Roger,

RPT lead to SQL*ReportWriter, which lead to Oracle Reports. And, yes, many of the people that I have dealt with at Oracle don't remember RPT. Then again, some of them have just gotten their first car, filed their taxes for the first time, etc.

There is a tool that converts RPT to SQR. TUSC, based in Chicago, currently sells this product. I don't have their number on me, but if you can't get it via information, let me know and I'll dig it up.

TUSC stands for The Ultimate Software Consultants.

I have not used their tool personally, but I have heard positive things about the latest version.
