How can you export dynamically formatted report?

[VBPayne]

I am using the CR8.5 (developer ed.) RDC w/VB6. Every report in the application is defined using Active Data Field Definations and a recordset object is passed during execution. Most of the reports have some form of dynamic formatting defined in the sectionX_format event handler(s).

From searching though the CR KB it appears that these events are only fired when the report is routed to the screen or a printer, not when exported. Is there way to export a report AND have these event handlers fire? Some of the report a basically form letters, but the content changes based on the data retrieved. When export the only things that show are the static fields placed on the report.

Thanks for any help.........
