I was wondering if anyone could give me some info on reporting application successes/failures they've experienced. We are thinking of implementing Crystal Reports, but will also need something that creates pdf's (we are currently using pdf include).
I did a Crystal course today, and the trainer told me he prefers Access to Crystal for reporting purposes? I was amazed, haven't used Access for years, is it secure enough? We obviously want to prevent users from updating data through an ODBC connection. Is anyone using Access for reporting and is it secure?
If you are using Crystal, are you instantiating the Crystal Viewer or are you running your reports off a web server? Can anyone make some useful comparisions to Actuate, is that a better way to go?
Thanks, all info helps!
