ReportBuilder + Interbase Express failure

rbuser

I've downloaded and installed ReportBuilder Enterprise. When I try to start
delphi, I get this error: "Der Prozedureinsprungpunkt
"@Ibcustomdataset@TIBCustomDataSet@GetFieldData$qqripv" wurde in der DLL
"VCLIB50.bpl" nicht gefunden." (in English that would be something like "The
procedure entry point "@...." wasn't found in DLL "VCLIB50.bpl".").

When I look in the packages list I see "Report Builder Data Access for
Interbase Express" unchecked - when I try to activate it, I get the error
above. I'm using IBX 4.63 with the German resource files. Any suggestions?

Helge.

You'll need to recompile the DADE plugin for IBX. The demo version doesn't
provide the source you need. If you do have a full version then you have
the source to recompile.

Article: Resolving daIBExpress compile problems
------------------------------------------------


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).
