We use and will continue to use Query. Crystal Reports has provided more features and flexibility that Query just did not offer.

Before I switched careers to software development, ad-hoc reporting was a big part of my job. It's interesting that you moved your data warehouse off the AS/400 and onto an Intel Server. I wonder whether your company simply considered using OS/400 Query, rather than migrate to SQL Server for business intelligence?
