Re: Opinions and experiences with ReportBro

If I'm understanding correctly, that last question can be rephrased
as: Do programmers provide some way for the users to do all that for
themselves?
Is that what you're asking?

That’s a good question. Let’s go with it even if it’s a little different than mine.

What if document templates need to be merged with data models? What if data models are complex, say consisting of data from a dozen or more database objects? What if data sources are conditioned based on, say a dozen or more parameters that must be entered or retrieved at runtime? What if reporting needs to be tied to menu items? What if access to menu items needs to be authorized? What if reporting is tied to, say batch processing?

Do programmers put all that together for users?
