RE: RE: Alternative to Crystal Reports

We've had problems with BO (hmmm...) against our 8.1.7.2.0 DBs. Sometimes, when the user cancels a particularly bad BO report, the server process on the DB loops infinitely.

Also, from a design aspect, it seems that it's difficult to join tables in multiple ways for multiple reports. Not being a BO kind of guy, I can't say first-hand, though.

My $.02,
