[AccessD] Access development on the wane?

Yes, I'd second William on that issue of using native Report Viewer Control
- the great additional stuff/set of features to note about it:

- it can be used in both ASP.NET and WinForms similar way;
- it supports .PDF view/export out of the box...
- it supports XLS view/export out of the box...
- one can even generate reports on-the-fly and them render using this
control as reports are in fact text XML files prepared using Report
Definition Language -
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Report_Definition_Language ...

Etc.

Thank you.

...so far I'm using the native Report Viewer Control that comes with vs8 
...its not as flexible as Access Reports but as yet I've not found anything 
I can't do one way or the other ...its a typical MS first edition, you have 
to hunt for code to make it play nice ...there are 3rd party controls that 
purport to do better reports but I've not felt the need to try any of them 
yet.
