preview problems

FW 8.01

Today I had to take a photo from the screen with my camera.
If I try to make a screenshot with the capture software the lines are
there and I can’t demonstrate the problem.

What could be the problem.
I use the report.prg from the Fivewin samples and my own database.

I uploaded a zip to www.atzwanger.com/fwreport/report.zip
Thanks in advance
Otto

Otto,

What is the problem ?

Is it a painting error ? A runtime error ?

Antonio, thank you for your answer.
There should be a line in every row.

Otto

Otto, please build a reduced and self-contained sample of the problem.

Otto,

I compiled and ran your sample and all the lines are showing here.

I am using FWH 8.01/xHarbour and XP Pro, SP2.

REPORT.prg(29) Warning W0001 Ambiguous reference: 'BAR'

Once fixed this, it seems to work fine. I can see all the lines.

Enrico, thank you.

I commended out line 29. There is no warning now.
But the result is still the same. I am on a VISTA PC.

Now I tried with XP. There all is working correctly.
prev32.dll in my FWH is from 11-5-2005.

One of the many Vista's bugs and incompatibilities?

Enrico, the problem is that VISTA is the standard we have to follow.

Otto,

I fully agree that FWH has to properly work on Vista, and we need to solve it.

But just a comment: only 9% of the market use Vista these days. Around 75% still use XP.
I recently saw the comparative chart and was impressed with the results... I trying to locate it to show it to you.

Otto,

Are you having this problem with all reports when running on Vista, or just that report? I don't have Vista here to check.

Yes, I'm only saying that if it is really a bug of Vista then it will be probably fixed by MS.

Early XP was a real disaster, do you remember?
