Cross-platform Identical reports in Microsoft Windows and Linux! FastReport is written in 100% Object Pascal and is delivered completely in source code so you can have the utmost confidence in your programs. FastReport for Borland Delphi 2-7 and C++ Builder 1-6 use VCL - All the power of MS Windows in your hands! FastReport CLX edition - Your reports are identical in Windows (Delphi 6,7, CBuilder 6) and in Linux (Kylix 1-3). Why copy reports twice, when you have FastReport CLX edition? 2. Functionality with a small footprint FastReport is a leader in providing a lot of functionality in a small size. Generate new reports at record high speeds. FastReport adds less overhead to your application than any other report generator with comparable functionality. FastReport does not require additional DLL's. The code builds right into your executable file. 3. Localization Make your reports clear to the whole world! - FastReport supports a large number of languages, and can be switched between them instantly while your application runs: English, Russian, Danish, Chinese, Italian, Polish, Catalon, Portuguese-brazil, Spanish, German, Czech, Slovak, Slovene, Hungary, Ukrainian, French, Dutch, Turkish, Swedish 4. Mechanisms of data access Import legacy databases and reuse common database formats FastReport supports the following database mechanisms: - BDE - DbExpress (only D6 and Kylix) - ADO - IBX - FIB - NativeDB - IBO - DAO - FlashFiler - DBISAM - SQLDirect Supports "live" queries. Easily organize access to any part of your application data. FastReport makes it easy to create databases in other formats as well. 5. Flexibility and independence Let your users change reports using the runtime designer without having to change any of your program code. FastReport uses a unique internal format for reports that gives them independence from your applications. - Report variables are easy to use for creating new EndUser-reports. - End users can easily change a form to add new fields to the report as needed. - You can give users the option to edit the generated report! 6. More than a report generator! FastReport's powerful feature set provides the tools for creating masterful reports: - Built-in dialog designer for setting entry conditions. - Built-in Pascal-like macrolanguage with an extensive set of functions. - Process events on the generated report. One mouse click retrieves the detailed report. - Built-in possibility of search of the text in the generated report! 7. Formats of the reports Save your reports in the formats you want! A variety of export filters lets you save the reports in several formats: - HTML (use FastReport for WEB-applications) - RTF - CSV - TXT - Excel (xls) - etc. 8. And more! - Unlimited number of pages in the report - WYSIWYG-preview with smooth rescaling and scrolling options. - Display multiple pages simultaneously! - Composite reports make combining reports easy! - Generate cross-tab-reports without knowing the number of columns beforehand. Cross-tab reports are automatically beaten to the necessary number of pages on a horizontal orientation. - A large number of components made by third party developers are available. Developed specifically for use with FastReport, these components extend FastReport's functionality even more. 9.
