NO SUPPORT FROM FAST REPORTS INC.

edited March 2014 in FastReport 4.0
5. march 2014 - Support has arrived ... Finally !

The Ticket I created pr. 28. November 2013 was ..

<!--fonto:Arial Narrow--><span style="font-family:Arial Narrow"><!--/fonto-->Using
Enterprise 4.15 latest version (29 october 2013)
delphi xe5 - enterprise

Reproduce :
Create a new report with a FireDAC connection
Set connection to a FIREBIRD database.
Drop a FireDAC Query on the report - set it up with simple sql statement like "select * from <Table> where ID < :ID"
Setup parmeter reference to a report variable - ie. <ID>.

Sometimes I get a "language not found" - other times i get another error ... something with reference to <get> ...
<!--fontc--></span><!--/fontc-->


And to this - Fast-Reports has finally answered this :
<!--fonto:Arial Narrow--><span style="font-family:Arial Narrow"><!--/fonto-->It's not an error.
Find TfrxFDComponents on the form and turn "DesignTemeExpr" property to false.
<!--fontc--></span><!--/fontc-->


The suggestion works - as long as you don't use the designer .... to grab fields from the database.
But we found - that changing line 501 in frxFDComponents.pas to
else if not lDesignTime then
Then it actually works as we would like it to.

Hope this can help others too - without having to wait .... forever.

<strike>Is Fast-Reports still Active ????

I'm having doubts.

We (our company) have since November 2013 tried to get support for our ENTERPRISE Product.
We have mailed several times and posted several tickets in our "support area" ....

NOTHING ... NADA ... NO ANSWER !!!!

We are moving our development (Embarcadero/Delphi - win 32/64) to the new FIREDAC (formerly AnyDac) platform.
And Fast Reports should support this -
Changelog for latest VCL version -> + Added Internal components for FireDac database engine
</strike>
Why does a company totally ignore its customers like this ????

If anyone has any comments / information .... then please post here.

Regards
Bjarne

Rich Text Editor. To edit a paragraph's style, hit tab to get to the paragraph menu. From there you will be able to pick one style. Nothing defaults to paragraph. An inline formatting menu will show up when you select text. Hit tab to get into that menu. Some elements, such as rich link embeds, images, loading indicators, and error messages may get inserted into the editor. You may navigate to these using the arrow keys inside of the editor and delete them with the delete or backspace key.
