All my experiences have been bad, try MS reporting services instead if you have SQL Server licences.

I thought it was a tampon joke!

Actually it's not my choice in the matter. The only thing as far as database that I know is Access. So this is a pretty big step up for me. So yeah...that's where I am in this matter.

What was the question?
Basically it depends on the database structure. Simple database, simple report writing. Used to do a little CR on a flat database, easy. The database we use now.. forget it. I'm not really a "software" person. I like working with hardware. I hate even trying to pull an excel spredsheet out of it if it's too complex. But to each his own, and I would give it a shot.

The military has started to use Crystal Reports 9.0 for some of it's Iraq IED reporting. It is being integrated into many aspects of the overall structure of command and control. I am not intimate with the software, but definately would be somethingworth learning.

Crystal reports is very scalable, and it can be very complex. It all depends on your relational database structure. At our financial institution, our database is huge and quite complex. We have a programmer who deals specifically with our intranet/internet web pages and database queries using crystal.
I'm the jack of all trades around here and though I'd like to learn Crystal, I've got more than I can handle on my plate already.
