José, I'm still working on this, but I don't think I can install tomcat in this old underpowered customer's PC. Nevertheless, thank you very much for the tip. I think it'll be useful not only for me, but for anyone doing reporting in web apps. BTW, I think it could be useful to copy this thread to the Wiki or other more persistant organized place. Any ideas? Ed. [EMAIL PROTECTED] escribió: Well after reading the many threads on this topic I am going to have to take a look at reportlab. But after playing around a bit with datavision, for most database reports it is going to be my application of choice. It has a very nice drag and drop report generator, and I can serve the reports to my clients as either html or pdf with minimal coding. the only drawback is that it is a java app and does not integrate with webware, so I am running if off my tomcat server, but with jython and a little hacking you can write java servlets in a pretty pythonic way so I'm happy. I am currently working migrating an access report (I can hear the groans already) over to datavision so that i can deliver it as pdf's to my clients. If you've not solved this problem to your satisfaction i would urge you to give datavision a try. I can share my servlets with you if it would help get you started, but the jsp and the servlet examples are pretty straight forward and is what I used to write my test code.

If what you want is a Crystal Reports like product why not use datavision (http://sourceforge.net/projects/datavision) its free and works ok.

Right now, html reports produce poor results (pagination is not constant). I bigger companies, we use Crystal Reports, but this is a small non-for-profit organization, so we can't afford commercial software. What are you guys using? I was checking out reportlab, but it seems a lot of work, and I couldn't find tables support.
