You have our simpathies.

The trial version will not allow native access, but the
TIBO* stuff works fine.

I have had no problems with using it, once you get used to
the different way of working. There is an Interbase database
and Builder5/IBO version of the reports sample from
FastReport in the eGroups FastReport files area. You can
easily change the sample provided in the trial pack to use
this database vai TIBO* components. ( Perhaps it is about
time I built a version that works with the FastReport Trial
version? )

It's worth the money and we will be improving the extra IBO
native interface as people provide input to it. This allows
IB_Connection and IB_Query to be added directly to the
report page rather than providing the connection in the
calling application. Again it will not work with the trial
version as it expect the native components in the basic
FastReport.
