Sorry, but I'm not convinced of this. I've written some pretty complex Crystal Reports way back when, and after working with the Report Builder for a year +, can say that it isn't quite there yet. Good tool, no doubt, but still buggy, and doesn't support some things that I could use. (How about being able to pass in multiple queries to the report.) The IDE is very mouse-unfriendly, and I've seen instances of objects getting "stuck" in invisible places (how does an object get set to a negative y axis inside of a section?). Granted, I'm not on CF8 yet either (we're on 7.02) -- hopefully there's been huge progress made since?
