you have to beware. When I used crystal reports about 4 years ago we
pretty much had to buy tech support for $2500. There were just too many
technical questions we needed answered to use the product correctly. And
then there was $2500 for the support of the business objects component of
the product. No way I could have configed the business objects server
without technical support. I used SQL procedures to separate the business
logic of the report from the reporting logic. That worked ok, but it was
still a lot of work. SQL views will also work well.

SQL server has a good reporting tool that I have never used but read about
as an alternative to crystal reports.

Was interested in hearing how people find using CR with the AS/400.

How do you make the connection is there any issues there.

Do you use Logical views on the AS/400 or run SQL Queries. Assuming for
dynamic needs from user, wants latest data.

Do you make all formatting and data massaging on the AS/400 or do you use
the formula features of CR.

I heard that fastest method for CR is to use their parameters for
filtering, is this so?
