I have a program, which uses quickreports 5 to generate some reports. The program has always been compiled on one specific PC. Now i want to develop the program on other machines, i have a big problem with the quickreports.
install quick report delphi xe2 18

Although i installed the same version of quickreports (5.0.2) on the new machines, i cant get the program to work on them. As soon as i open a form with a quickreport on the new machines, i get the error:
It is also possible that the new version drops an (obsolete) property but in that case component vendor usually takes care to silently ignore the property during streaming so no exception is raised. So I suspect that you have actually an older version of the QuickReport installed in th new machine. I don't use QuickReport myself so I don't know when the PreviewLeft property was introduced and what for it is needed... if it is left coordinate for the preview window, then I'd say it is harmless to ignore it and clean it up from DFMs - the hard way is to open the reports one by one in IDE and press "Ignore" in error dlg, the easy way is to use some tool, ie I believe Jedi might have such a tool.
Never mind. The process apparently takes minutes, and provides no progress feedback. Neither did I see, when I checked, any CPU activity with their installer. But eventually I returned to the IDE after 10 minutes of email and whatnot, and it reported it had finished.
Yes, we did it a while ago before I sold the business. From the date of the bpls we compiled in June 2020. The clients have probably been using the application for over 6 months. We used crystal reports for all the reporting except for printing the bill, only because the delay with crystal was to long. So the quick reports gets exercised a lot.
QuickReport is a banded report generator written in Delphi. Integrated very closely with Delphi and C Builder, reports are designed in the Delphi IDE, using the IDE form designer as a report designer. Quickreport can use any data component descended from the VCL T Dataset class. The standard version is easy to install and easy to manipulate. It offers a nice interface which makes it more attractive to users.
