Hi Bruce,
Thank you so much for your comments. Turns out I have a lot to learn about Brio. It's not my job to create the metadata layer in the app so I passed that info on to our report programmer. She knew exactly what you were talking about <whew!> I really thought we were on the road to ruin.

One follow-up thought that I neglected to mention before:
Business Objects definitely does metadata better. If you're looking for embed a lot of metadata about heirarchies, related tables, source information, etc., then BO will support that better. Brio is okay, but it's not really robust in that area.
So if you want to make a case for BO over Brio, you might want to start pushing the importance of good metadata, and start entering a lot of it into your database. With that as a opening ante, you might be able to sway the decision a bit.
thanks,
bruce
