  Hi Ramzi,
  You dont need extras components,

  before instalation Fast Report

  I mean Native IBO. Don't works.
  IB_Datasources, IB_Querys... in iboaccess panel
  and not IBOTable and IBOQuery ... in iboTDataset that works fine.

  I've got FR2.53 working with BCBv5 and IBObjects v4.3Aa.
  
  Here's what I did.
  
  Edit fr.inc to include IBO
  Before compiling, I added
  
  USEPACKAGE("IBO40CRT_C5.bpi");
  USEPACKAGE("IBO40FRT_C5.bpi");
  USEPACKAGE("IBO40VRT_C5.bpi");
  
  to fr.cpp, and also included the IBO paths so that FR could see the headers etc.
  
  
  Also, I found that I needed to manually change a .hpp file (specific to BCB) because it was using db::TDataset and db::TDataSource instead of the IBO versions.

  Off hand do you know how we can get Delphi
  running with IBObjects native mode?
  The only reason I purchased Fast Report was
  because it worked with IBObjects native, and
  now they have broken it. But then I never could
  get it to work easily with IBObjects after FR went
  to 2.5x

  Not really, I'm a BCB bod. I would have thought you just need to edit the fr.inc file and may be let FR know the path to the IBO files.
  
  What problem are you having?

  Hi,
  
  Once I modify the fr.inc file it will not compile
  again with the given "includes". It does not like
  the IBO files, because they do not include the
  _D7 (or _D5 in the IBO file names . After that it does
  not compile because of extraneous endif compiler
  commands that are left behind.
  After that it wants the rx files and the qw files
  and it wants the Teechart files for different
  versions: all of this because of uncommenting
  the two lines that specify IBO. It then goes on
  to specify 30+ errors due to TDataset mixed
  defines. (ADO, IBX, Etc.)
  After that I get errors that I get errors on the
  below lines...
  
  TfrDatabase =
  {$IFDEF IBX}class(TIBDatabase){$ENDIF}
  {$IFDEF ADO}class(TADOConnection){$ENDIF}
  {$IFDEF BDE}class(TDatabase){$ENDIF}
  private
  function GetDatabase: String;
  procedure SetDatabase(Value: String);
  function GetDriver: String;
  procedure SetDriver(Value: String);
  
  Notice that IBO is not included in the ifdef
  statements.
