You need download and install our RB plugin
  Valentina for REALbasic.

This plugin with few DLLs in vcomponents folder, allows you to embed into
your RB app  on your choice:

 a) Valentina DB engine
 b) Valentina Reports engine



It contains few examples about how to use .vsp file and reports from RB code
