At the moment, I am testing connectivity with IBX. That works
fine....however, I need the connection to create Reports. I can't seem to
get the RaveReport component to show any of the connections that came up
easily with BDE TDatabase...

How do I fix that so that I can access my TIBDatabase and print something or
design my reports ? I need to redesign reports for this software
application, as the previous component used for reporting was TQuickRep -
but that is not free, and the software is a few years old when the
developers probably bought TQuickRep.

Cheers,
Gaurav
