Hi Steven

It is not easy to adopt reporting engines "less than" Access. What
people like your client forget (and why should they care) is that
Access reports can contain code and perform a lot of tasks other than
collecting and arranging some lines of data.

If this is a low volume site, have you considered using Access as a
server side printing engine? On the web-server or a separate server
you run Access which somehow monitors the web site and prints reports
on demand to a pdf-printer which saves the pdf-files in a directory on
the web-server. It's not that easy as it sounds, I know, but the
advantage is, that you use your current Access skills and license
costs are zero if you use a runtime.
