- Any other

Thanks in advance.

I like ActiveReports. I've found it to be easier to use than Crystal Reports
as Active Reports is a little more intuitive.

It depends.

For simple retrieve-and-display-data-with some-formatting reports, a simple
browser print should suffice. No need to bring in a third-party tool.

For more complex reports (grouping, subtotals, grand totals, subreports,
etc.), Crystal is very robust, although some (not me) would argue for xslt.

If you are using MS/SQL Server 2000, then SQL Reporting Service will satisfy
you most and it comes bundled (FREE) with SQL Installation CD when you
purchase the license. It will also work inside VS.Net 2003 when you install
the SQL Report client.

From 2nd week in April, Sybase's datawindow.net will be available for
general purchase... it beats everything else hands down.

I think Word makes a pretty good reporting engine if you have good tools.

Here's a pretty good tool:

At what point is a Form added to the Forms collection or a Report added to the Report collection? I.e., listed as currently open.

Hello, I've developed in asp 6.0 a bit and am fooling around with asp.net 2.0. In asp 6.0 I displayed report type pages by generating dynamic HTML and wrote to the page using "respone.write".... In asp.net 2.0 I like the idea of the form view control and putting controls/data where I want them to be and data binding everything. This works great until the data relations get a little more complex.
