end-user- designer not asking to save (when in preview tabsheet)

rbuser

At the moment we are working to make some end user reports. We noticed the
following:

If you make changes to a report in the designer (run time), there is no
confirmation to ask you for saving when you close the form and you are in
the preview tab.

For example, you open a report, make changes , go to the preview tab and
close the form. If you do this all chanes are gone. Only if you are in the
data or design tabsheet, you are asked if you want to save the report.

Is there a way this can be set, or do you have to update the report
builder code for this?

Kind regards,

John.

We use the following:

Delphi 7
ReportBuilder Pro 10.01

I mainly work in the stDatabase-mode.
In this mode, the save question never seems to be triggered.
Is this a feature not available in the stDatabase-mode? Or can I enable it
somewhere?

If you run the RBuilder\Demos\EndUser\ReportExplorer, this example

Report.SaveAsTemplate needs to be set to True.

I recommend using using the Report.Template.OnNew and
Report.Template.OnLoadEnd events to initalize Report.SaveAsTemplate to True.
Otherwise, you might load an old report that was saved with this value set
to False and then the designer would not ask you to save changes for that
report.
