Upgrade to Report Builder 7?

edited April 2003 in General
Hello all,

I was just wondering, what are the advantages of Report builder 7
over Report builder 5? If you know or can point me to a site that
has that information on it, I would really appreciate it.

Thanks,

    I suggest downloading RB 7.02 trial edition from our website
    http://www.digital-metaphors.com and give it a test spin. RB 5.0 is nearly
    3 years old and as you can imagine, in addition to many features and
    enhancements there are also patches and fixes that have been incorporated
    into each of our releases. The RBuilder help file contains a listing of the
    major features along with descriptions of each (which I've pasted below). RB
    7.02 is even more flexible then RB 5.0.

    What's New for 7.02
    TeeChart 6 Support for Delphi 5, 6 and 7
    Background Printing
    Custom Parameters


    What's New for 7.01
    TeeChart 5.03 for Delphi 7
    Print Preview Text Searching


    What's New for 7.0

    Server Edition
    Thread Safe DADE, RAP and Report Engine
    Outline
    DBArchiveReader
    PreviewFormSettings
    DBImage Auto Loading
    Enhanced TeeChart Support


    What's New for 6.0

    DADE Support for dbExpress
    RBuilder.ini Enhancements


    What's New for 5.5

    DataView Linking
    DADE Unit Name changes
    KeepTogether for SubReports, etc.
    ColumnTraversal for Detail Band
    TextAlignment for Memo
    Discontinued properties and methods

    Besides what Jim metioned, you are supporting the continuing development of
    the best report writers avaiable.
