Hi Listers, I'm peering into my crystal snowball and I see dozens of complex reports in my near future. These reports need to be generated from dynamic (server-side) databases & whipped up to the user in an editable format (rtf/doc). I have used an open-source Perl script (now an open source kit available at http://search.cpan.org/search?dist=RTF-Writer). I need to forego the Perl solution because 1) My Perl skills (not there) & more important, 2) I hope to train someone to build reports in a Win environment w/familiar interface widgets, etc.
What I'm looking for is anyone with some experiences generating reports on-the-fly ... which toolkits, how much$, pitfalls, etc. The target platform is a win2k-server-based intranet with a variety of possible datasources (access 2k, sql server 7, oracle, etc.) Finally, I need to make a decision, say, today or tomorrow, buy the software and produce, say, yesterday ;) Thanks!
