Greetings to one and all!

I am just a new hire in a new company. I have been using Visual Basic ever since version 3. And been using Crystal Reports ever since then. The scenario is that my company is under budget, they say Crystal 8 is too expensive for an enterprise development. They're either planning to buy other report writers or use VB6's Data Report Writer. I haven't tried other report writers as well as VB6's.

I would like to get each and everyone's opinion regarding VB6's Report writer VS. Crystal or other report writers. I'm sure this will also help those who are starting out with report writers.

Thank you for your replies.
