  Sorry for the delay but I have been away and only just seen this reply.
  
  I don't understand though, what mustn't I keep adding?
  
  I have about 12 reports, each on its own form. One form (only one) also has a pdf export component and an excel export component, that's all I have, no other components on any of the forms expept for a report component. If I am not meant to put these two export components onto a form then what are they for?
  
  I haven't put any Word /RTF export components on any forms but I still get these appearing multiple times in the drop down list under the 'export' button (which seems to appear by default).

  don't keep adding export components either from the tool palette or by creating in code. or you will see duplicates.
  they are global to the preview.

  I have a form where I put all the export components, then I include the form on other forms where I have report components.
  
  IOW, have the export component in one place only, sort of inherit them on other forms, not on every form with a report component.

  fix at file frxdsgnintf.pas
  
  procedure TfrxExportFilterCollection.Register(Filter: TfrxCustomExportFilter);
  var
  i: Integer;
  Item: TfrxExportFilterItem;
  begin
  if Filter = nil then Exit;
  for i := 0 to Count - 1 do
  if Items.Filter.ClassName = Filter.ClassName then // HERE ADD .CLASSNAME
  Exit;
  
  Item := TfrxExportFilterItem(Add);
  Item.Filter := Filter;
  end;
