Newbie on Fast Report
Hello.
I now bought Delphi XE7 Embarcadero. Version 21.0.17707.5020 and
included there was Fast Report.
I would like to try it, but have been using Report Builder with my Delphi 2009 Enterprise.
Fiddeling a bit with Fast Report, I tend to replace RB with it, but as in all migration processes
I stumble around in the new tool, experimenting to get a report out of it.
Can you give a quick example on how I build a report in the designer, i e what bands and how
theese are connected for the following task:
I want to make an Invoice that will show the current Supplier in qrySuppliers and this supplier's
payer/customer (Master/Detail with Supplier) in qryPayers and the payer's qryOrderMaster and qryOrderDetail.
(Only one order per Invoice)
I'm in a hurry, but don't want to install Report Builder just to get this done in time, if I can avoid it.
Also, I use XanaNews news reader. Has Fast Report a news server I can use for that?
Thanks in advance.

Have you reviewed the dozen or so demonstration projects installed with FastReport? They'll be in a folder like: These contain the FR3 files as well as the Delphi code.

There are several flavours of Fast Report editions, where the Embarcadero edition following the Delphi XE 7 is the least one.
Your path tells me that you don't have the demos mentioned, because you only have the Embarcadero edition.
I now bought the Fast Report Standard edition and there the demos are present in the path mentioned by support.
(Different from your path)
