Steve,
If you can't "convince Oracle Reports to perform in
the way we would like" don't expect Crystal to be anything but worse. It might
be more useful to invest time in looking at what the duhveloper did and tuning
the sql statements. With Oracle you can have more than one query per report,
with Crystal it's one query per report period. Other than the fact that it's
database neutral Crystal is one of the worst products I've ever seen. Try SQR
if you must use a different product.

Several times in the past I have seen folks on this list refer people to a
reporting product to use as an alternative to Crystal reports. Apparently I
didn't think I would need it, cause I usually save posts with information I
am likely to forget.(So Yeah, I do save a lot of posts) Well now Crystal is
being touted here as a possible solution for a new client's reporting
requirements. We have been unable to convince Oracle Reports to perform in
the way we would like, so we need an alternative. The good thing is that
the new client is a large one, so my company will actually be able to invest
in a nicer product.
