Delphi – find a “Turbo” or “Lite” version of Delphi

There's some info in this podcast. What we know now: Yes, there will probably be one. But it probably won't be as feature-rich as the last Turbo was.

You mean you have a paid version, not the free "explorer" versions? There are lots of reporting options.

Report Manager is an open source solution you can use: http://reportman.sourceforge.net/

There are lots of other reporting solutions for Delphi, most of them commercial (e.g., FastReport, ReportBuilder, Rave Reports, Quick Reports, etc.).

Rave reports may have a free version available for your TurboDelphi. For example, for TurboDelphi2006 you can look here: http://cc.embarcadero.com/item/25610

Here's a list of various reporting tools from the Torry's site. Take note that many of them are old and/or not that great. It's probably best to stick with the better-known components: http://www.torry.ru/pages.php?id=189

If you do have only the free TurboDelphi "Explorer" then your options are more limited. Since you can't interface to components at design-time, only through code, I think the visual report designers in most of the commercial versions will be unavailable to you. That makes them a lot harder to use. The good news: I think the open source ReportManager has a stand-alone visual report designer that lets you design and save report definitions. That would be the way to go. It may still be a little cumbersome to use, since you'll have to instantiate all report components at runtime.
