Well, in fact it is mainly ReportBuilder but coupled with some
selfwritten user-interface, which uses Delphis TQueries (or
Infopowers Twwquery) for the report-data. There is actually no big
deal about rewriting it to use TIBOquery instead. Some of the
interface, though, uses paradox to store the reports-names and
parameters etc, so here is a little bit more rewriting to get rid of
BDE. And what's more the point is that this application is just a
little project taking advantage of an already existing reporting-
machinery, not having the time (or economy) to rewrite everything.

No I don't know anything about Firebird, we use the free IB6.

If possible I still want to know if there is anything I can do to
fill in the databasename of the logon dialog for instance just with
the Aliasname or anything I choose myself !?
