does fastreports work with borland c++, DBISAM 4 |

Joel Schaubert | I've been upgrading various components in a older app.
Now comes the time to upgrade from quickreports to a newer reporting tool I've heard good things on the dbisam threads regarding fastreports. But when I download the FastReports 4.7 trial I only see db components for BDE, ADO, IBX, and DBX I found threads for some components by S Forbes, but they look to be for delphi and not usable for borland c++. Am I missing something simple? Have people gotten fastreports working for borland c++ 2009 with DBISAM 4 ? thanks, Joel Schaubert |

"Malcolm" | Hi Joel
It should work fine without specific database components. I have used FR with both D6 and D2009 using DBISAM and ElevateDB (Unicode) without using Steve's DBISAM components or the like. All I have to do is drop a TfrxDataset on my report form and set its DataSet property to a general purpose Query. FR then gets its data from the query result. This method means you don't get some conveniences of linking direct to the database components - but it works just fine and I am sure it will be the same in C++ HTH Malcolm |

Joel Schaubert | thanks Malcolm
That did the trick and let me make a report. If I use this method without full integration does that mean features like having users make their own reports would not really work out? Joel |

I do not offer my users that option so I have never experimented or read up on it. There may be some other user here who can answer, but I suggest you ask on the FR4 newsgroup. It is a peer support group but good questions will get helpful replies. Malcolm -- |

Fernando Dias Team Elevate | Joel,
<<If I use this method without full integration does that mean features like having users make their own reports would not really work out? >> No. Users can still design reports, but they can only "see" and use the datasets that you have connected to the report with TfrxDBDataset components. I use it that way in some of my applications, and it's working very well. -- Fernando Dias [Team Elevate] |
