I've recently started running into a problem in which reports which are expected to have data show up with no data generated at all -- just a blank page.
This happens both with users in compiled 7.6, but an interactive user application and a robot application that generates and emails PDF reports. In the later case, the PDF gets generated but cannot be opened -- Adobe reports that the document contains no pages (and, in fact, the PDF file is only 2K and when opened with notepad contains no pages). The users appear to be properly connected to the database since they can see and edit forms, and so on. The robot process runs disconnected except when it has to fire off a report, so it always has a fresh connection to the database. I mention this because at first I suspected dropped connections on the network. The problem is not consistent, unfortunately. Some reports work all the time, some as little as 80% of the time. In general, restarting the application seems to allow the report to run. This is a new problem since 7.6 and I'm wondering if some syntax requirements have tightened up, or if 7.6 (or the compiler) are somehow more restrictive about environment space, or something like that. Does anyone have any experience with this? -- Larry
