Currently we're using Doc's MySQL protocol to link Rebol/View forms to MySQL. We've trialled using PDF Forms / mailmerge docs for an Access forms replacement and it seems to work rather well (Thats with Adobe's PDF tools - this however limits us to Windows). Other possibilities we have looked at are an OpenOffice / StarOffice mailmerge for reports. The bonus being that it lets us run hybrid systems while changing clients from Windows to Linux. A custom reports engine was looked at but it seemed to be a large expense with very little benefit that we cannot get more easily from another source.
