RE: [SYSTEM21] JBA Reporting

["Trask, William" <WTrask@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

We use Client Access 4.3, Windows XP and Crystal Reports 8.5
Speed on Crystal is as fast as on the AS/400.
Our AS/400 is an 810 using V5R2.

PS: We also use the MyEureka (formerly IQ Objects) reporting tool. It's not
as user friendly as Crystal Reports, but does have the advantage of being
able to create "read-only" reports (from live data) that can be set up on
user desktops.

I found the ODBC driver quite slow when trying to create Crystal Reports - 
how are you connecting to the AS/400?

Crystal Reports is a terrific product. We use Version 8.5, but there is a
newer one out now.

We use it for System 21 and other AS/400 programs - even tying System 21
records with our HR program. Reports can be dynamic or static - we publish
static reports to our 
Intranet
site for users.
It also has a built in SQL Wizard which comes in handy sometimes.

We are searching for a better report writing method than query. Has anyone
used the Crystal product and how did it work for you?
