Question
Hi Todd,
I am running into trouble with using Excel for generatign reports and was wondering what other software options are out there.  How would you say Crystal is?  What would you reccomend?

Answer
Hi Charissa,

I ned more information. Are you running against essbase or some other technology on the back end.  What types of issues are you having?  What are you doing that you would consider unique?

I don't have much experience with Crystal but my impression is that it is a good tool to run smaller reports against smaller SQL databases.  I could be wrong.
