Reporting options question

I have an app( vb .net 2.0) that I am about to get into the reporting
portion, the app has an access 2007 db, and have logo file stored in a
directory on the computer (to save space in the database). I want to be able
to show the logos at the top of the report. Depending on the options selected
I want to be able to color code the report (text, boxes and lines…).

IT seems that I have to reports to choose from, Crystal, vb built in
reporting, last was to make my own.

I need to be able to customize the report for color code print logos on the
report.

What do you all think on the options of doing:

Crystal report – doesn’t seem like I can dynamically change a picture
objection the report and I keep running into logon error.

Vb built in report – it doesn’t seem as easy to customize an in vb6, I can’t
seem to write any code and use my on connection string with data sets.

Building my own report – I am just wandering if it is work building your own
reports, making a form to show the data, then having to print or print
preview it.

I am kind of at a decision point and wanted to see what some of you thought
or have experience with some of the options?

Hi, I am wondering what is my best option for reporting for one of the products we are developing. The product is built using VS.NET 2003 with data stored in SQL 2000. We bought Dundas charts but looks like we can use it only for reports with charts (unless I am mistaken). If I want to build standard (text) reports with drill down capabilities (just like how Crystal does), do I have to use Crystal, or Dundas can handle text reports as...

Posted to the Optik list, but it seems defunct. Optik is now Python's optparse. I wonder how do you implement optional arguments to Optik. I.e., you can have an option -P -- the filename is optional, with a default "data,pikl". It works as follows:

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.
