I've just checked it and mine has that option disabled as well.

Great. Thank you.

Hi ibauer,

Could you please confirm that you have downloaded the packages? We will remove them from the server. Also, did those packages work for you?

Thanks in advance.

Hi Narcís,

Sorry for the late reply. Yes, you can remove the packages from the server as I've already downloaded them. I made sure that the old versions are completely removed from my system, used TeeInstall.exe to install those precompiled packages into D2007, but I cannot make it work. No matter what I do, the print margins are not updated when I try to modify them via the spin edit boxes.

This is just driving me insane.

I have been using TeeChart Pro since v5, reinstalled it million times, but never had a problem like this one.

Hi ibauer,

We could finally reproduce the issue here using an older RAD Studio 2007 version (11.0.2804.9245). But works fine for me here using version 11.0.2902.10471. This could be because a bug in earlier RAD Studio 2007 versions. Which RAD Studio 2007 version are you using? Do you have all updates available installed?

Thanks in advance.

Thanks for getting back to me. I'm pretty sure I have the latest updates installed. This is what About box of my Delphi says:

Hi ibauer,

Sorry, my bad!

I can confirm that I can reproduce this here using Delphi 2007 too. I had been testing with Delphi 7 where it works fine. We will investigate the issue.

Sorry for the inconveniences this may have caused.

Apology accepted. Any chance the fix will find its way into long anticipated v8.04?

Hi ibauer,

I'm not able to confirm this yet. We still haven't found which is the problem. It could make into v8.04 if we find it very soon. I'll let you know when we have further news. However, if the maintenance release is published and we later find the solution we could send you the sources with the fix.

Well, I certainly do not intend to be a PITA, but this is a newly introduced bug in v8 which was definitely not present in v7. So, from my point of view, I shelled out a fair amount of money to upgrade from v7 to v8 which I cannot use as this bug is a show stopper for me.

Hi ibauer,

We have found a solution to the issue. I just sent you TeePrevi.pas with the fix.

I've just applied that hotfix, recompiled the source code and I'm no longer able to reproduce this bug, which mean it is probably solved.

Good work! Thanks a lot.

Hi ibauer,

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