First, you cannot modify report that's included in exe. Second, it's safer to modify a temp copy.

>Are you using the REPLACE command with a variable that the user can set in the configuration?

Yes, you'll use user provided info in REPLACE command.

>Do we have to include the temporary report file in the executable or the original?

Original.

>>>We supply an executable file to our customers that includes more than 200 report templates. We want our users to be able to choose a specific font for all the reports. However we cannot put this in a variable and replace the Fontface field in all FRX reports with this variable before compiling. This doesn't work. Is there another solution besides supplying all report files as external files?

lcTempRepName = SYS(2015)

>>USE (lcTempRepName + ".frx")
