We have two choices when we create a preview - compose for the screen, or

Were you able to run the RBASTA end user demo that is available from ASTA?
It is the full end user demo setup and ready to go using ASTA, including a
DADE plugin. We've tested it with ASTA 2.6 and RB 6.03 in Delphi 6 and it
works.Can you run the end user solution on your tables without using ASTA? This
would be the first step to make sure that the table definitions are correct.
Are you using the demo version of ASTA? I experienced similiar issues with

FolderOptions and ItemOptions properties. In addition, you can implement

It sounds like the paradox tables are corrupt. RB 6.03 would have resolved
