Ok, well thats a good bit of feedback :-) I seemed to remember that it output to PDF, but does it also export to Excel too? Most of our data is pretty basic. the most complex it gets is that it requires grouping. I guess I need to workout our most complex report, and see how I go reproducing

Thanks Max. Guess I have a few days of investigation ahead of me. I am now not just thinking of Rave, but also ReportBuilder (upgrading to the latest) and FastReports. I have heard FastReports is meant to be res. good. Jeremy On Mon, Dec 1, 2008 at 10:05 AM, Max Nilson [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:

I've been using Quick Reports and QRDesign for about 10 years (give or take), it's buggy and annoying but I've been able to do really powerful things with it. The QRDesign editor is pretty good, but Quick Reports is a bit scary (although I'm using version 3 - version 5 might be a bit nicer).

HI All. We are looking at moving forward to Delphi 2009 and to do so we need to update out ReportBuilder which means $$. I have not realy looked at Rave Reports because ReportBuilder is pretty good, but wonder if its time to look at it and save some $. Does anyone use Rave Reports in their apps.

I have used both Report Builder (for a large app in Delphi 5) and Rave for D2006/2007. Both very good. Haven't used the Rave report designer - its easy enough to write Rave pure code based reports that do all I need. Doesn''t need anything outside the exe file - links in about another 600K.
