If you are of the mindset that Crystal Sucks! RS is no better. You can do basic reports easily on RS, in crystal you can make them look better. RS does a great job with standard reports as well as Cross Tabs. RS will give you all the drill down you want, so that is not an issue, it is just a requery away. RS will pre-run reports and dispatch them to members when you decide, so if 5 peole get the same report and it is a bear to produce from a data POV, you can do it before they get in and they have an email to reference the finished product. This is the primary reason to jump into RS from my POV. In my case it was regional sales directors that got sales data week in year values across the last 3 years by customer. Your first edit a report in RS will have you frustrated! Intuitive was forgotten when they designed this product. :) -- Stephen Russell Sr. Production Systems Programmer SQL Server DBA Web and Winform Development Independent Contractor Memphis TN 901.246-0159 _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/[email protected] ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
