Our internal application users have been requesting some pretty complicated reports... anywhere from 20-75 data fields organized 25 ways from sunday, etc. What they really desire is to pick any field from any page in the application and generate a custom report, etc. and have the ability to save the criteria to use again, etc. I have some ideas on how to approach this, but in terms of presenting the reports; HTML output is getting tough since they want so much information and the real estate is just not there.... not too mention some of the reports are going to the president and what not (executive tye reports) and they desire a nice looking report. I have about 7 reports now that are fine in HTML but what are some things I can look into or that others have used in terms of more complicated reports. The backend is a SQL Server 2K DB. Crystal reports? COM and the MS products? The front end and such is done in CFMX 6.1 with lots of JS and CSS. Looking for some ideas or 3rd party products to look into. Thanks, Mike
