So, does anyone actually use Crystal

Reports, that is? I hated in when I tried it a few years ago, and I use my own report generator anyways, so what do y'all think about Crystal Reports? What do you use for report generation? Marc Help! I'm an AI running around in someone's f*cked up universe simulator.

Did not like the licensing with Crystal reports and have been evaluating Active Reports from Data Dynamics. They only work with VB in anything prior to .NET. That kept me from evaluating it earlier. For .NET though, they work with C# and that is all I use any more. It handles things a little differently than Crystal but thier licensing is not near as bad as Cystal reports. Rocky Moore <><
Funny you mention Active Reports; I just bought the Standard Edition last night after evaluating it for a month. I've had numerous problems with Crystal in the past, not to mention DLL hell. Active Reports on the other hand is much more flexible, and makes distribution a lot easier. John. www.silveronion.com[^]
