[DUG] D2006 Rave reports

[John Bird]

Yes that did the trick thanks for bypassing the dialog, so I have solved 2
out of 3....

I would have solved this in time but I am having problems with the help - so
I am finding it difficult to lookup help about properties like ssAllowSetup.

What do others us for reference for Code Based reports?????????

For the other question - When I know the user wants to choose a printer is
there any way to either do the selection of printers myself or send the
rvSystem straight to the printer selection dialog?

I see there is a printers (Tstringlist) and a PrinterIndex which I might be
able to use, but as I can't find which unit to point to to access these
(because of the vague help).  When I try and put code for "printers" the
code insight compiler helpfully thinks I mean the printers unit itself -
which is no help at all!

This is my best solution so far.....not exactly elegant

      ShowMessage('Click the Setup button to see a list of printers and
options');

ie do nothing but in a friendly way  :) !
