Creating Reports

[Mark A Gregory]

We would like to create reports with the Office XP OWC.
What is the fastest way to do it and to test the reports?
Is there a GUI that can be used, or does it have to be done
using notepad?

We use .Net 2003 for our application development. Is this useful
when it comes to developing OWC reports?

Are there examples, and more documentation anywhere?

thank you
mark

Hi Peter,

thank you for the info. I suppose I'm interested in the best way to create
client side reports.
I will do more reading before posting further on this topic.
