I didn't evaluate the report generator because I was still working in the Access world at the time the decision was made. I disliked CR in VB, so I was quite happy to accept DataDynamics ActiveReports instead, which is what we settled on. It handles subreports like Access and includes a wizard that does a fair job of converting Access reports. It takes some skill to know what to do *after* the conversion to make it all work, but it isn't really that hard. We build n-tier .Net apps, so we don't use the built in data connection handling and bind our reports to data entities instead.

Charlotte, Do you have any feel for Crystal Reports in Visual Studio .NET? Is it just simpler to buy a third-party report generator?
