Insert sections into RPT files from external program?

I have a form letter program written in VB6 that uses a single massive Crystal Reports 8.5 report file with multiple page headers and footers and numerous detail sections that are at print time selected based on a report type number that is part of the records passed to the report. Currently when the user wants to add a new letter I have to edit the report file to add a new detail section.

Is there a way I could create a new detail section in my VB program and have my program insert the new section into the report file? The detail sections each consist of a single text field containing all of the letter's body text. Some of them have data fields embedded in them as well.

I know this is probably off the wall, but thanks in advance for any help or suggestions...

Brad
