In addition to some of the suggestions others have said .. I've created a report factory in our application. It works similar to a class factory. There's a DBF that has the name of a report (the key) and the name of a substitute report to run. Whenever I run a report in the app, I call a method that checks the DBF for the report name. If it finds it, it runs the substitute report named in the DBF instead of the normal report. All you have to do to swap out a report is add a record to this DBF, which is excluded from the project.
