FastReports Demo and TIB_ components?

I've downloaded the demo and went to create a report that used a TIB_Query as a datasource, but the Fastreport component doesn't seem to recognise it.

Do I have to enable something to get FastReports to use TIB_ components??

I'm keen to try it out, but would actually like to try it with the REAL components and data that I'd buy it for.

Thanks

    Hi Monty!

    Just uncomment the following line in the FR.INC file (located in the \source\directory):

    //{$DEFINE IBO}, after this You must recompile the FR package.

    This will enable FR to use the native IBO data access dialog controls.

    Thanks for the reply Alex.

    I did the following:
    -Copied fr_class.dcu from the D5 directory into the source directory
    -uncommented the lines {$DEFINE IBO} and {$DEFINE IBO4}

    When I recompile I get the following error:
    [Fatal Error] fr_dbset.pas(84): Unit FR_Class was compiled with a different version of FR_DBSet.TfrDBDataSet

    I'm using Delphi 5 Pro with update pack 1, using FastReport 2.51 DEMO.

    I CAN recompile the fr5.dpk file if I keep the above two defines commented out, so I'm guessing that the fr_class.dcu file hasn't had IBO ability compiled into it.

    Any suggestions?

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.
