What new Oracle product provides user friendly reports??

Hi,



I've recently taken over an Oracle5 project that was abandoned (due to 
lack of funds) over a year ago. I've upgraded to Oracle6 on VMS, added a 
couple of features and gotten all of the reports to run in SQL. I still 
have to convert to use on a PC (but I expect no problem).



Anyway, the next stage involves documentation and a new way to design the 
reports, (i guess) 'cause this is where it starts getting foggy. I've been 
told a new Oracle product has just been released in the States and we should 
get it here in Canada soon. From what I gather it's supposed provide easier
end use in Forms (is this Forms 4?) and it will generate 'fancier' reports, 
possibly supporting graphics!?



I believe it runs on Windows but I still don't know what I'm talking about.
I've been checking this news.group for new product releases but haven't seen 
anything that looks right. Does this sound familiar to anybody?



I'm ahead of schedule and will be needing to finalize the report format soon.
Plus I can't write the documentation if I don't know what's running!
Any information will be much appreciated.



Thanks,



Allison Rothmel
