Thanks a lot for your response. Our company doesn't have a QTP, I have to convenience management that we can save resources if we do automation for report testing. I was looking for tools and I thought may be I will use the trial version of QTP for initial development and if mgmt. is impressed make them buy the tool.
But as you suggested, I can definately look into free tools. Once again thanks for your advise.
