Some Questions

Hi...
I have noticed some problems using FR3.2 and i have some questions (fr3.2, cbuilder 6)
1. Problem 1 (minor)
When i do not set a correct file name for ini file (frxreport obj) and i am on design mode, after closing the report i get an error like ' i cannot write to file ....'. If the page i last used (in fr3 design mode) is a dialog form, the form remains on-top and i have to close the cbuilder and reopen the project to make it hide
2. Problem 2 (major)
I use ADS as RDBMS. I had to make a component for ADS and i added it to the frx components, but i cannot find the project adsconnections available to the database tab on frxadsquery database tab. This also happens for ADO components (i have used the code from these components for ADS comp i made). Any suggestions?
3. Problem 3 (major)
I saved some reports from fr2.52 to fr3 format. After i tried them with fr3.2 i found the sql strings i used in sql coms were not present!!!
4. Problem 4 (minor)
The converted reports come with sizes and coordinates of the objects changed to mess
5. Question
As ADS is a very popular RDBMS for delphi-cbuilder is it possible for you to make the right comps?
6. Question
With fr2.xx we had some powerpack options to use (like extended fuctions e.g. FIRSTDAYOFPREVMONTH). Can we have them back to FR3?
7. Installation problem
If there is installed an older version of fastscript, the installation fails...
Notice
It was a great idea to make possible simultaneous use of fr2.xx and fr3.xx
Thanks....

3. You should use 2.53 to correctly convert FRF files to FR3.
4. Turn on the "Free bands placement" in the View|Options in FR3 designer.
5. We canoficially support only DB engines shipped with Delphi. All other DB engines will be included into powerpack.
I am very interested in your point 7. I am having major 3.02 install problems.
How did you resolve the problem? Which files/settings/etc did you delete/change?
TIA
First goto and remove fs, then install fr3. It should be ok...
Thanks...
I will try the solutions...
