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?
