Hello world,

i just fixed another one. I am sooo happy that I bought a source code license. I should have done this much earlier.

Because nobody answerd to my other fixes, it seems to me, that i´m the onlyone still using ReportPro3 or all others have fixed these bugs themselves, because they have baught the sourcode much much earlier.

Anyway, i want to share what I found out with the world This time the problem seemed to be in the Classmate Printer-Config-Dialog, which the ReportPro3-Designer is using. I just inserted three lines.

Greetings Heiko

Hi Heiko,

Thanks a lot for sharing your finds and fixes!

Indeed I think not too many people use RP3, the vast majority is still using RP2, maybe because it is easier to use without the dependency to Classmate I assume. Or people were not very troubled by those specific bugs, as you know we VOers are anyway so used to working around myriads of bugs and problems in VO . But of course thanks for posting your findings, I am sure they will be helpful to some, sooner or later!
