Our packages don't have version info on them yet. You'll have to manually
take control of displaying the RB version number in your app. If you look
in the report designer's Help | About box, it displays the version info.
RB always relies on the computer's regional settings. This is used for the
display formats. There is no concept in RB of using an application's
regional settings. You can control the language setting for RB. See the

Change the subreport's PrintBehavior property to pbSection. This will force
