Russell,
Thanks for the recommendation. I will look into
Business Objects. BO won gold from OTJ not long ago,
and there's going to be a demonstration in my neck of
the woods next month. 

Is Discoverer2000 a different product from Discoverer?

Discoverer I find to be too sequential; users familiar
with the gestalt of the graphical interface in Access
will find it somewhat cumbersome.
What a tool Access would be it it supported native
connectivity to the underlying RDBMS,instead of
Jet/ODBC.
Tim
