Have you embedded a Report Writer into your application to that users can create their own reports? I am evaluating your recommendation for Report-Shooter now and look forward to your sample. If you have any Report-Shooter samples that would help.

Yes. In fact, in our medical software we created an entire report template interface and we develop our reports through the VERY same engine that we make available to our end users. Obviously there are certain features that they cannot access since we may want to restrict certain things, but the engine and editor is literally the same one for the end-user as it is for us. This makes is VERY easy to copy over a report and make a few simple changes out in the field.
They can then click the Design template to modify the template.
We are planning on including a more robust sample in the next update. But I have attached a very simple sample that I created for someone else that will at least give you a clue as to how to setup a data source and tie it into a report. The one we will release will include more details as it relates to paret-child relationships, etc.
