Pete,

Regarding Jasper Reports, I mentioned that I thought performance was poor in the Student Transcript case, but that was a purely subjective observation, and I need to keep all options open at this point; as I mentioned, I'm not too keen about reinventing the wheel.

I followed-up on Aaron's suggestion about BIRT, and stepped through the Flash demo at the Eclipse Web site. The report designer plugin for Eclipse looks pretty good. Actually, most WYSIWYG report designers follow the familiar metaphor of dragging data source elements to report bands (header, footer, group, detail, etc.). I plan on going through more of the Birt Documentation later.

I got a call from Sal Stangarone at www.mrc-productivity.com. They offer developer tools for reporting, and I appreciated their input.

I'll probably have a few more observations and post them in a reply, later.

Thanks,

Nathan.
