You can build a dll that you can call to print reports. You'll have to use Delphi to create the report dll though. Get the reports working in a standard Delphi app so it is easy to debug and test. Then port the reports to be used in a dll for a Delphi app. Then try calling the methods on the dll from a VB app to print the reports. I know there are C++ developers using this approach with a dll to print RB reports.
Another alternative (depending on your requirements to get reports to your customers) is to code a web report server using RB + Delphi very easily. We have fully functional demos in our installation. Check out our live demo here: http://www.digital-metaphors.com/server/
