Using subreport across multiple reports.

rbuser

I want to use the same subreport across multiple reports. Is there a demo
or documentation that demonstrates how to do this?

You can use report templates to accomplish this. A report template can be
loaded into a subreport. There should be an example called
DynamicSubreportLoading in the end user folder of our installed demos that
uses a subreport descendent that loads a specified template from file or
database so that you can use a common subreport component in multiple
reports. Then you only have to change one template in order to affect all
the reports that use this subreport component for easier maintenance down
the road. If you don't have this demo in your version of RB 4, off the top
of my head I think we added it in RB 5.0, here is a link to a downlable
version of it. You'll have to ignore some new property errors when the
report loads because it will be in RB version 7 for Delphi 5 format.
