Oh. I think you are wrong. I can modify report in run time. I have tested it a lot. I dont include the reports in the exe file and emiting 'modify report' with the apropiated view menu, the user can modify it without problems. But if you are running an modal form, the design report window disappears inmediately. That's the problem
