I'm developing a database application using Delphi 7 and want to
preview reports produced using Nevrona RAVE 5.0 non-modally.

The delphi form I'm using to select and preview the report is a direct
lift of Nevrona's demo example with a TListBox to select the report
and a button which calls RvProject.Execute to bring up Nevrona's
output options dialog and then Nevrona's Preview dialog. This all
works fine and reports appear when requested.

I want to preview reports NON-MODALLY so that the rest of the
application, or more than one report is available to the user. Setting
the RvSystem component's SystemOptions property to soPreviewModal =
FALSE should achieve this but the reports still display MODALLY.

QUESTIONS:

1) Is there more to do than just set soPreviewModal = FALSE to get
this to work?

2) If I use the OverridePreview event is there a way of hooking upto
Nevrona's Preview dialog to do something like
"NevronasPreviewDialog.Show" or will I have to write a Preview Dialog
too.

Any pointers appreciated
