Interesting. Does this work out of the box, having both FR and HTMLComponets? Is this a preview or already shipped?

While this is impressive, I am not sure, what the video is about. Fastreport FMX 2? HTMLComponents integrating in Fastreport?

Sure:

I just found this one:

Which is quite similar to EkRTF. But I have no experiences with it.

In FastReport you can export into other formats like excel, word etc. also.

Of course. But this is one more step + usually there are layout problems when doing so. At least when the report structure is complex.

We used it, because we had the need, that our users were able to edit the report after generation.

The idea of having kind of a framework for generating forms (and yes, there are so many so similar forms) is quite interesting. I remember a long ago Java project where we used STRUTS. Building forms was a matter of designing froms and wiring POJOs, validation and workflow. I liked it.

Usually there are trial-versions, free-versions and additionally 30-day-money-back. So for me there is no problem to evaluate and decide. We can´t expect vendors to deliver superior products, in-time support and usable documentation without being paid for.

Ah, and we want them to survive for as long as possible! So respect a good product.
