I am a major fan of Report Builder from Digital Metaphors
(www.digital-metaphors.com).
Very very powerful report writer with a great end-user report-building
solution.
So far, there has not been reporting requirements that RB could not handle.
Regards,
Kevin

Thanks Fabrice,

So you suggest - Delphi/IBO

What about reporting tool for windows? (.... we have built our own
PCL/perl reporting scripts ....)
