Hi Kevin, thanks for your reply.
Its good to know that a lot of people are changing....it gives more choice.
I've posted a few queries on Tracy's reply which I'll copy here..agfain thanks for your help
To be specific about a few issues :
Have you used SSRS to
1. Print out to pre printed forms (e.g. Invoices , Despatch dockets) whch requires precise positioning
2. Used it to print Page x of Y whcih requires the Start Page to be reset to 1 in the middle of
a batch
3. Print onto Dot Matrix printer 9Yes I know this technology is old but there are an amazing no. of users
out there who just will not let go !!!
Thanks for your feed back
regards,
Gerard

If you're developing a smart-client type app, where reports run on the desktop, I say go with CR. However, in a browser-based reporting environment, SSRS is the better choice.
