How to have ADO data components in design ?

Hi,

I create reports from a program made with delphi 2006 and FR 4.
I would like to access database from the data tab but I don't have the ADO components.
Delphi 5 is installed on my PC. I thought I had to install FastReport too, but it doesn't change anything.

How can I have those components ?

Thanks

    in your delphi 5
    do you have ado components?
    in installation of fr4 did you include the frxadocomponents when installing and did you include the tfrxado components on the underlying delphi form ?

    I checked "Full installation" and I didn't have any choice of installing any components. Must I re install FR4 ?
    I dont know if I have ADO components. Whe don't use them in my company.
    The problem is I can't open Delphi to check : an error "can't find both form file and source file" appears.

    And another problem is we want that program's users are able to design reports without having delphi or fastreport installed. Some of them may create queries.

    I hope my explaination are clear
    Excuse my bad english
    And Thank you for your answer.

    I found the answer :
    On our server, where the program is compiled, we simply add the frxIBXComponent from the FR4 tool so the IBXQuery component (and IBXDatabase, IBXTable as well) appears in the data tab of reports.

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.
