Open the .dfm file and modify the property setting for Report.SaveAsTemplate

We have many customers using RB and DBISAM together - works great.
An example of using DBISAM is installed to RBuilder\Demos\EndUser

Conceptually there is no difference in using the Desigenr or code.
The Report.Parameters are part of the report definition.

Thanks for reporting this.
For now code it like this...
