Has there been any decision made about supporting Delphi 5? I'm currently working on a 250,000 line D5 app and while we would like to move to D7, it probably won't happen soon.
You might consider implementing the server in D6 or D7, since it is going to be a separate application anyway. You can use RB 7 Enterprise for D5 to create the reports and then run them under RB 7 Server for D6 or D7.
Based upon the perceived demand for a D5 version versus the required effort, a D5 version does not appear likely at this time.
So the D5 client would create the reports and store them in the database, and the D7 server would make the reports available to the web. That should work fine for us.

Understandable.
