I dont (yet) use Fast Report, but I do use RB and know what you are
talking about. As soon as I get time I will be looking for an
alternative.

To quote from an archived email...

-----------------------------
FastReport is at

http://www.fr.hotmail.ru

The 2.4 version can be built to provide IBO support in addition
to an IBX version amongst others.

The free version 2.21 is BDE native only.

-----------------------------


So it seems you need to register to try it with IBO native.

All I can say is that I have only heard good things about FastReport
on this list, but then I dont know just how many people use it. I
know a lot of people use RB, myself included, but we live with the
shortcomings (of the product and the support) in order to get the
features.
