reading about 2 QR problems
in Windows 2000.   One had something to do with TEMP files
and this was the other one.
 
ISTR QuSoft fixed both in a 2K update available on their
website.   Probably worth a look.    (www.qusoft.com ?)

Hi
 
Have a site running a a Windows LAN and my app based on Paradox.
 
They have recently upgraded one of their workstations to Win2000 Pro (and I suspect added some other software)
 
Now my app is generating an error message whenever this user previews a report and tries to view the second page.
The reports are QuickReports and the message is "Metafile not valid".
 
Has anyone come across this before or provide any insights as to where I might start looking?
 
TIA
 
Mark
