    Reports

    Anyone have any suggestions of a good reporting tool to purchase with Visual Basic 6.0

    Thanks!

    Seagate Crystal Reports works well.
    You might make sure that the VB reporting tool isn't going to suffice before you go buy something though because you'll escape some of the packaging nightmares.

    We have extremely detailed reporting needs. So I think we are going to have to go with a package. Are you currently using Crystal??

    And thanks for the feedback:-)

    We are. Right now we're using Crystal 7. We're planning to upgrade to Crystal 8, but they had some problems with their install that was screwing up the Registry (this was a while ago). I hope that it has been fixed.
    I don't personally design the reports, but we haven't had a report request that we haven't been able to fulfill, yet.
    The reason I mentioned the deployment is that you've got to include a lot of dlls in your install if the app is on the client.

    Thanks! That is definitely helpful. I haven't done this before so searching for an appropriate tool is becoming more involved than I have thought!

    How's it going
    I noticed that you said you used Crystal 7.
    I'm using it as well and I have found that the runtime file requirements are a nightmare wit hsome reports working and some not.
    I don't suppose you could send me a list of the dll's you distribute with your app so that I can see if I'm missing anything.
    Cheers
    Tony

    Re: Reports

    I'm not sure if this is everything, but here is a list of some we do use:
    craxdrt.dll
    craxddt.dll
    craxdui.dll
    p2smon.dll
    crpaig32.dll
    u2fodbc.dll
    u2l2000.dll
    u2ddisk.dll
    u2dmapi.dll
    u2fcr.dll
    u2fdif.dll
    u2fhtml.dll
    u2frec.dll
    u2frtf.dll
    u2fsepv.dll
    u2ftext.dll
    u2fwks.dll
    u2fwordw.dll
    u2fxls.dll
    crxlat32.dll
    u2lcom.dll
    u2lbar.dll
    u2ldts.dll
    u2lexch.dll
    u2lfinra.dll
    u2lsamp1.dll
    u2frdef.dll
    u2dvim.dll
    u2dpost.dll
    u2dnotes.dll
    u2dapp.dll
    crviewer.dll

    There are also several MS dlls that are dependencies also, but I've found that the seagate site has a decent amount of info about those depency files.

    Good luck,
    Adam
