Hi, In a previous project we had to build around 350 reports in HTML, all from XML generated bij JPSs. We decided to write an XSL library that had a number of templates to build several parts of the report (ie. HTML and XSL code). Worked like a charm and all the specific reports consisted of were some specific details, the rest was pretty generic & parameter driven. Adding a new type of report was easy and could be done in a jiffy.
My best advice would be: use a good old plain text editor and do something like the above because all graphical tools in the world do not produce code as good as a programmer does. I've seen some horrible results from things like XML Spy XSL designer etc. Yikes!

OK, A lot of thanks Rabi. We have the database in ADABAS (it's our problem) We want to use some graphical tool, if you know something more later i am grateful if you tell me. We are going to have to design a lot of model of reports (about one hundred or two hundred) and the use of graphical tool help us.We have find a tool like XSLFast allow "draw" the report and it generate the source code XSL needed to apply for XML data.
