Basically we have people that want a variable set of fields, variable date ranges, rollups, etc. that people randomly want. Some may become regular reports and those ought to be added to the system, but it is the random, ad hoc ones I am trying to keep off my desk, that we all get. And there's already a 'dynamic report' in the old system, and that gets a lot of things. But the new system will, hmm, be terribly dynamic; dang it's just going to be ugly regardless as to what application spits it out.
ok, just, nevermind....

We use Business Objects around here, but AFAIK we do not integrate directly into it with anything, its a separate dept that I don't interface with much. Business folks use the UI for data mining and such for complex adhoc reports. These reports usually do not warrant using CF to generate as they are useful only to a few people. We have used BO to generate a report that we can then have extracted, imported into another DB, then put CF on it to build static reporting for a large number of users. Probably cheaper then handing out BO licenses, especially when user counts exceed 5000, eh?

A message with the subject line of BO really made me wonder. =).
I have not integrated Business Objects before with CF. A lot of my clients that use SQL Server use Analysis Services and the Business reporting.

Anyone out there used Business Objects and CF? This is the company that bought Crystal Reports. Yes I have heard the complaints about CR. We are just pondering a dynamic report generation module and debating the TCO and implementation costs. We already have Biz Objects here, so that isn't a cost really. Don't think anyone on our team has interfaced even with Crystal, much less Biz Objects, so time for implementation might be more than we'd like. But a CF module could end up rather clunky.
