HELP on Reporting advise ???

[serge calderara]

Dear all,

I need to create an application which is able at the end to generate reports
based on SQL server data table.
Actually it is hard to decide if I have to go for a simple Windows
application or a Web application.

Right know I would say that I will go for Win App for the simple fact that I
am use to, but then if the best wa is the web then I will learn ASP.

Any advise that will justify one or the other choice?

How about SQL Server Reporting Service?
It's free and it's web based, so it doesn't require anything installed at
the client side.
It requires a server with SQL Server and IIS to make the reports avaiable,
and it requires Visual Studio.NET to design the reports.
It has all the basic features of a reporting engine, and will get a big
upgrade when SQL 2005 arrives.
