Clarif things
Hello
I'm using the trial versions so let me see if I got it right?
I can prepare several reports save them as *.rtm files
and after that drop one ppReport on my application and use
it for loading and printing the different reports?
This is possible as long as the reports doesn't include events
or there is no need to make any changes between loading and
printings the reports?
That's possible only on the enterprise version using RAP options?
Please confirm my comprehension.

Yes, I do exaclyt that (except I use both database reports and file based
reports).
Not exactly. If you have events in your report, you can load them but the
events must not change their name in your application and must have RTTI
info (not in the private, protected or public sectiosn) for them so that the
report loader can link the event. Alternatively, you can link the events by
code--but if they are not generic events (i.e. they are specific to a single
report and not all reports) then this can become a maintenance issue.
RAP makes things a lot cleaner when working with reports that have custom
events. For example, in one report I have a label is colored depending upon
it's value. I do this with RAP because it is isolated to that report.
Hope this helps. If you need clarification, feel free to ask.
