Remarks

This event can be used to initialize any objects or variables that are needed while running a report.

Note:  Printer values are set after this event is raised. The values that will be applied to the Printer object are in the PageSettings object. ReportStart is the event in which you can modify these values in the PageSettings object before they are applied to the Printer object.
