tppReport components

edited August 2001 in General
I need to print a report 5 different ways. Right now I have 5 TppReport
components on the report form. Based on what is selected, I call
ppReportNumber.Print. I have a lot of reports done this way. I save the 5
reports as templates.
I try to use 1 report component and load different templates at runtime. I
don't think it works though.

Is it necessary to have 5 components?
Does it add a lot of overhead to the program?
Is there a better way to handle it?

Thank you

    No.


    No. You could test this. Add one TppReport components. Compile. Check size.
    Add 100 TppReport components. Compile. Check Size. Little difference. It
    does take up more resources--but nothing to worry about.


    No. Load the templates at run time into the same report. If ther user can
    select a set of reports (eg you have 5 different reports and they want 1, 2,
    & 5) then load each one at run time in to a TppSubReport and set it as a
    pbSection. If you need some sample code, let me know and I will post it.

    FWIW, I just posted some sampel code in the sub-reports newsgroup.
