Not sure what code you need in particular but the following steps work for me.

1.
Select File->New->Other->Report->OK
2.
In the OI Name Property name it QuickReportmine. (Whatever)
3.
Drop a TDateSource (from DataAccess pallet) and a TTable (from BDE pallet) components
onto it. (If you are using a DataModule instead you need to include it in your Uses clause with F12.
4.
With the OI select your TTable with the the DataSet elipses in the DataSource.
5.
Click on the Form. With the OI DataSet Property elipses select your DataSet component.

6.
Click on the "+" in the Bands Property in the OI. Select the bands you need.
(Have at least a "Column Header" and a "Details" band.

7.
From the QReport pallet (D6) select the required QRDBText components to drop into the
Column Header. Set the DataSet and DateField Properties accordingly with the OI.

These will only print once on the top of the form.

You could also drop a TQRLabel near it to identify what the field represents. Especially
above the fields in the Detail Band.

8.
Select individual QRDBText components to drop into the Detail band,
Set the DataSet and DateField Properties accordingly with the OI.

These will repeat when the form prints.

9.
Save it to c:\MyFolder\QRMine.

10.
The event holder code you need to preview the form before printing. Recommended.

procedure TfrmGL.btnPrintClick(Sender: TObject);
begin
  QuickReport[b]mine[/b].Preview;
end;

Or you could go straight to a Printout with ...

procedure TfrmGL.btnPrintClick(Sender: TObject);
begin
  QuickReport[b]mine[/b].Print;
end;
