Hi Ryan,
KBA was under a product that required a Support Contract, Ludek changed it so it will eventually show up in SCN.
Nothing much in the KBA other than saying it's a limit and we've asked R&D multiple times to change it and it's been rejected each time because it would cause all sorts of Design/Designer problems.
I had a re-look at the header file for crpe32 and there is no way we can change this. It's a Macro we use in all of the Section and area functions and to change it would require a full regression test on all products so it's not going to happen.
I do know though that code I pasted above will allow you to modify and existing subreport. .Modify doesn't not have the limit as the .Add does. So if your team decides to allow more than 40 charts then this would be the way to work around it.
Also, I was talking to the Report Design Resource and a few question and point:
Is the data source the same for all or most and if not can it all be combined into one data source?
If it is then we can possibly use Conditional Suppression to "hide" the ones not required.
Let me know what you decide and I'll do more testing also.
Thanks again
Don
