[AccessD] OT: What are you lot doing now and then?

We are just getting into full swing with VB.NET, so I haven't had much
opportunity to play with Crystal Reports in that environment.  We use CR
8.5 for much of our SQL Server based reporting, and it just makes me
appreciate the Access report designer more and more.  

In fact I was just in a status meeting this morning where I said "It's
only a matter of time until you find me running around naked in the
streets babbling incoherently that Crystal Reports ruined my life".  Um,
I'm sorry, what was your question again? ;-)

I guess I need to try a newer version of CR before I totally write it
off.  My experiences to date have been really, really painful.  Maybe
I'm just an old Access dog who needs to learn some new tricks, but I'm
still skeptical that CR is the ticket.

SQL Server Reporting Services looks very appealing, for example.

Brett,

Do you use Visual Studio .NET for your VB.NET development? If so, did
you try the Crystal Reports generator? Any thoughts vs. the third party
tools?
