Generating Invoices - Crystal Reports?

I need to generate invoices in either word or PDF format based on form
values... is crystal reports a viable solution? Somebody told me that the
version which comes with VS.Net Professional 2003 does not include a
deployment licence? If so, where can I find a tutorial?

If crystal reports does not come with a deployment licence, what other
options/free components are available for this sort of thing?

Thanks in advance,

Chris

Hi Chris,

with cr.net you is the solution.
You must register your cr.net and Crystal send an activation key to you.
Read this:

You can translate the report into word and pdf-files.

And here are some important information:

I think our product Virtual Print Engine will exactly fit your
requirements.

It allows to place objects like text, lines and images
programmaticall y in any position within a document. Afterwards you can
preview and print the document or create it as PDF.

For details, and a fully functional trial version, please see
http://www.IdealSoftware.com (mirror: http://www.IdealSoftware.de).

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 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?...
