TECH TIP: Executing Reports in a Windows Service Environment

1. Configure that report to suppress all dialogs
   
   Delphi/Pascal

   Report.ShowPrintDialog := False; Report.ShowCancelDialog := False; Report.ShowAutoSearchDialog := False;

   1 2 3

   Report.ShowPrintDialog := False; Report.ShowCancelDialog := False; Report.ShowAutoSearchDialog := False;

2. Provide a thread-safe environment/container in which the report can execute. See the RBuilder.hlp on the Background printing feature fpr details.
3. Typically a Windows service application executes under a special user account. To Print to the printer, you will need to install applicable printer drivers excplicity to the user account.
