Creating an Exportable Report

[Ryan Thompson]

Hello,

I'd like to receive input on your opinions regarding creating a stanardized
exportable report format. We primarily work in VB and ASP and will be
moving to ASP.net later this year.

Our primarily goal is to create something on which we can build upon. We've
built a lot of reporting tools such as PDF via FDF Toolkit, export to .csv,
..rtf etc but haven't found anything yet that really is flexible and easy to
work with.

Any input is appreciated for ASP or ASP.net

A non-web saveable and printer friendly format. Excel, Word, PDF or
something else with a free reader would be preferred.

It's still not clear what you are asking for.

If it is just the export format that is a concern and if you have used PDF's
in the past why not continue?

If it is the report generation (data retrieval and page layout) that you
need help with then you might consider a web-based reporting engine such as
the one available for Crystal Reports (I believe the viewers are able to
print and export to the local system). There is also one available that uses
MS Access reports but I don't remember the name (activereports??).
