Title: Range check error loading forms

I can load the entire project with no problems. It is only when I try to open certain forms that the Range Check error appears.

I followed Stacey’s advice and copied the project to a safe location. Then I loaded the project, and ignored the errors. When my form loaded what was missing was a Quick Report.

Following this line of reasoning, I started a brand new project with an empty form and tried to drop various Quick Report components on the empty form. While I could drop such components at Detail and Summary bands, as soon as I tried to drop the QuickRep component itself on the form, I got the same Range Check error. So most likely it is not the DFM itself. It appears that there is something in the Quick Reports package that the Delphi IDE does not like.

I tried to uninstall and reinstall the entire Quick Report package, but I still get the same error after the re-install.

Now I know what is causing the problem. I just don’t know why.

Any further ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks again,

Eric

Sounds like one of your DFM's has got mangled...

Can you manually remove the PAS+DFM from the project files and load the project OK.

If you can I them suggest trying to recover the DFM.

Roll back to previous version (if possible and not too old) or manually edit the DFM as text to correct the issue.

This is just a guess - it may be something else altogether...

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,
