Hi,

 

We use FR extensively, it's truly GREAT, support from the author (Alexander Tzyganenko) has been pretty timely & useful too.

Some features worth highlighting are:

 

1). User Functions and User Datasets: give you huge flexibility in presenting loosely structured information.

2). Graphics: we need to generate broad rage of drawings on the fly, FR gives us very fine results.

3). Cross tab reports: easily achieved.

4). Rich text capability: much better than QR

 

Steve, we need to export to Pdf files too, would you mind sharing some info on how this is achived?

 

Regards

Cheng

I use FR now - it's great - even has pascal scripting.

 

Haven't used RB, but have used QR and Rave and I still prefer FR.

 

I also recently put together an export component that allows me to export pdf files. Great for Purchase Orders, Invoices or archiving reports for later viewing and reprinting.

 

regards,

Steve

Hi all.

I have a small project I am working on ATM for myself ( a moonlighting job) that I wanted to use ReportBuilder for, but its a bit dear for this project...i.e. I am funding it myself etc.

I was looking at FastReports. Saw it on a link on some website, and it says it has the functionality of ReportBuilder etc,

Has anyone or IS anyone using FastReports? How do they compare to Report Builder?

I would just use QR as I own that, but I need the ability to export to different formats like HTML, and QR just cant handle that at all well !

 

 

Cheers,

 

Jeremy Coulter
