Delphi/IBO is a pleasure to work with once you get the hang of it -
definitely a good advice from Fabrice!

IBO has two strands of components. The TDataset components will work
similar to the BDE (excepting that they are a lot faster and actually work
as intended), whilst the native components give you a lot more control over
what you are doing. Native components are recommended, but reduces your
choice amongst reporting tools. I think FastReport and ReportBuilder can be
used with native IBO components (but am not certain and don't use them
myself) and many more are available with the TDataset compatible components.

And then you've got ibobjects@yahoogroups.com where all your IBO questions
are answered pretty quickly. Many of us are on this list too, but for
reporting tools specifically working with IBO I suggest you redirect your
question to that list.
