Hi Charlotte,

Yes, I understand but an open question of this thread (at least for me) -
are the current Gustav report's layout to be developed and the events to be
processed when report is previewed/printed "standardized" enough to be
designed within one of the built-in VS report designers/engines or it's
worth/the only option for Gustav is to spend some money to purchase
third-party tools, and time to learn third-party tools, and then implement
*exact* layout Gustav's customers wanted to have and exact report's
previewing/printing/manipulation events? I mean if customers are not going
to invest *their own* money in purchasing for Gustav company third-party
tool as well as to invest in Gustav's learning this tool, then I'd recommend
to the Gustav's customers to standardize their report's layouts - that would
be win-win (less expensive) for all the involved parties, with reports'
layout still being good and advanced enough because VS report designer
(RDL(C) based) is a modern reporting tool:

- http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/forums/en-US/vsreportcontrols/threads/ 
- http://www.devx.com/dotnet/Article/30424/1954 

And my guess (coming from my experience what is that to deploy CR reports,
and what is that to deploy VS RDL(C) reports) - my guess is that the many
options (based on the same report design/data source) to deploy VS (RDLC)
reports are so advanced that they beat all and every other modern reporting
tools...

Just my opinion...

Thank you.
