We're using Sql Server, so the reporting services might be worth investigating. However, from the name it sounds like it just provides data. Does it also have a report designer ala Crystal?

Unfortunately, of the 3 I suggested SQL Server Reporting Service is the only one I have never used, but I have heard of it and friends have told me it is a viable solution. I took a look at this article and it looks like it uses Visual Studio report designer. SQL Server Reporting Services - Lessons Learned In Development and Deployment[^] I will probably try it the next time I have to write reports.

I took a closer look at the article and it looks like it uses Visual Studio report designer. If you have VS it should work.
