dbexpress and designer
Hi, I'm just starting to evaluate FastReport and have 2 questions
1: I've got my own database class based on clientdatasets with links to dbexpress. I see the table and fields in the designer but if I go to a band an open the Band datasource there is just the line Virtual Dataset. How do I get it in this list?
2: I used with quickreport this incredebally great tool qrdesigner from THSD which gives me as a developer a way to let the user create their own sql and use that. The thing saves all so I as a developer do not need to care about this. I've only got to make a tableclass-interface for when the user says 'new table' and in that class I set up the connections to the database. Is something like this possible with fastreport? That is if someone understands what I'm writing about!
Regards.

However point 2 doesn't yet make sense and I can't find anything on Google so it must be very simple but I just don't see it. What do I want: Give the user the ability to create and add datasources (=sql statements). It's not the problem for me to generate tables at runtime and connect them to my sqlconnection and even create the tfrDBDataset link but is there some mechanisme inside fastreport which saves this defenition or must I recreate these tables myself before opening the report?
