Report tool advice 2

[1164961]

Hi,

Is there any good report building tools that you can advice me?
I am using Delphi 5 and BDE.It will be very good if the source code of the tool is also supplied.

Thanks in advance

I use AceReporter which comes with full source code and handles most of my needs. There is an excellent support forum and lots of examples. I also use an add on product which adds PDF, DOC and Fax print-destinations, but I forget what it is called. If you want, I will check my dev-machine when I get home.
This is a component set for laying out reports in Delphi, not a report-writer which once integrated into your program allows users to define reports. I have heard that there are delphi components that provide for user-defined reports, but I prefer to code, validate and maintain all of the reports coming out of my databases for obvious reasons.
Hope it helps!
Peace,
Colt

Hi,
Due to my programs requirements I need a report builder component which will be both editable for developers and also it will be easy for program users to modify (at least it must be easy to change the interface and SQL - at a certain point -of the report) the reports for their needs.
Currently I am using ReportBuilder.
Thanks for the answers
