Using ReportBuilder 5.55 with IBX 5.02

rbuser

Hi!

I was using Delphi 5.01 with IBX 4.2 and all packages from ReportBuilder
worked well . But when I installed IBX 5.02, the package rbIBE55 is not
loaded anymore in the IDE.

I think there's some incompatibility between IBX 5.02 and ReportBuilder 5.55
(in special, rbIBE55 package).

Some suggestions, tips ?

Thanks

If you are using the latest version of IB Express, then that is the problem.
For compatibility reasons, ReportBuilder's LIB units are compiled using the
plain Delphi 5.0 units with no patches applied.

To solve this issue, do the following:

1. Recompile daIBExpress.pas located in ..\RBuilder\Source. The easiest way
to do this is to add the unit to your Delphi project. You could also copy
the .pas file from ..\RBuilder\Source to ..\RBuilder\Lib.

2. If you want to use the DADE Plug-in for IB Express at Delphi design-time,
then you need to recompile the rbIBE55 package. The .dpk is located in
.\RBuilder\Source. Once you recompile the package, you need to copy the .bpl
to Windows\System (or System32 for NT).
