What is the equivalent of TppReportExplorer?
I am looking to replicate a basic ReportBuilder end user tool using FastReports. With little work, it's possible in ReportBuilder to create a tool that allows users to maintain reports stored in the database and organize them in a hierarchical folder fashion.
What components are available in the FastReport library to make this possible?

The reason I asked is because I am looking at FastReports, which looks like a fine product, as a replacement for ReportBuilder. I provide my end users with a reporting tool. I need to know how much effort would involved in replacing the current system, which can be slapped together fairly quickly with RBuilder components.
So I have to spin my own window? Hmm, I am hoping someone will reply with a link to some prefab solutions. :-)
We use ReportBuilder too but we have some trouble with this tool. I believe it is because we are using dbExpress and I read in the newsgroup that RBuilder was not tested with this technology and MSSQLServer 2000, the database system which we use.
We started a new project and we are evaluating Fast Report. I believe that Fast Report has some features better than RBuilder, like better script engine (where we can debug our scripts), for instance.
I could share my report explorer with you, but we use 3rd party components to design the window and our components to access the database. So, the form will not work for you.
My application save the hierarchy in an Database table with the Reportfilename and optional Name and Description.
For the visual frontend, i use the virtualtreeview component.
