    Try using the Report.Template.OnLoadStart event. This event passes the
    Stream as a parameter. There are two private Report.Template methods that
    you can copy to check the format. Open ppTmplat.pas and search for the
    following methods:

    function IsValidASCIISignature(aStream: TStream): Boolean;
    function IsValidBinarySignature(aStream: TStream): Boolean;
