| Hello,I'm wondering what applications are available for simple reports and charts. Just to put things in context this is for people who are only just using SQL for the first time. I'm slowly weening them off copying an entire flat table of all our tables combined into excel and pivoting them. So basically I would like something very easy to use with little coding besides the SQL statement to generate the data. I know there's the reporting tool with SQL Server, although this looks like it could be too complicated for them.Any suggestions?Thanks,Mike |

| SQL reporting is not too complex if you know T-SQL and a bit of VB functions. |

| Okay, perhaps I could get them to use that. The other issue is that the actually chart object doesn't seem to be that "pretty" or have that many options. Are there other chart objects available? |
