If you know anything about Java, check out the Jakarta Apache project's POI classes. They allow you to create, edit, delete, format, etc...office documents without having to install office on your servers. You can create some pretty awesome excel based reports with this. I just finished up a contract with a major online learning company and created some reports with this. I was quite impressed with them. Here's a link to a site set up by a CF developer with some code to help you set this up.
Eric -----Original Message----- From: Mark Leder [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, 26 January 2006 10:58 To: CF-Talk Subject: Building Reports A client wants to know options for CF report writing for an average (non-programmer) end user. I know about Crystal Reports (big, hard to understand and use), and Report Mill (expensive). Are there other options (browser or non-browser-based)? Can CF7's own reporting tool be freely distributed to end users. Are there major security risks of doing so? Is CF7's report writer easy to understand and use by a lay person?
