Use the crystal reports tool that comes with VS.NET (I don't think it comes with VB.NET though).

you'll probably want to give up when you read this:

sorry to put a dampener on your project.......

Look on the msdn website there is an article there which has a walkthrough creating a basic reports class. This is a nice demo for generating quick and easy reports when you do not wish to distribute the crystal runtimes

Dont be afraid to use Crystal Reports that comes with VS.NET. Althought it lacks some flexibilites but over all you can make professional reports with it. You should take some points into account when deploying your project, however those points are well documented. So don't give up, at least you will learn something ;)

rudvs2,

do you know the URL of the "which has a walkthrough creating a basic reports class"? or what keywords did your use to find it?

i can't seem to find it.

cheers.

Hi,

I'm also only using VB.NET standard and don't want to have to go to the expense of buying Crystal so I've been exerimenting with rtf controls and formatting text for my reports. Check this link out.
