Arti,

We made need more detail from you on your objectives.  What setup do you
have and what type of reports are you intending to generate?  For instance,
do you have SQL2000 or MA2000 and are you attempting to generate table
reports or analytical reports based on a many to one relationship etc.?

For many of the reports you will generate regardless of this information
will be dependent on DataGrids.  DataGrids allow you the flexibilty in
generating reports.  If you have VS, you may also have access to Crystal
Reports.  I know it comes with Enterprise Edition but I don't know about
other versions.

HTH,

Tim

Hi Tim
Thanks for the prompt reply. I have SQL server 2000 as the back end. Most
reports will be analytical in nature - like the user may wish to omit a few
columns from display etc. Our development platfrom front end is ASP.net.
Also, is it possible to have graphs displayed in these reports?

Thanks a million

I think you might want to explorer the many .NET reporting tools avail.
Crystal comes with VS.NET but for a full deployment license its NOT Cheap. I
have heard nothing but good things about ActiveReports.NET and its nowhere
near the cost of Crystal. The are a handful of .Net reporting tools out
there..

I would start your search with www.asp.net website to find more.

Arti,

That's correct.  You can just about do anything in .net.  What it comes down
to is choosing your poison ;).  Like I said, Crystal is packaged with
Enterprise and will allow you to do whatever Crystal is known for doing in
report generation.  However, I took a stab at using Crystal and besides the
licensing issues, I found it to be too cumbersome to figure out from a VS
perspective.  DataGrids will allow for some report flexibility as well
however, it's all you.  My experience with DG's is that you can get to basic
level very quickly.  I like the way they utilize Stored Procedures and
layout characteristics.  However, my delma with them currently is in
advanced formatting.  Turning DG's into Smart DG's where they recognize
certain columns and format them accordingly.  Nonetheless, you'll find what
you need there.

Cheers,

Tim
