    Hi,

    My recommendation would be to save this default report as a report template
    file (.rtm) using the Report.Template property settings. You can use RAP to
    keep all the report procedures local to the template. Then whenever you
    load a new report, you can first load the default template file first and
    have that information waiting for you.

    Loading a template...

    Report.Template.FileName := 'c:\Default.rtm';
    Report.Template.LoadFromFile;
    Report.Print;

    Hi Ciro,

    Sorry, I'm having a bit of trouble understanding what you need. If you set
    the SaveAsTemplate property of the TppReport object to True, ReportBuilder
    will ask your user if he/she wants to save the report if the original
    template has been changed.
