Off-topic, Fast-Reports HTML question

I've been trying to get an answer to a Fast-Reports question for at least a
month now, using the fast-reports.public.fastreport.3 newsgroup, the
Fast-Reports forum on their web-site, Fast-Reports tech support, and
borland.public.thirdpartytools.general with no luck., thus I am stooping to
bothering this esteemed group with an off-topic question. Sorry bout
that.
It seems a realatively simple question on the surface. I need to know
how to set where HTML reports gets generated in Fast-Reports.
I am trying to schedule reports, and to do that I am creating a Delphi
console app to print reports, which can be called from the scheduler.
I have pdf reports working, but the html reports always end up in
the directory where the executable is run from. I have tried the following:
htmlExporter.DefaultPath = blank
htmlExporter.Filename = full path and file name
htmlExporter.DefaultPath = full path
htmlExporter.Filename = file name
htmlExporter.DefaultPath = full path
htmlExporter.Filename = full path and file name
Example full path = d:\projects\test\
Example file name = report.html
Example full path and file name = d:\projects\test\report.html
Obviously, the DefaultPath parameter of htmlExporter
dosen't change the path where the files are generated.
Obviously, the Filename parameter of htmlExporter
only specifies the filename, not where the file is
generated.
This leads me to conclude that one of three things is true:
1. DefaultPath is broken
2. DefaultPath is the wrong parameer to be setting
3. There is no way to set where the html files are generated.
Anyone have any idea which of these 3 things are true, and if its
2, what is the correct parameter to set?
Yours in desperation,
