Problem with Sage Line50 Reports

Post by azdour »

Hi All,

I've installed Sage Line50 v11 under Wine on my Ubuntu 8.04. I can open my data and in general it seems to be working well (other than the html based left-hand list does not display, but that's not a problem because I believe it duplicates functionality found on the main toolbar).

My problem is with the report designer. When a report is opened it displays the following error:

"Uexpected Data Format"

Does anyone know what I could do to investigate further and see if I can get reports working?

What version of Wine? If it's not the latest development release, upgrade and see if that fixes your problem.

If that doesn't work, post console output. (Use pastebin if it's long.)

Hi,

I'm using Wine 1.1.17, so will try at some point to update to 1.1.18. When running the Report Designer from the terminal, the following is output:

fixme:system:SystemParametersInfoW Unimplemented action: 4132 (SPI_GETDROPSHADOW)
fixme:edit:EDIT_EM_FmtLines soft break enabled, not implemented
fixme:commdlg:GetFileName95 Flags 0x00800000 not yet implemented

The first two fixme's appear when the Report Designer opens, the last appears when I open the file dialog to open a report - but I think this is usual to get this output as the file dialog runs. Apart from that when the error dialog in the Report Designer appears, nothing else gets output in the terminal.

I wonder if it is as simple as the different line breaks between Windows and Linux that's causing the 'unexpected data format'? The report is there, I believe it does try and load it but when its loading it must be checking for something and that something its not correct...

As a follow-up, even if I try to create a new report it displays the same error, and that's not even loading a file. So I'm beginning to believe its something internal to the Report Designer...
