Need a simple database reporting tool

Asked By alendonald 30 points N/A Posted on - 07/29/2011

Hello,

I have non-technical users who want to create their own reports (accountants, managers, etc). I don't know Crystal Reports, but based on what I can tell, it requires that you know a fair amount about how your database is structured and how to build queries. Is there a reporting tool out there that will let business users easily create their own reports? Maybe something that I can set up initially for them that shows data at a more abstract level, or something that runs on top of Crystal Reports?

Thanks.

Crystal Reports is a Report Tool that helps to preview and print data into a hard copy. It's compatible with any programming language in terms of higher quality such as Microsoft Visual Basic 6.0 version. It is hard to setup for having this report because you have to build/create a desired information that has many procedures to do. Let us presume that you are using this Microsoft Visual Basic Application, the alternate way of making a simple way to make a report is Data Report that can be found in the Data Environment of Microsoft Visual Basic. It is a built in component that can be easily managed to create a Report in a convenient way. Data Report is a Tool that helps to create an easy report for printing process. You can customize details and information that allow the user to preview and manage the task. It is agreed that the alternative way to make an easy Report Tool is the Data Report.
