I cannot really compare it to anything else. When we decided to convert our payroll app to C++ in 1997, Crystal was pretty much the only game in town. It is also quite widely used. It has a nice GUI editor where you create report files by pulling data from a database source. The finished report is an .rpt file that you distribute and use the CR engine to display/print.

I suggest you download rdccpp85.exe from the BusinessObjects site. It has an example on how to call a report from C++. It lacks examples on how to pass an argument to it though, but ask if you need it Smile | :)

Also. I have two books on Cr9 on the shelf. Both are OK. One is Mastering Crystal Reports 9 from Sybex, the other is Crystal Reports Essential by Jill K Howe from Premier Press. Both are avalable from Amazon.

I had a quick chec at the Visual Reports site. It seems similar. I also see that there is an eval version you can download. for us, we stick with CR despite it's quirks. We are taking about a commercial app here, with a lot of reports. So I would rather not have to recreate those. FWIW, we are licensed for CR version XI, but selected to use CR9 for now, "because that is what the bulk of the other vendors use"

Your selection will also depend on what fees if any are on redistribution. A crystal developer license allows pretty much unlimited distribution.
