I have only used ReportMan and tiRTFReport - I can't comment on the others. ReportMan is definately not like ReportBuilder, but it is easy to use. The Report Designer is not that "pretty", but the reporting is just fine. Some features of ReportBuilder like RAP and Data Pipelines are possible in tiRTFReport without issues. So is building a report at runtime, but I wouldn't go as far as comparing them directly. After all, ReportBuilder has been around for many years and is a commercial product. But please do send an email to Digital Metaphors and ask for FPC and Lazarus support. They told me they are watching FPC and Lazarus progress and will port ReportBuilder if there is enough demand. > You said the reporting engine is a single unit... the reports are > implement by code, not designer?

It's rather easy to generate a RTF document from FPC, so it will be just as easy to build a report at runtime. If I need to build a custom report, I create a template listing report, then at runtime I can populate the column titles and data relating to the listing report. Doing a visual report design in OpenOffice just goes so much quicker. > Ok... so, maybe it works fine and stable!. The remote persistence layer is definitely stable for Delphi development work, and it has been unit tested. Developing it with Free Pascal is untested by me, but I guess I'll find out soon. :) > The fpGUI is compatible with Lazarus? I can install it in him? fpGUI is not compatible with LCL or VCL, but in many cases it is very similar in style, so it is easy and quick to learn. You can use any IDE to develop fpGUI based applications (we mostly use Lazarus IDE, but sometimes MSEide as well), and it is also very easy to integrate the fpGUI Forms Designer via a External Tools keyboard shortcut. -- Regards, - Graeme - _______________________________________________ fpGUI - a cross-platform Free Pascal GUI toolkit http://opensoft.homeip.net/fpgui/ _______________________________________________ fpc-pascal maillist - fpc-pascal@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-pascal
