[DUG] Developers not upgrading

[John Bird]

I did such an upgrade D5 to D2007, to get Rave Reports which is superior to
Quick Reports. Had no issues (was not using database stuff and hardly any
3rd party components).  I wouldn't go back!
 
 I noticed that the current D2007 upgrade offers a free version of Quick
Reports.

Hmm..
I've been running Delphi 5 for a long while now, still with some projects
using Paradox 5.0 database and the BDE.
Its come time to migrate them to SQL, Microsofts SQL server, MySQL, and was
looking at Firebird as well, since the coming and going of Interbase and
Codegear hadn't really had the committment of Borland. Right now, I'm
considering the leap to DElphi2007, and the reports of stability,
interfacing , changes to the packaging, haven't got me really excited. Also,
quick reports isn't installed in Delhi2007, so theres another major change
to the code.

If I could get hold of the SQL components update to Delphi 5, I'd certainly
try that first, as the investment in the change has to be outweighed by the
return.

Question.. does anyone know how I can get the update package for Delphi 5?
Its a way of crossing a canyon in two bounds..

With that sort of effort, upgrading becomes daunting for a relatively
inexperienced code writer.

By the way anyone tried the intraweb feature in delphi latest version.

I have used Intraweb in a couple of projects with success.  I probably

wouldn't start a clean sheet project in it, but for using existing Delphi

code it is hard to beat.
