Hey everybody,

I'm using VB for a new project i'm doing and want to know from other peoples experience which reporting tool is best.

I have used Excel as a reporting tool before and liked it because it gave me full control ovr what information was being displayed in the report at run time.

I have seen and used Crystal Reports but only for small reports from one table. Unfortunately it seems the only way to use CR with multiple tables is to use a temporary table with all relevant information in it. This seems ridiculous. Is there any way to use this tool with full control like i had in Excel. CR just seems to look more professional.

Also i have heard od Access reports. Does anyone know if it is worth using.

Any advice on reporting and what i should use is much appreciated.

Richie.
