Stopping a user from switching the designer to a subreport

edited September 2002 in End User
Using D6, RB6.03, daAsta, custom report explorer I have a dynamic
loading sub report derived from TppSubReport. Since the sub report is
replaced at report generation time (throwing away any user changes) I
want to essentially hide the details form the user.

Ideally I would like to remove this class of subreports from the
tbsReport TTabSet and from the Report Outline.

If that is not possible/reasonable I would at least like to prevent
them from switching to the tab.

What is my best approach? I suspect I need to replace the report
designer. If so then can you suggest the best spots to change?

Thanks,

    We do not support this. You'll have to change the source to be able to do
    add this capability. You'll have to keep the ReportTabs to only show the
    single tab. Remove the subreport from the outline by setting each
    subreport's OutlineSettings.CreateNode property to false.
