Its a powerful and flexible tool no doubt and has many advantages. Lots of things are much the same just need to relearn a lot. Its also FREE with Express which is good. Almost every example uses Northwind which is easy to sort out. A real report is a totally different story particulary one that uses a lot of VBA etc. I was wondering if anyone had converted or managed to work with real reports in the environment. The impression I get is it would be as quick to start all over as fix up a complex report. Express itself is very impressive.

That sure sounds like a mess though. :( I checked my copy of Mike's book and there's a huge chapter on Reporting Services, but no mention of problems importing existing reports -- just the instructions for how to do it. :( There's one warning blurb about RS not supporting many Access Report objects. Susan H. Take northwind. Import reports few fixes and it easy. They all can work. Take a real report, vba events etc waste of time, Be just as quick to use reporting services to start again. Was wondering if anyone had got this work for real stuff. Just by importing. Reporting Services dosnt support events,linking sub reports etc of course it has it own way of dealing with this. -- AccessD mailing list AccessD at databaseadvisors.com http://databaseadvisors.com/mailman/listinfo/accessd Website: http://www.databaseadvisors.com <http://www.databaseadvisors.com/>
