Something else you might want to consider is Jasper Reports. It is an open source product, allows you to define reports as XML, and there is even a visual report builder for it. I've used the Jasper XML syntax myself as inspiration for the datagrid/reporting system here at ABN AMRO -- so the vocabulary is quite good. It's Java-based btw. http://jasperreports.sourceforge.net/ Darryl To unsubscribe from this email please forward this email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] This email message is confidential and may be privileged.
