Hi,

I'm currently writing an application for my company which takes all the orders on our system and batches them up into a day's work for a specified number of people. It will store basic timings on how long people take to pack certain items and work out how much work to give them accordingly.

It will all be done using visual basic .NET 2003 (.NET 1.1) and SQL server 2005 workgroup edition.

I have a slight stumbling block in that I need to produce pick notes and a summary of all the orders for each batch. Is it best to use Crystal Reports for this or SQL reporting services? My thinking is that if I use SQL Reporting services, I can set it to run automatically but my main concern at the moment is to get it done as quickly as possible. Is there anyone who can suggest what route I go down?

Thanks a lot,

John.
