Guy,

I was thinking along these lines also, but here is the deal.

For all reports we're using a special form class. This class has PrintReport method. The class also has buttons such as Preview, etc. The preview button calls this method with the 'Preview' parameter

Now, each report has the following code in its PrintPreview method

report form ThisParticularReport &tcDestination

I'm wondering how can I incorporate your idea so I don't have to change all the individual report forms (actual forms) and only fix the base class?

If it's not broken, fix it until it is.
