Hi,

I have been having real problems recompiling and installing the TQRChart component. I have searched the newsgroups and have followed all of the advice offered in the various posts.

I have finally got to a situation where the TQRChart component no longer disappears from the D2007 IDE when you close and restart Delphi, but the misery continues...

At design time I can add a QuickRep to a form, drop a QRChart on the detail band, and add a series. When I right-clickthe QuickRep and select Preview, the report with the chart previews as expected. When I compile, I get:

'Access violation at address 0041E5C2 in module Test.exe. Read of address 00000008'

If I save, close and reopen the project, I get the message

'Error creating form: Access violation at address 2003179E in module rtl100.bpl. Read of address 00000008'

Please could you provide compile packages and units for the TQRChart component in case there is a problem with recompiling here, and advise exactly where the compiled files need to be located.

Thanks,

Steve

Hi Steve,

Yes, this is a known issue in QrTee.pas as described here. We have already fixed it for the next maintenance release. In the meantime I'm going to send QrTee.pas with the fix included.

Narcis,

Thanks for the fixed QrTee.pas file. I had presumed the problem was of my making and as a result wasted a lot of time trying to fix something that was fundamentally unfixable!

Just out of interest, and to hopefully avoid banging my head on any more brick walls, is there a public log of known issues with TeeChart?

I see there is a maintenance release due out shortly. Will that include dpk files that have the appropriate entries in the 'requires' section. It just seemed odd to me that you ship an almost infinite variety of dpk files for the TQRChart component, but that they then still require manual editing. Similarly, the TeeRecompile tool failed to run every time, but the log file simply reported 'File not found' - might be useful to report which file?

Thanks again for your help.

You're welcome. I'm glad to hear that helped.

No, such a list doesn't exist at the moment. We may consider doing this in the future. Published information on that aspect is what we post on this forum.

Packages shipped with new maintenance release will include the QrTee.pas version I sent you and will be referencing to the QR version shipped with Delphi. Because of the number of possible versions combinations it's very difficult for us preparing and shipping packages for all of them. Anyway, I'll add your TeeRecompile modification request to our wish-list to be considered for inclusion in next release.
