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.
There are some bugs that haven't been resolved (such as a memory leak
when editing large pas files (say more than 20000 lines) but in general
its a good product. Seems like they are understaffed looking at che wee
chua's posting.
If you are looking at porting from the BDE the IBObjects components
(reasonably priced) provide an replacements for TDatabase, TQuery,
TTable etc that are almost 100% compatible with their BDE versions and
allow all TDataSource components to work. You wont get great
performance in some areas (as SQL databases are different beasts to file
DBs) but you will quickly get your apps up and running.
I would highly recommend IBObjects and FB (it also works with IB).
Perhaps I should ask for commission :)

Hmm..
I've been running Delphi 5 for a long while now, still with some
projects using Paradox 5.0 database and the BDE.
Its come time to migrate them to SQL, Microsofts SQL server, MySQL,
and was looking at Firebird as well, since the coming and going of
Interbase and Codegear hadn't really had the committment of Borland.
Right now, I'm considering the leap to DElphi2007, and the reports of
stability, interfacing , changes to the packaging, haven't got me
really excited. Also, quick reports isn't installed in Delhi2007, so
theres another major change to the code.
If I could get hold of the SQL components update to Delphi 5, I'd
certainly try that first, as the investment in the change has to be
outweighed by the return.
Question.. does anyone know how I can get the update package for
Delphi 5? Its a way of crossing a canyon in two bounds..
With that sort of effort, upgrading becomes daunting for a relatively
inexperienced code writer.

So in my case dont think i have scope to upgrade to Delphi 2007:(
By the way anyone tried the intraweb feature in delphi latest version.
Since i am new to this particual functionalty?

I have used Intraweb in a couple of projects with success. I probably
wouldn't start a clean sheet project in it, but for using existing Delphi
code it is hard to beat.
