RE: [DUG] Range check error loading forms

Title: Message

I have not updated any components in over a month now. The development environment has pretty well settled into a constant state (other than the application development itself).

I took your suggestion and copied the project somewhere safe. Then I loaded it again and chose to ignore the error for the offending form.

This was a huge help as I was able to easily isolate the problem. I Use Quick Reports (*ugh* - I know – I inherited this project along with Quick Reports)

Anyway, Quick Report has many components, but it comes down to the main QuickRep component itself. While I can drop detail and summary bands on an empty form, the QuickRep component itself causes a Range Check error when it is dropped on the form.

I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling the package, unfortunately no matter what I do I still get the same error once Quick Reports is reinstalled.

Any other ideas would be appreciated.

Thanks again,

Eric

Have you updated any components (your own or third party's).

This is telling you that there is a number stored in the DFM that is too big for the variable that takes it, so you may have changed an unsigned integer to an integer or something like that.

In my experience componente hardly ever get deleted when you see errors like this.

The best plan is to copy the project. Let delphi make the changes then compare the dfm files. You will then see what has changed.

Subject: [DUG] Range check error loading forms

There are several forms in a Delphi project I am working on. Everything worked fine, then all of the sudden today I get an error when I try to bring up the form in the Delphi (6.0) IDE.

The Error reads: Error Reading Form (in the title bar)

Range check error. Ignore the error and continue? NOTE:

Ignoring the error may cause components to be deleted or

Property values to be lost.

I do not believe I made (or saved) any changes that may cause this.

Can any body help me?

Thank you,
