Hi Marc,

The ReportBuilder Server Edition makes coding your own report server a thing
of the past! When testing for the release of our Server Edition we built
many test apps that used different tiers, for example, a DBISAM
client-server database, a report server using an ISAPI dll to publish the
reports to the web, and the client as a web browser. Also, taking the web
tier out of the equation, you can create a report server and use a thin
client windows application using Delphi and our TrsClientReport component,
much like a TppReport in a standard Delphi app. Please take a look at the
different server demos and the developer's guide located in the RBServer
directory of the RBServer installation for more information. You can
download the Server Edition Trial from our website:

We also host a new Server newsgroup where you will find more questions and
answers about what we and others are working on in regards to the Server
Edition.


Cheers,

What works *very* well is RB Server. Creating an n-tier solution with RB-E
would take a lot of time and reproduce the effort found in RBS.

Enjoy.

Hi Marc,

We use RB with dbOvernet, and it works very well.

All you need is a DADE plugin (available on D-M web site) to 'remote' the
data and away it goes.
