As someone who certainly shares your disdain for CR (and most other report generators i've seen), I can say with absolute honesty that Microsoft's new SQL Server 2000 Reporting Services has me genuinely excited.

We've already begun converting some old, clunky CF reports over to this format with encouraging results.

  OK, wait a minute! I've been looking for a reliable alternative to Crystal Reports for a long, long time. Am I reading this correctly? I'd like nothing better (in my world of programming) than to never have to deal with Crystal again. Really :-) If I can get a formatted report (with groupings, sortings, page numbers, etc), it would save me days of troubleshooting and issue resolution. I know there are "Create PDFs on the Fly" alternatives out there now, but those that I have tried have left me almost as frustrated as Crystal itself.

  Any more info on this (screen prints, etc w/o violating NDA) greatly appreciated.

  Sincerely,
  &Roo
