Hi All,

We are using VS2003 and are producing crystal reports for use within the
applications.
We are finding the use of crystal report.net (or whatever people refer to
the reporting in VS) cumbersome compared to the interface of full blown
Cyrstal Reports 9.

Which is better for creating and designing reports for use it VS2003 CR9 or
CR10??

In order to ustify the purchase I'm going to have to list the reasons why we
shouldn't continue to use CR.net.
Could people add to them:

1. No preview support
2. No button interface for creating new objects
3. Cannot combine Text object and field objects (drag a field into box with
text).
4. Cannot select mutliple items.

Any more pointers are welcomed.

Thanks

Alex
