- fitting reports in given programs: with a little previous knowledge it is
not difficult making changes in reports
- creating own reports in own programs: The examples given with the
fastreport program make it also for amateurs easy to create own reports, so
that success will come very soon. You can nearly copy them and you will
understand their principals in working soon. That was my experience,
although I am only an amateur in programming.

I've been using the FastReport trial and I must say that this is a great piece of software!
The scripting stuff is perfect and so easy I got it working without even looking at the manual.
Performance is outstanding (the name is well deserved) and the price (all included, scripting and designer distribution) is unbeatable.
I still think that ReporBuilder is wonderful & powerful (I would still go for it for building a report server for example) but Price + Performance + Features (designer, specially scripting, the dbgrid printing...) makes FR a great choice for those who cannot afford to buy ReportBuilder Pro (has the designer stuff) or Enterprise (scripting).

fast-report is the best thing since delphi. Never mind the "voting as best reporter" part, a test drive should convince all.

From my part, I tested RB and FR, a couple years back and I chose FR. Never regret one bit, same as you. It wasn't a priced decision. I found FR to be much faster at the time. Now, i don't really know how well RB as developped since. Neither have I seen a report for my applications I could not do. I was just wondering if you tested FR, that's all...

In the Delphi world ReportBuilder is *very* popular but these components don't work with BCB. I evaluating Fast-Report (http://www.fast-report.com )at the moment and it looks a great tool to me. I used to work with Crystal Reports (wich has also VCL components but I never used these because the application was developed in Visual Fox Pro (Ughh)). CR is also a great report writer but FR is much more intuitive.
