Hi.

I am wondering what folks here use as a report writer, other than SSRS and Perpetuum, both of which I have ruled out

The criteria is Ease of use for the end user,  and to be able to embed reports reasonably easily into an app.

I would welcome any suggestions

My vote . . . Developer Express

For what it is worth, I just learned how to take any control on a Windows Form and place it on a DevEx Report. For example, I have some nice ListViews that I am displaying to the user. Without any extra data retrieval, I am able to copy the ListViews right onto a report. It is pretty slick.



We haven't gotten into the end-user designing at run-time, but they have a nice tool to do just that, too.



Happy hunting,

Bill
