Crystal Reports Alternatives

[ben789]

Does anyone know any alternatives to crystal with a royalty free runtime?

Particularly if they are more DTP like, i.e. allowing dynamic pictures / flowing text around pictures /etc?

Thanks.

Ah. Good, free reporting tools. The Holy Grail of the software developer!

Basically, no. We tend to write our own bespoke solutions as its always such a pain.

Sorry, I didn’t mean free ... I don’t mind paying (budget ~£1000+, more if it does everything I need it to) as long as I can integrate the stuff into our app and not have to pay royalties for each copy given away/sold

that'll teach me to RTFP
