My recommendation would be for a quick development reporting tool would be Crystal Reports, Version 4.5. This is the report writer included in several toolsets, including Visual Basic. Coming up to speed on it takes little time and I have produced as many as 34 new reports with it in a single week. It has a royalty free runtime for distribution, allows user-input variables, has extensive exporting and graphing capabilities, and a vast array of built-in functions. It is produced by Crystal Services, a Vancouver-based Seagate company.
For end-user reporting with top-notch security and administration
capabilities, I would suggest Impormptu by Cognoa, however. While I
have not yet gotten a chance to work with it, all recent reviews put
it at the top.
