They contacted me last year to write a book.Due for publication this month, I see.
Actually I think that's quite an important topic. Reporting is indeed critical. Just curious... why are you doing this with Paddock and not somebody like Craig B who has enormous experience with Crystal and has himself written a more generic book on the topic? Also are you talking about LINQ at all?
Also just curious, are you advocating use of SP for reporting or are you using SPT or similar to allow more flexibility? I know that it is regarded as normal these days for users to be able to craft reports on data to which they have access without having to call for a program change or IT assistance. Just curious.
"... They ne'er cared for us
yet: suffer us to famish, and their store-houses
crammed with grain; make edicts for usury, to
support usurers; repeal daily any wholesome act
established against the rich, and provide more
piercing statutes daily, to chain up and restrain
the poor. If the wars eat us not up, they will; and
there's all the love they bear us."
-- Shakespeare: Coriolanus, Act 1, scene 1
