[dba-VB] Report wizard / viewer

Hi John --

You can use MS ReportViewer Control.
It's free.
But it has to be isntalled additionally to .NET Framework on client's
systems.
Installation takes a few seconds.

Be prepared to spend some time to understand its reporting design/process -
it's different from MS Access, or Crystal Reports, ... - but it's quite
powerful when you'll get used to use it.
To make it easy this first time your can try to make your reports' queries
as powerful as possible to leave MS ReportViewer Control only
rendering/totalling tasks...

I am building databases in C# now and am reaching the point where I have to
think about reports.  I see the report wizard and report viewer object.  Are
you guys using this?  Is this crystal reports in a wrapper or something?
Easy, hard?  Things I need to know as I start using this thing?

TIA,
