  Hi,
  
  I know what a fp3 file is, but that was not the question!
  
  My question was how to convert a fp3 file to a editable fr3 file. Our server generates fp3 files of all generated reports and saves them to an archive. Now I want to use this saved outputs in FastReport.
  
  My current code is (c++builder)
  
  

                  //there must be 2 TfrxReport Components:       fp   and    fr
  
      fp->PreviewPages->LoadFromFile("c:\\test.fp3");
      for (int p = 0; p < fp->PreviewPages->Count; ++p)
      {
          TfrxPage *srcPage = fp->PreviewPages->Page[p];
          TMemoryStream *str = new TMemoryStream();
          srcPage->SaveToStream(str);
          str->Position = 0;
          TfrxPage *pag = new TfrxPage(fr);
          pag->LoadFromStream(str);
          delete str;
      }
      fr->ShowReport();
  

  
  But that does not work - no new Pages or other TfrxViews are added to the report... (FastReport 4.5)
  Shouldn't there be at least one page in the new report? (Because I create a new Page with "new TfrxPage")
  
  Thanks in advance,
  Robert

  Hi,
  
  It's me again [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" /> I found a way to convert a FP3 file to FR3 manually: Open the Preview of the FP3-File and open the preview in Editor (Button "Edit Page" in Preview-Form). Now opens the FastReport Designer where I can save the page with "File" - "Save as". Is there a way to do that in my code without opening the Report Designer? Best regards, Robert[/img]
