Does Reportbuilder support Intraweb or, should I say, does Intraweb support
ReportBuilder?

TIA

    Article: ReportBuilder and IntraWeb
    --------------------------------------------

    There are two basic approaches to using ReportBuilder to implement web
    applications.

    1. ReportBuilder Server Edition

    ReportBuilder Server Edition contains the most comprehensive, productive,
    high performance solution available. The Server Edition enables you to build
    a multi-tier web solution within a few hours of installating the product.
    Spend an afternoon with the trial version to evaluate it. The Server has the
    ability to incrementally generate pages on demand and the WebTier performs
    session management, caching, and generates a high quality xhtml/javascript
    report previewer.

    The demos included with RB Server Edition contain examples of using the RB
    Server's WebTier component within Delphi Web Broker apps: ISAPI, ASP .Net,
    Apache.

    For integration with an IntraWeb app, there are two options you can
    research:

    a. Use the RB WebTier and Delphi's Web Broker to build an ISAPI application.
    Then call the reports by passing an appropriate URL to the Web Server. This
    option is definitely doable.

    b. Use the RB WebTier within the IntraWeb app itself. We have not tried this
    option. The WebTier requires that the web request sent to the Web
    application be passed thru to it. I think once you spend time with RB Server
    Trial Edition and tutorials in the Server Developers Guide you can determine
    whether this is feasable.


    2. Build your own

    The other approach to implementing publishing reports to the web is to use
    any of the ReportBuilder Editions to impelement your own web solution.
