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
