By the way, Those of you who are using the Delphi 6 Personal/Trial versions, (or who are component authors) should be aware that the DCUs for this version of D6 are not compatible with those of regular D6. This is especially an issue if you want to download and use third party components ma

Hi Mark, Further to Nello's comment, I see the following posting : Win2000 has an extremely long temp directory path and since QR uses the temp directory and has a very small string assigned to hold it, it blows up. Try changing the temp directory to Windows\temp or something short. HTH, Craig.
