theres a big diff in performance and features between progress v9 and openedge 10.

what version are you using, exactly ?


Crystal Reports, Actuate, Business Objects, Cognos are some of the big names.

check with your vendor he may already have a reporting package based on one of these tools.

i'm really interested in looking into eclipse BIRT when i'll have the time.

hello doreynie,

any particular reason for recommending this tool ?

Hi,

BTW: are there external report-builders which have native-driver-support to progress-db`s or are they exclusively connecting by ODBC?
I mean connecting by ODBC will be very slow.

Not really, but I'm experimenting right now with it. And it seems pretty ok to me.
