The problem here is LazReport (in form1) can't get an instance to Datamodule1.Dbf1 at Lazarus design time. At design time, the object inspector knows how to get an instance to a component residing in a external form/datamodule but LazReport designer at Lazarus design time doesn't know. This is basically to Mattias, is it possible to register at design time data modules so they appear in FindGlobalComponentList? any other solution?
