Powerbuilder is a GUI tool. Reporting is just part of what it can do. If you are looking for a tool that only does reports, I would not recommend Powerbuilder because it's about $2000 for the full fledged product (the Enterprise edition). Powersoft Corporation makes a product called PowerViewer, though, that was intended to be a report generator. They have since merged PowerViewer with PowerMaker to yield InfoMaker. The number I have for the corporate sales representative is Amy Madden (508)287-1523. She can answer questions about cost better than I. Crystal Reports is a good tool for the cost but the company is hard to get a hold of for technical support.

Good luck!
