>>Yes, how difficult it will be for an average user (not very technical) to learn and use Crystal?
I've had several end users learn to use Crystal Reports successfully, and an equal number who could not.
In my experience, if learning MS Word has difficuly 1 and learning to do a simple spread sheet has diffiiculty 3, then Crystal Reports would be about a 5.
I recommend that my end users attend a one day class.
Anyone who does not go overboard- deserves to.
