Hi
You can get QuickReports for Delphi2007 (they opened it up as a separate
download). Stability wise its actually pretty nice, you will find most
things (asside from 'maybe' the help) to be a big improvement.

This is a side track but
We did upgrade to D2007 and feel somewhat ripped off. D2007 has a
number of major bugs that we have reported, seen promoted to the
internal database and never seen a fix for. When D2007 was released the
auto updating aspect was heavily pushed (at the

Hi all,

today to a client who told me that he had developers leaving as they saw their

Yeah, good point.
That's probably one of the main reasons for us maintaining our upgrade

And one last comment, a request actually, how many people have used both

Re pain of upgrading:
I upgraded from D5 to D2006 and then D2007 with no issues at all - most
pleasantly surprised. I think I was shrewd to use only a small handful of
simple third party components.

Delphi 2006 - 2007 was incredibly painless, I just told D2007 to
install all the BPLs. D7 - D2006 was very hard and took me a long time
to get all the 3rd party components to play nice.

While crashes might be due to 3rd party components, its diabolical to
figure out which ones and then how do you know is the bug
causing the issue anyway?
