:-) Ya, I was thinking I would try to stay away from formatting in HTML,
and let the tool do it, quite like Crystal would (at least, I think it
does...have only read books on it in Barnes & Noble). But I could resort to
using JSP's to build the reports.
Hmmmm, I will check Freshmeat too, though.
I just figured I can't be the first guy on the block that wants to design
reports out of MySQL without using Windows. I mean, I recall MySQL boasting
that NASA uses MySQL...what the heck do they use for reporting? Of course,
I suppose if you have MySQL on an NT machine, you can add Crystal
Reports.....
Any additional dialog from anyone else (you too J.K. :-0 ) would be
appreciated!
