Question : Printing question

Hi EE
I have developed a small raffle ticket generater. There are three tickets per page and we print a minimum of 100 pages. Problem every time we reach about 25 pages we get the message can't print object. We then restart the app starting with the last number printed. My question. is there a reason for the print job to stop every 25 pages

Answer : Printing question

Yeah, I'm curious too.

What does the report look like? Does it have bitmaps on it, for example, and the raffle information labels appear over the bitmap(s)???

It sounds like each page has the same "weight" in terms of bytes. And it sounds like bytes*25 is hitting upon some component's internal limit. Whether that component is GDI resources, RAM, HD space, etc., I don't know. But it seems that this is what might be happening. One way to test this theory is to modify the report template such that it has a lighter "weight". For example, remove a graphic or two (if it has them) and see if you can print beyond 25 pages.

I no longer think it's data because you are able to resume from where you left off and you're breaking at a page boundary.

Regards,
Jon
