maybe someone has experience installing Report Caster on Windows.
During the installation period there is a possibility for user to select the Report Caster Repository (from Focus, Oracle, MS SQL Server 6.0 7.0, MS SQL Server 2000, DB2 and "Other SQL Repository"). Unfortunately, there I can't select "Focus", because it is disabled.
Maybe someone knows where is the problem?
Thanks

Since this issue is related to installations, please open up a case with Technical Support Help Desk to report it. You can either call at 1-800-736-6130, or access our online system InfoResponse at http://techsupport.informationbuilders.com/.
Thanks a lot for your participation in Focal Point. Let me know if you need help with opening a case.
Cheers, Kerry

In short, Report Library stores object (Reports) as a blob. If you are using only Report Caster and not library the FOCUS database option will be available!
