  Use custom user function and change Report.ReportOptions.Name in the Delphi's code

  i now definitaly found the right way to change the name of the document:
  
  procedure frxReport1OnReportPrint(Sender: TfrxComponent);
  begin
  Showmessage(Report.Reportoptions.Name);
  Report.Reportoptions.Name := ''''+'Auftragsbestaetigung_'+<frx_rep01."MASKENKEY">+'''';
  Showmessage(Report.Reportoptions.Name);
  end;
  
  First Line, the name of my Report is shown. I named it in Report/Reportoptions/Name "Test123" (my messagebox confirms that to me)
  Second Line, i rename the ReportName (my messagebox in Line3 confirms the Report.Reportoptions.Name to "Auftragsbestaetigung_12345678"
  
  But if i press the Print Button in Fastreport and go to Printer "FreePDF", then the Filename is mentioned there as "Test123" again.
  
  I tried to put the code in different procedures of "Page" and "Report", but still the "old" name occurs.
  
  Where do i need to change the name that it is changed before FreePDF tooks the name? What is the first procedure of all? (i guess onReportPrint (Report) or OnBeforePrint (Page))
  Is it even possible to change a property value of the report in code so the changed value will be used when (in my case) i want to save the report as pdf. I guess the value of Name is saved somewhere before and will be used, no matter if we change it in code.

  What do you mean in Delphis code? You mean before FR is starting, i have to change it in the Software which calls the FastReport (in my case AVERP ERP)?
  The renaming is working (see my other post), but still the name is not taken by the Printer FreePDF.

  Try to call
  Report.Reportoptions.Name := ''''+'Auftragsbestaetigung_'+<frx_rep01."MASKENKEY">+'''';
  in the main procedure of the report script
  

  begin
  Report.Reportoptions.Name := ''''+'Auftragsbestaetigung_'+<frx_rep01."MASKENKEY">+'''';
  end.

  i tried it in the main, but it still does not work. Or, to say it correctly, the renaming does work (tried it with messageboxes, Showmessage(Report.Reportoptios.Name) after renaming brings me the changed name), but the name which is given to the Print Men?? (Printer/Printername:FreePDF/Name) is still the old value of Report.Reportoptions.Name
  
  I hope you have any other ideas. Thx for your thoughts

  Problem solved:
  
  The name has to be defined in AverpDesigner in Objectinspector/FormShow and not in the FastReport Designer.
  
  I put following code in FormShow and it worked:
  q_rep1.open();
  frxReport1.ReportOptions.Name := 'Name_'+AsString(q_rep1.FieldByName('MASKENKEY'));

  Hello there! I am trying to accomplish this exact same thing and I am having the same frustrating results.
  Will someone please help?
  
  What do you mean by "AverpDesigner" ?
