Lebans ReportToPDF - missing line of report

I have been using Lebans ReportToPDF code for a couple months without
problems. We recently changed the format of the invoice and now the
first line of the detail section of my report is missing 2 of the 9
fields. The rest of the report is fine.

In looking at his website there is a version note on 2/21/06 indicating

he fixed the "missing lines produced by the report line tool issue". I

am wondering if this was the problem I am describing.

I am pretty sure I have the most current version of his program - 7.51
dated 2/21/06, with the strStorage.dll with a creation date of 3/22/06.
Has anyone else run into this problem? Or maybe Stephen can help me
out. My programming skills are limited and I am not even sure where to

start to figure this out. Any comments would be appreciated.

Your issue has nothing to do with the "missing lines produced by the report
line tool issue" fix for ReportToPDF.

Manually export the Report to Snapshot format. Examine the resultant file in
the Snapshot viewer. Are the fields still missing on the first line of the
Detail section?

I tested the report by exporting it to a snapshot file and the data
does appear in the file. I also stepped through the code and looked at
the snapshot file that your code creates in the temp folder, and it too
contains the all the data.

Any other suggestions? Could it have anything to do with properties of
those fields or the fact I am using vertical lines to create columns on
the invoice?

Can you Email me the Snapshotfile so I can test it here?

I've only been using it a few days. So far, I love it.
Haven't noticed any dropped data. But I only use
it to create electronic copies of documents printed
for archival purposes. I don't usually open these
files unless a document that was supposed to come
out of the printer failed to come out, was marred,
scrunched or otherwise misprinted.

Did you just add these vertical lines and THEN
start noticing the problem? Or, where the vertical
lines there in the report during the couple of months
during which you experienced NO problems with
use of Lebans' code?

It was a Z order/transparency issue. The OP resolved it be enusuring the
TextBox controls were "brought to front". I aske them to try the latest
version of the DynaPDF libbrary, available free to download from
www.dynaforms.com. It resolved the initial issue. I'll add this newer
version of the DynaPDF library to the ReportToPDF archive soon.
