[Lazarus] LazReport

[Lee Jenkins]

Hi all, I've never used Freereport, but I have used FastReport 2.4x through 3.x 
quite a bit.

I tried evaluating LazReport a few months ago and had problems with aggregate 
functions cause AV's and stalling the program.  I thought I'd give it another go 
with svn rev.15082 and while I won't rule out the fact that I may be doing 
something wrong, I can't seem to get it to act right for anything but the 
simplest listing reports without aggregate functions whatsoever.

Has anyone used this component for any significant reports?  Again, I've never 
used FreeReport per se, only the commercial FastReport version so I'm assuming 
that I have at least enough knowledge to build a simple report with aggregates, 
but my impression thus far is that the component just seems unusable for me.

Again, I could be just doing something wrong as I'm sure that there were 
significant changes between the FreeReport version and FastReport 2x or 3x.

Reporting is significant to an application (well the back office portion) that 
I'm hoping to write with Lazarus/Freepascal and without a viable solution, I 
stuck with using Delphi or Visual Studio/Mono.

Thanks for any feedback.
