Never mind. The process apparently takes minutes, and provides no progress feedback. Neither did I see, when I checked, any CPU activity with their installer. But eventually I returned to the IDE after 10 minutes of email and whatnot, and it reported it had finished.
Im using delphi XE8 on a project that requires a form to be created from DB data.
My team was formerly using Rave Reports on XE4 version to do this but we decided to upgrade and use Fast reports 5.0.
In Delphi 7 they included QR in the product, but it wasn't installed by
default (you had to load the package manually).In later versions it was left out altogether. But recently they put the
standard version of QR available as a free download for registered
Delphi users. So go to CodeGear and grab it.Otherwise if you have a huge investment of reports written in QR, you
can purchase the professional version.You will find the newer version of QR to be a huge improvement over the
D6 version. Just recompile your app, and you'll see lots of goodies.Loren sZendre

www.cbis.nl RE: Using Crystal Report in Delphi hilfy (IS/IT--Management)29 Mar 04 10:09I second the suggestion to use the VCL component. I worked on an app which came with about 150 reports as part of the standard installation and allowed the users to modify them or create new ones in Crystal that could be run from within the application. It was all table-driven and, based on the "type" of report, it asked for specific parameters before invoking the Crystal runtime engine.
-D RE: Using Crystal Report in Delphi indrahig (Programmer)(OP)30 Mar 04 00:58thanks bascy n hilfy..
but I meant the component is the one that limited, not the crystal report.. I'm not trying it again but I'll try to find the vcl.. thanks anyway RE: Using Crystal Report in Delphi bascy (Programmer)30 Mar 04 04:34You can download the VCL from the Crystal reports site i think. If you can't find it i can mail it to you. Please give me the version of crystal you are using.

All I'm trying to say is I would like to migrate from Quick Report into Crystal Report.
Right now I'm developing new project and I'd like to use Crystal Report as reporting tool.
In previous project I used Quick Report.
RE: Using Crystal Report in Delphi hilfy (IS/IT--Management)2 Apr 04 09:04Indrahig, the VLC component is NOT the .ocx and doesn't have the same features, or lack of features. The VCL gives a Delphi interface to the Crystal Reports Print Engine (crpe) API. With it you can access any existing report, set the database for the report and any subreports, modify the selection criteria, set parameter values, and do just about anything else you need to do to preview, print, or export existing reports. The only thing you don't get with the VCL is the ability to actually design reports (although there are other components you can use for that.)

Yes, we did it a while ago before I sold the business. From the date of the bpls we compiled in June 2020. The clients have probably been using the application for over 6 months. We used crystal reports for all the reporting except for printing the bill, only because the delay with crystal was to long. So the quick reports gets exercised a lot.
QuickReport is a banded report generator written in Delphi. Integrated very closely with Delphi and C Builder, reports are designed in the Delphi IDE, using the IDE form designer as a report designer. Quickreport can use any data component descended from the VCL T Dataset class. The standard version is easy to install and easy to manipulate. It offers a nice interface which makes it more attractive to users.
