Re: Cheap or Free Print/Preview solution needed???

Whew, check out those prices...

I'm sure it used to be MUCH cheaper than that. I got AR for my last job, and
granted I didn't pay for it myself, but my boss was a notorious tight-a**.
I'm sure he would have complained about shelling out $500 dollars plus! Mind
you it was several years ago, and was only the COM version, not the .NET
version.

If I'd have realised the cost, I wouldn't have recomended that. Sorry :-))

Is this for professional/commercial applications, or just for your own use?
If you're not writing for other people, you can use the demo version of AR,
which is free but (obviously) not licenced for commercial distribution...

Thanks for the reply ChrisM. But that package costs more than what I paid
for
the whole developer studio. I only paid $99 for the upgrade to VS2005
Standard. I was hoping to find something considerably under that.

'Active Reports' is pretty good, and fairly cheap.
I have the VS2003 version, but I'd imagine a VS2005 must be available, or
at
least well on the way...

Hello, I hope that I have a simple question with a simple solution. I
currently own and use VS 2005 Standard. My dilema is that I need a good
print/preview/reporting tool to integrate into some of my applications.
I
DON'T want to spend a bunch of money and I would really like something
free
if possible.

Is there anything out there, not Crystal Reports, that is easy to use,
cheap
or perhaps free?

Thanks in advance,
