Well, how to remove them? Preview option is also in the shortcut menu when right click on the report. Hoe to get rid of it? Also, I do not know way how to remove the Previe button from the standard VF toolbar for report designer. The toolbar is needed, but Preview should not work. If you know how to make some code snippet run just after the Preview option selected and before report start to render any data in it, it would be possible to kill preview window using windows API functions. Unfortunately, data environment code do not run at all when we design report and then run it inside of the standalone EXE in the run-time mode. Anyone know way how to add code to reord data environment on the fly and run it correctly in run-time? In design time it works, and return .F. from BeforeOpenTables abnd Init events cause report do not run. See also other my answer about why it is not possible to prepare data.
