Does anyone have any suggestions on alternative reporting programs besides
Crystal Reports.
Which ones are the best?

Thanks,

You could look into SQL Server Reporting server.

You can add graphs and do a lot of stuff. SQL Reporting Server 2005 is
really nice.

Hello,

SQL Server Reporting services is on choice.

Office Web Componentes, charting on the server side, it's quite good as
well (for ASP .net development), here you have a sample:

I have a transaction log file where the DataSet table's Description column is actually delimited into "subcolumns" based upon the transaction id. I would like to parse these into separate fields for reporting purposes and am wondering if anyone knows if this is easily accomplished using the .NET version of Crystal Reports? For example, the description column may be reporting on a dataentry error as follows: TXNCODE: 1010001

I exported a column of type float to SQL Server using DTS. In Crystal reports, it 'sees' the column as a string! Is 'float' the best type to use? Must I create a formula field in CR to 'correct' for this?

Hi, After battling with Crystal Reports for a while I have started to look for alternatives.

I know this may not be the best NG for this, but I feel you guys know more about this than any of the other NGs. I need to build several simple reports (over 50 of them and they get their data from sql server) and I was wondering whish of these is the better tool .. We're still not sure if they'll be loaded from an existing VB6 application or if I'll have to make a separate module for them (in .Net). In general, which is the better tool?...

On reflection, you could possibly make the app a self extracting zip file which extracts the EXE and a settings file and then starts the app, then when you app closes, it can repack the settings file and itself into the exe. You would probably want a tool for this bit which could be in the zip too. So the app isnt single exe when running but when not running, it is. Just an idea for you to think about. Another option would possibly be to...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
