Reading an archive of a drill down report

edited February 2003 in Subreports
I've created a drill down report that is archived. However, when I read the
archive file, the drill down capability seems to be lost.

Is it possible to read an archived drill down without losing the drill down
feature?

Thanks,
John

    No, drill down is supported only in live preview mode, because the report
    regenerates the pages based on the drill down. The archive is a collection
    of page objects that are read from a stream in the archive reader component.
    If drill down was to be supported, the archives would need to include all of
    the possible drill down expansion draw commands and a pagination engine
    would need to be embedded in the archive reader to handle redrawing of the
    pages as they are drilled down.

    Thanks for the suggestion.
