[DUG] Rave Reports BE 6.0 - was QuickReports 4.05 issues

[Hayward, Phillip]

After listening to good advice here on the group and internet I have
decided to drop QuickReports in favour of Rave.

That said, I now have an oddity with Rave Reports.
Trying to create three reports programmatically printing them in one
run. This has worked out really easily in Rave reports, basically using
SetTab, PrintTab and print routines. All of the data in the reports is
presented within boxes using the BOXLINEALL function in the SetTab
routine. 

If I just run the reports one after another there is no issue. However I
am having difficulty getting them to print on separate pages. I tried
using the NEWPAGE function. This successfully prints each report on a
separate page however it prints the box lines from the previous pages
report first and then overwrite it with the following report. This still
persists even if a ClearTabs or ClearAllTabs command is issued prior to
the following report being printed.

Has anyone else experienced this issue or have any idea as to what may
cause it?

Maybe your composite report object (or unit) is now also freeing it on
program exit?  Just a WAG, but try changing that line to:

  if QRPrinter <> nil then FreeAndNil(QRPrinter);

Worth a crack.
