I was just wondering, what are the advantages of Report builder 7 over Report builder 5? If you know or can point me to a site that has that information on it, I would really appreciate it.
I suggest downloading RB 7.02 trial edition from our website http://www.digital-metaphors.com and give it a test spin. RB 5.0 is nearly 3 years old and as you can imagine, in addition to many features and enhancements there are also patches and fixes that have been incorporated into each of our releases. The RBuilder help file contains a listing of the major features along with descriptions of each (which I've pasted below). RB 7.02 is even more flexible then RB 5.0.
