It's now very easy to build a report with the new Flexcel + Aurelius integration. It was so easy that I really thought I was doing something wrong. I will never go back to a report generator, Flexcel is way cooler and easier for reports

TMS Aurelius is really some awesome piece of technology that has been missing from Delphi for years. REALLY good framework that is well thought-through. Believe me, I have had my look at a fair number of ORMs.

Another vote for Flexcel here, since the rewritten and updated Flexcel came out a year or two ago, I only use that. Mostly I use it to read XLS and XLSX files, which it does much faster and more flexibly than Excel automation, in my experience. If you also need to write XLS and XLSX files (which I do occasionally) Flexcel has the most amazing utility named 'ApiMate'. You can design your output report in Excel, including only a minimum of actual data, but with all the detailed formatting, headings, and column, row and cell properties you need. Then point ApiMate at the Excel file, and it generates a Delphi program to write the entire XLS file using the Flexcel API, with all the attributes matching those you created in Excel itself. It is then the work of a few moments to adapt the ApiMate-created functions to handle your real data. Magic! Flexcel support is prompt and helpful, too.

I must say, you people at TMS are VERY FAST with your support, even on Sundays and that to someone who has not yet registered. I wish some other components authers will copy your style. You have my compliments!!!

Dear Sir/Madam.
I'm afraid I'm going to have to uninstall and return the TMS Component Pack we recently purchased. It's just too darn good.
What are my clients going to say when I can now implement a whole screed of additional functionality so quickly and easily? How are they going to react when, all of a sudden, their applications look 10 times better?
And there are so many components! It's going to take weeks, if not months, to play with them all.
It's criminal, I tell you. You shouldn't be able to sell a component package this good.
I guess I'll hang onto it a little while longer, and try to figure out how to explain it to our clients.
Keep up the good work ;-)
