    Are you saying that you want to give your users a "sample view" of what
    each report might look like? If so, then you would want to be loading
    report "archives" that you would have "pre-made" by running the reports
    yourself with real data and saving them to archive files/blobs. Look up
    report archives in the help.

    Hi Mauro,

    1. UI

    You can create a form with a listbox or compbo box for the report templates
    and a TppViewer the report sample.

    2.Report Sample

    a. I like Paul Toms idea for using .raf files to display the report sample.

    b. If instead you want to generate a blank report, set each
    report/childreport AutoStop True and NoDataBehaviors [ndBlankReport]

    example:

    uses
    ppTypes;

    myReport.AutoStop := True;
    myReport.NoDataBehaviors := [ndBlankReport];

    mySubreport.Report.AutoStop := True;
    mySubreport.Report.NoDataBehaviors := [ndBlankReport];
