We don't have anything built which is intended to do this:) It sounds as if
the new components are not getting assigned to the report correctly. Maybe
it is getting assigned to the band of the other report?

labels in two subreports?

Are these child type subreports (check Subreport.PrintBehavior), which are
set to ShiftRelativeTo? You may want to configure the ShiftRelativeTo
references at runtime, based on which subreports are going to be visible.
That should be…OnPrintingComplete is deprecated. It will only fire in pre-RB4.0 reports.

Which version of RB do you have?
The reason may be if you created reports in RB Enterprise (demo copy
perhaps), with RAP code, and then try to run them in RB Pro. RAP is only
available in RB Enterprise.

me) like a little white house with a yellow roof, on the RB Standard

I made a simple demo which shows the data settings dialog, then launches the
report designer. When you create a new dataview in a report, it should use
the datasettings as they were configured in the datasettings dialog.

If the Report.BeforePrint is not being called, then be sure to reassign the
