Combine Designer and Code developed Report, or keep seperate and merge
Hi. Im new here and new to FastReport. BTW, I am an Engineer and not a Programmer, by trade.
I have been updating an existing technical Win32 App, originally developed and maintained in Borland C++ 5, now being updated using Rad Studio Berlin 10.1, which comes shipped with FastReport 5. All reporting aspects have to be re-written, so do most graphs.
I have successfully created a fixed format front page to my report, using the Designer. But my subsequent pages are not fixed format, so I need to create them from Code.
I "think" the best way is to create a new Report for the remaining pages (and merge them) with the 1st Page Report, rather than develop the rest of the pages using the same frxReport1, but all from Code.
If this is advisable, is it also advisable just to drop another TfrxReport component on the same form, or better to start the 2nd report from a new form?
Thanks, Advise appreciated.

Ive gone with separate reports for those built by Designer and those built by Code. I still intend to merge them later.
Thanks
