As far as I know the end user does not have to pay any license fees. Please correct me if I am wrong.

>>Crystal is aguably the most used report generator for .NET because a version is included with VS. I am not saying Crystal is the best :) I use Crystal to generate my reports. "Pushing" data into a Crystal report reminds me about how I did it in VFP where I also got all my data ready in a cursor and then let the report use that cursor.

>>>I'm a bit stuck in creating my reports at this stage. I have been evaluating xtraReports, which seems to be a good choice for now. I use StrataFrame framework, which delivers me well structured business objects.
>>>So far, so good.

>>>I was used to get all my needed report data ready in a Cursor in VFP, and then just let the report use the temp cursor and do its job.

>>>Before I go through a wierd path, would you guys share your experiences in this matter?

>>>Thanks in advance.
Semper ubi sub ubi.
