Fastreport 1.5 to 2.3

Hi we have an application that was written using Delphi 5 that used a free version of the FastReport1.5.

We have since moved into Delphi7 and our customer has requested an update to the program. We tried to install FastReport 1.5 in Delphi 7 but with no luck.

We noticed that FastReport 2.33 could be downloaded and would install in Delphi 7. We figured this was the solution to our problem. HOWEVER:

When we try to load our project in Delphi7 the item: OnBeforePrint method is not found in the new version of FastReport 2.33. The result is this causes the rest of the report definition to get lost and not read in when the form is read.

We have a deadline to get this updated program to this customer today. Is there a way I can get a version of FastReport that will support the methods and features of FastReport1.5 which will load into Delphi7 and work?

We are more than willing to purchase FastReport for this purpose. Please let me know ASAP!

Thanks

    IIRC there was a note in the faq.txt file of 2.33 about how to convert from freereport to 2.33. that may help you, but don't expect a quick today solution.
    as 2.33 was/is very limited.

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.
