The manager on this project wants to write the reports and the only product they know is R&R. Since the users do not write any of the reports, they have no preference. As long as the reports work, they are happy. There is no report that R&R can not handle so I created it in RP. Just curious, do you use ADS for your DBF clients? Barbara
From: Ginny Caughey on 17 Jul 2010 09:28 No I don't use ADS. I use either DBFCDX or SQL Server. We're trying to get all our clients migrated to the SQL Server versions of our apps, but as you may imagine it won't happen overnight, and partly because the DBFCDX versions generally work ok for the customers who use it. I'm not enhancing the DBF version though - new stuff is SQL only (and often written in C# which gives me more options). For ad-hoc reporting, DBF clients use ReportPro or Crystal, based on which they prefer. SQL clients use either Crystal or SQL Server Reporting Services, based on which they prefer. We have stock reports in all 3 formats for them to choose from as a starting point, and my staff can support all 3. Internally, the DBF version uses ReportPro for reports that aren't hard-coded, while the SQL version uses SSRS. We just never had any requests for R&R - if we had I'm sure we'd support that too. We also never had any requests for ADS, although pretty much 100% or the RFPs we see these days specify SQL Server. We aren't seeing any requests at all for DBF for new customers and haven't for years. -- Ginny Caughey www.wasteworks.com
