• support for BDE and BDE replacements like DBIsam, Apollo, IBX, IBO, ... (details)
• supports ADO Express for accessing any database
• can also be used with any TDataset descendant by accessing given datasets from any datamodule or other Delphi or C++ Builder form (so the report does not need to open a table which is already open in your application a second time) (details)
• supports QuickReport's OnNeedData event for reports not based on TDatasets
• supports query parameters to let the end-user easily specify filter criteria etc. (QRDesign can automatically ask the user for query parameter values before generating a report) (details)
• unlimited number of tables and queries for each report, including master-detail-relationships
• support for lookup fields and calculated fields

• can be included into your application within seconds (details)
• supports various kinds of datasets (BDE, ADO Express, IBX, IBO, DBIsam, Apollo) directly
• supports using all TDataset compatible components by using datamodules or datasets from any given form
• compiles into your EXE file, no external files like DLL or VBX needed (can also be used as standalone application if needed).

• reports can be saved to and loaded from files, streams or tables (blob fields)
• save printer settings with the report files or supply printer settings yourself
• your own custom (or third-party) query builder can be included.
• three different default report editor forms included, e.g. a form which uses "RX Controls" toolbars
• freely modify the default report editor form to fit your needs
• create your own report editor dialog from scratch using QRDesign's powerful non-visual designer component "TQRepDesigner"

• limit the report editor to using only certain databases or tables
• You can prevent single report elements from being deleted, edited or even moved. This way your end-user is not able to completely mess up the report. Or you can give full control to the end-user, so he can create new reports, add tables and queries, create master-detail-relationships, lookup fields etc.
• You can put a bitmap behind a band or report page at design time only. This is useful if a report for a form has to be created, so you can use a scanned image of the form as a design background image
• You can set alias-names for data fields and index names, so your end-user does not have to work with fieldnames like "CustNo1", but can use descriptive names like "Customer number".
• You can hide certain data fields of a report table from the end-user, so he can not see fields which he does not need for report creation.
• QRDesign can automatically ask the end-user for query parameters, e.g. for filtering or for any other things you can do with SQL statements

• use your own custom expression functions
• you can easily include your own or third party report components into QRDesign
• support already included for: WPTools, Zorn Barcode, Schlottke Barcode, MountainTop barcode, QRPP, InfoPower, RX Tools, Teechart Pro, QuickReport Export (former "PsQRFilters"), Toolbar97, Richtext98

• bands can be printed depending on an expression, e.g. only if a data field has a certain value
• bands can be printed on even or odd page numbers only, not on the first or not on the last page
• printing of data fields can be suppressed for repeated values or if their value is 0
• DBImages can be loaded from a BMP-file according to a data field's string content, instead of loading them from a dataset's blob field
• rotated labels and expressions
• expressions can be used in memos and richtexts
• lots of additional functions for QuickReport's expression evaluator

• integrated script language to write event handlers at runtime (details)
• You can use hard-coded calculated fields for difficult calculations which can not be done with QuickReport's expression evaluator or QRDesign's script language
• You can save and load a report's datasets in separate files from the report elements, so you can use one report with different data views etc.
• You can intercept loading of the report datasets, e.g. to change SQL statements, filtering, table paths etc. on the fly
• use Quickreport events like BeforePrint, OnPreview etc. with QRDesign reports too
• event to intercept every single creation of a report component, e.g. to set your own default properties

• automatically create a report layout from a TDBGrid or TwwDBGrid
• checkbox component that is toggled by a Quickreport expression
• grid component to easily draw grid lines on a report
