[Quoted] Your requirements are so self-limiting it is hardly worth trying to help you. [Quoted] [Quoted] Why must it be ODBC compliant? Saying that excludes every single native Oracle reporting tool.
[Quoted] [Quoted] And, quite frankly, if your users are so (I hate to say it) untrainable that [Quoted] they can't learn Crystal I doubt there is any tool they could learn to use. [Quoted] [Quoted] Crystal is mind numbingly easy unless you get into very complex reports.
My personal suggestion would be Oracle's Discoverer, followed by Crystal and [Quoted] Cognos. But I suspect the best advice would be to hire a competent report [Quoted] [Quoted] writer and get the amateurs out of the business (they probably wouldn't create [Quoted] accurate reports anyway).
