Frequently Asked Questions
open or create a project using the TReport component
Question:
How can I open or create a project using the TReport ReportSmith
component. Also, can I open an existing project from Delphi 2 in
Delphi 3?
Answer:
Yes. The TReport component is included in Delphi 3, but by
default it is not included on the palette. If you wish to use
the TReport component to create a new project you need to make
it available for use on the palette. To do this choose Component
| Configure Palette and move the TReport component from [Hidden]
to a visible Palette (ie QReport).
NOTE: Delphi 3 does not ship with ReportSmith. You will need to
install ReportSmith from your Delphi 2 CD.
NOTE: report.dcu and rsconsts.dcu are not in the search path by
default. These files are located in "Delphi 3\Lib\Delphi2"
directory and can either be moved to the "Delphi 3\Lib" directory
or the path can be added to Delphi's search directory.
