Several

1) output raw data that is automatically imported into another tool (like Excel or FileMaker)

Hum, using FileMaker to generate my reports after trying to get rid of it to develop DB apps using RB???

Excel : See my answer to Gerard.


 2) write an Excel file directly (not using Office Automation though)

- Need Excel on the customer's computer
- Relying on Microsoft for a file format? (see the changes in each major release of Excel for instance) - Must be very difficult to implement in RB for a well formatted report with graphics, sub-totals etc…


3) PDF using a "template" system I wrote that allows a user to set up a template PDF that then is filled in with blocks of data they can specify in a designer tool

I don't understand what you mean sorry



 4) OnTargetReports

Looks like a very well known tool among RB developers?



Thanks for your time Norman,


Youri
