Affordable Report Generators

I'm looking for something .NET-ish to use in a few applications to generate
reports. Crystal is wonderful but way out of my budget. Can anyone suggest
some lower cost alternatives?

I've never used it myself. But it's the name that keeps getting
mentioned when talking to people who aren't satisfied with Crystal
Reports for one reason or another. I know a lot of other people like
it, so I guess it's a fairly good product.

If you are doing Windows apps, there is one version of CR that is bundled
with VS.Net that is free to use!

Hi,

Take a look at SQL Server Reporting Services.
