Hi Steve You can do that: ReportViewer Web Server and Windows Forms Controls http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms251771(v=vs.100).aspx If you use SQL Server (including Express version, though with a few limitations), you can even choose to have the reports generated either at the database server or in Local Mode: Using the ASP.NET 2.0 ReportViewer in Local Mode http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/15597/Using-the-ASP-NET-2-0-ReportViewer-in-Local-Mode This is the site that got me on the track - lots of tips here: http://gotreportviewer.com/ /gustav >>> erbachs at gmail.com 25-02-12 19:40 >>> Gustav, I finally took the opportunity to look at Northwind.NET. I see that it's a Windows application, not ASP.NET. I was a bit crestfallen since I had hoped to learn something from the way you fellows put reports together. But since you use the Windows-based report viewer, I wonder what, if anything, is available for designing web reports without having to code them "by hand". I'm going to take a more serious look at the VS report designer since I finally found out how much it would cost to license the Crystal Reports runtime on a web host.
