> What are you using (duh!)?

ASC Sequel with user interface, report writer, and tabling.

> DO you like it and why?

more flexible (IMHO) than Query... but then again I guess it is just what
you learn...

> Are your users able to do their own and why or why not?

Yes... We have several "power-users" that do their own sequels.  Keeps
piddly reports off of MIS staff. Wish more users did the same... especially
sales... in fact... why do we need sales anyway.... ;-)

> Have you researched other tools (like the PC based ones)?

no... PC's crash all the time...

> How do you restrict user performance impacts?

break the fingers of those who run interactive queries... got one girl that
is all thumbs....
require that reports (especially on menus) use the BCHREPORT cmd, snarl very
loudly when an interactive query is run and have threatened to remove the
ability should it continue.  We do not have menu available interactive query
displays.
