Re: Reporting Tool


Why do you have to get rid of Access? One thing we did with an
application when a user required custom reporting is provide an Access
reporting front end to the application that used web services to
download selected data to the local system which they can then run
custom reports and queries on. We even denomalized the data to make
their reporting easier.

The users were very happy with the solution and never bothered us for
new reports.

HTH,

Sam
