Don't appologize for something what is not your fault.

After all I read I decided to buy FastReport because it works with the
TIB_strain.
But already with the second report I've got my first problem.
It seems that FastReport can't handle NUMERIC(18,n) fields.
I get the error 'Invalid variant operation' if there is a int64 field in the
report.
That's Live :-?

I don't know how many of us use fastreport with SQL dialect 3 and 64bit
integers.
But I think it's worth to know.

I've sent a mail to the fastreport list, but it's weekend now and I haven't
got an answer yet.

Regards,

Jörg Schiemann
