Take a look at Virutal Print Engine from www.IdealSoftware.com This is a print engine (so not a report writer) but I can do some very neat tricks. I can show some of these features if you want to. But their demo shows you its power as well.

>The initial requirement is for nested reporting - i.e. two independent reporting formats which may reside *on the same page*. Crystal seems to let us do the nested reports, but forces the second one to go to a new page. The first format is tabular-oriented data, with some summary information, the second is twin columns. Bit hard to explain without the visuals. Its similar to some of the utility-type bills we get here.
