I am currently involved in a major project evaluating data-access tools, including report generators...but until it is completed, we are very happy with Crystal Reports Professional - it meets all the needs you listed, has exceptional features and has been rock solid on win95 and WinNT ( as well a 16bit Win3.1) clients. Check them out at www.seagatesoftware.com/crystalreports/

Also we have users who are pleased with 'Forrest and Trees' from Platinum Technologies....

( We are a Netware 4.11, Oracle 7.xx 'shop' with ODBC links to a SqlServer Data Warehouse( for the time being, anyway ))

Hope it helps,
