Begin
    MB := MetabaseClass.Active;
    // Create a dashboard
    CrInfo := MB.CreateCreateInfo;
    CrInfo.ClassID := MetabaseObjectClass.KE_ADHOC_REPORT;
    CrInfo.Id := "NEW_ADHOC";
    CrInfo.Name := "New dashboard";
    CrInfo.Parent := MB.Root;
    AdhocReport := MB.CreateObject(CrInfo).Edit As IAdhocReport;
    // Load report to dashboard
    AdhocReport.LoadFromFile("C:\Report.ppdash");
    (AdhocReport As IMetabaseObject).Save;
End Sub UserProc;
