RB 5.5 with Delphi 6

rbuser

Hello,

I need to be able to use RB 5.5 with Delphi 6. Could you please point me
in the right direction? Due to financial constraints we cannot buy the
latest version. Your help would be appreciated.

RB 5.5 does not support Delphi 6. You'll have to upgrade to RB 7 to get
native D6 (as well as D5 and D7) support. Instead of recompiling RB, we want
you to spend your time building the reports you need and get your app
shipped on time. The fastest and cheapest way to get there is to upgrade to
RB 7.

Why is it cheaper to upgrade? It is true that you may be able to rebuild and
reinstall RB 5 to work in Delphi 6, but the time you spend trying to get
this to work will be much more expensive (unless you work for free) than
upgrading to RB 7. Bear in mind that we cannot provide technical support for
your version of RB 5.5 for Delphi 6. It is also going to be up to you to
maintain your custom version of RB, because at the minimum you will have to
reinstall our packages manually if you get a new machine or have to
reinstall Delphi 6 for some reason, let alone any new bugs you may introduce
by modifying our code to get it to work. Technically, the new-for-D6 Object
Treeview is going to cause you problems which we have already solved and
have included in the latest release.

Cheers,
