At long last a data aware planner that I can use :-)
One that does what is promised and is both powerful and straighforward to use.
Congratulations to all at TMS Software. I have tried and registered two previously ,I guess most us have tried before and been disappointed, but this TMS component has got the requirements EXACTLY right.
It is easy to understand the underlying concept and linking to ones own database is a breeze. I understood the demo within 15 minutes and had started my own project knowing HOW the majority of things worked within an hour - within 2 hours I had a workingsystem :-)
I am looking forward to building everything from personal diaries to resource planning systems. Now I can deliver planning systems that my customers want, when they want it and know they will be reliable !! Congrats again . Well done

TMS's Planner components are excellent. I have one running against an Interbase backend with real-time appointment updating across LAN/WAN. My app manages multiple resources, day and week views, printing, conflicting appointments and a whole host of other stuff. I tried several before plumping for TMS's offering and am delighted with it.
I'd wholeheartedly recommend TMS components, buy the component pack and I promise you you won't regret it. (Keep it quiet but I honestly don't know how they make money at the prices they charge.. get in quick before they realise they're undercharging :-)

I am developing software for 10 years and your components are the best I have ever bought.
Super possibilities. Very good support.
I had to say this, because my customers are enthusiastic about my application.

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.
