Tried another tack there. Builder6 is not a problem - IBObjects is the
bit that still needs sorting.

Basically exactly what you are doing on Delphi. Getting things to the
same structure as FR250 and IBObjects - I don't like the 'new' dump of
frBCB6 libraries in one directory. The one thing I have not cracked in
Builder6 yet is how to restore the IBO native stuff. None of the Builder
projects reference it at all. I'll keep plugging, I've got the server
running again, and can add IBO objects to the reports (modified the D7
stuff ;) ), now it's just a matter of linking to the apps - which I
think needs an IBODataset module.

I've some 50 odd reports over 10 applications, with some complex
master/detail stuff done in IBO, but it's looking like I will need to
re-write quite a lot - which is a pain. The frf files are all ported to
fr3 which is a start.

For the FastReport stuff, but a decent set of IBO interfaces may need
some help at this end :)
