Title: Burst Report - Random png attachment
Post by: kc9400 on 04 Feb 2015 05:46:41 AM
How do I suppress this or remove it?

When bursting the report it is coming through with a png file which contains and empty black box.

Nothing like this is in the report, it's simply 2 lists that show a count of some daily numbers.

Anyone have any suggestions to what I could be missing?

Is there anything hidden on the page? Might be worth using the "Show hidden objects" option to check?

No, nothing hidden. That was the first thing I checked.

I've had it come up before and I cannot remember the solution. Teaches me for not documenting it :(

Do you burst your report out in a particular format? Could there be something in a conditional block (for example) that only gets displayed in PDF output? The empty black box sounds a bit like it's looking for an image on the server that it can't find...

Just my 2p worth

It just runs in standard HTML, bursts to 6 set emails and there are no conditional blocks or anything like that. Made it from scratch so an empty slate.

Possible on the image thing, but it doesn't happen in any of the other reports that I burst.

I'll keep digging around and see what I can find. Cheers guys

Hmmmm if I change the setting in File > Report Properties > Report Styles and use 8.x styles instead of 10.x styles the attachment no longer appears....
