I don't "need" anything. I was simply commenting on how good the report builder in Access is.
And yes, I've used Report Builder, SQL Reporting Services, Crystal Reports and all the other tools that have been available over the last 20 years. None of them have the ease and the intuitive interface that Access has. They are complex and difficult to use, and impossible to teach to non-programmer. That being said, I would never recommend Access as a production database, which I stated in my first comment.
