    Hi Alex,

    --------------------------------------
    Article: Distributing Runtime Packages
    --------------------------------------

    Question: "What packages do I need to distribute, since I don't use all of
    the funtionality of ReportBuilder?"


    ReportBuilder 6 and Delphi 6 package names shown below:

    rbRCL66 Report Components
    rbIDE66 Report Designer and supporting dialogs
    rbDB66 Adds TDataset support for pipelines
    rbCIDE66 Crosstab visual interface
    rbCT66 Crosstab engine
    rbRIDE66 RAP visual interface
    rbRAP66 RAP code engine
    rbDBDE66 BDE support for Data Access Development Environment
    rbDAD66 DADE SQL generator
    rbDIDE66 DADE visual interface
    rbBDE66 BDE data access components
    rbUSER66 Sample report components (checkbox)
    rbTDBC66 Data-aware TeeChart wrapper

    There are also packages for the DADE plug-ins, if the application is using
    DADE. The proper package can be located in your installation of RB in the
    ..\RBuilder\Demos\End-User Databases directory.

    Notice that the visual interfaces are broken out into separate packages.
    This is useful if you don't provide the visual designer to the end user.
    The engine behind the interface is all that is needed to be included in the
    runtime packages list. For example, if you have built crosstab reports into
    the application, but the end user will never design a report, then you'll
    only need to include the crosstab engine (rbCT66) while excluding the
    crosstab visual interface (rbCIDE66) package.
