>So what about Crystal? I think you have to look at your needs. If your users are creating their own reports, Crystal is perfect. I have not seen anything that is easier for the end user to learn and create reports. This is what I feel Crystal is designed for. But if your need is that of a developer who creates canned reports for your users to run out of the box, I feel that that is easier to do from within fox.

Jeremy,

Besides for those really exotic reports with all the graphics and formatting, automating Word works really well.
