Yeah, the reports we have are the canned ones. I can always dump the data into a CSV/Excel file and let them format them etc.. Which will work for 50% of the new reporting requirements, but I will still need the ability to have some reports generated, formatted, and printable... SQL Server Reporting services sounds like a good place to start maybe. They also don't want to wait for blackstone to be released to take advantage of the new reporting capabilities... Which would actually be worth the wait in my opinion...
