RE: [DUG] Range check error loading forms

[David Brennan]

Title: Message

It's possible that at some recent time you have done a build which has recompiled the Quick Report dcu files (assuming you have the Quick Reports source). If you currently have range checking turned on in your Delphi environment then the Quick Report dcu's will have been compiled with range checking on... and it's entirely possible that Quick Reports doesn't support range checking and contains range check errors (we have a similar issue with a PNG unit we use).   If this is the case then you can possibly fix it by turning range checking off in your project options and doing a full build. Another alternative which will stop it from happening in future is to explicitely turn range checking off at the top of each of the Quick Report pas files (can't remember what the switch is, something like $R-. This is what we did to fix the PNG unit).   David.   -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]On Behalf Of Eric Tishler Sent: Wednesday, 10 March 2004 9:43 AM To: NZ Borland Developers Group - Delphi List Subject: RE: [DUG] Range check error loading forms 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   Eric Tishler Software Architect Resolute Partners, LLC Phone: 203.271.1122 Fax: 203.271.1460 [EMAIL PROTECTED]   -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]On Behalf Of Stacey Verner Sent: Tuesday, March 09, 2004 2:33 PM To: NZ Borland Developers Group - Delphi List Subject: RE: [DUG] Range check error loading forms   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.   Stacey -----Original Message----- From: Eric Tishler [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, 10 March 2004 5:37 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] 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, Eric Eric Tishler Software Architect Resolute Partners, LLC Phone: 203.271.1122 Fax: 203.271.1460 [EMAIL PROTECTED]
