Report builder 6.03 and Latest IBO (ib Objects) does not work

rbuser

When I try the IBO demo included with report builder I get the following
error:

[Fatal Error] myEURpt.pas(99): File not found: 'IBDataset.dcu'

IBDataset.dcu does not exist anywhere on my system.

The IBX demo does not work either with ibx 6.03 for D6
Here is the error I get with IBX:

Could not convert variant of type(null) into type (integer)


Thanks,

Thanks for pointing this out. I am sorry you are having such difficulty
with our demos.

I installed IBO 4.2 into Delphi 6. Copied the latest daIBO.pas (IBO plugin)
from the IBOPipeline download which is available from IBO's website, to my
installed IBO demo project. You are right, you have to remove IB_Dataset
from the uses clause in order for it to compile and run. Once I did this it
ran perfectly in the end user environment.

The IBX 6.03 problem has been reproduced here and the current workaround is
described in the response to your next thread.

We tested our demos before we released ReportBuilder 6.03. When another 3rd
party changes their source base after we release our source, it can cause
problems like this. This is true of all the 3rd party components that you
can use with ReportBuilder. The good news is that it usually results in
very a minor source change in our code and it will begin working. If you
still have problems getting IBO or IBX working with ReportBuilder 6.03,
please let us know how we can help further.
