    Generating Reports in VB

    I am using VB and want to generate some reports. Does VB6 come with a report writer.

    VB6.0 Enterprise edition comes with a data reports tool. However I suggest using Crystal Reports as it is a much better tool.

    Another option which is really cool is generating reports in HTML format. There is no tool for this currently, you need to take those strings and put them in a text file.


    One more option is using the word object model to output the report to a Microsoft Word Document. This requires some knowledge of VBA and teh word object model.
