Sure, because PreviewForm is nil at this time. see tech-tip 'Controlling the Built-in Previewer' in section 'Formats and Devices (Report Output)'. If you are using Templates you should read the tips from that section too, regarding the re-assigning of events.
Thanks Chris Actually I don't use PreviewForm, I just make use of ppReport1. When I issue ppReport1.PrintReport; It comes out the PreviewForm, that what I expected, simple, but the 'PreviewForm' is in wsNormal state, How can I 'Maximize' that particular 'PreviewForm'? Please advice

I DO SIR!!!
Don't presume all people post message here, when they can't accomplish some task! Simple enough that's are fullish enough to do. Obviously they looking around for answer until they can't get it. DO YOU think by clicking the dailup connecter-> click connect, then enter user name password... Wait for the connection.... GREAT connectet, then click on the Outlook Express -> View -> Goto... News... Click digital-metaphors.public.reportbuilder.general then look for their post. is easier the reading the manual somewhere else? Especially when follow-up post? I know you guys are busy supporting the 'whole world'. If keep asking people to read 'here and there', what the hack this newsgroup for? And you call yourself as from TeamDM by keep asking people to READ here and there. When people follow up the same thread for the second time, they propably dont understand the tips and need further advice. Why can't you just be "kind" to explain a little bit more in the SECOND FOLLOWUP. Why make such presumption? Why let poeples follow up messages till this thread(you are reading now and probably hard-feeling) and feel disappointed instead of feeling proud of using RBuilder's News Groups.
excuse my asking, but from your last message I couldn't see any relation to my given hint. If you had a problem in using the tech-tip or to implement it the right way you should be so specific and tell us what you have done and was going wrong. But you simply recalled the question, therefore I asked you if gave it a chance. One thing I should clarify, 'TeamDM' means not that I am related in any way to digital-metaphors! I am a ReportBuilder just like you, and trying to help other users with their problem in using it. If you don't like my answers or didn't found them helpful, no problem, you could easily ignore them, but I really do my very best to help you ond others. I'm not 'hard-feeling', because I know it is a simple misunderstanding.
Let me try it a second time.
procedure TForm1.ppReport1PreviewFormCreate(Sender: TObject); begin
I guess, you had problems in using the right event, you have to use the 'OnPreviewFormCreate' of your report component. Once you have done it, it is linked to the current report template you are using (hardcoded via dfm). This is no problem as long as you don't load another report template, because you have now to relink all events after loading. Did you have problems in relinking the events?

see tech-tip 'Controlling the Built-in Previewer' in section
'Formats and Devices (Report Output)'. If you are using Templates you should
read the tips from that section too, regarding the re-assigning of events.

maximize your window in the onPreviewFormCreate of the report component
