What about the open source ReportLab? You might still want to look at Dabo, it has a report generator built on ReportLab that adds some database integration.

Currently I have some crystal reports, some dozen excel tables with simple or complicated database queries and some delphi programs with some grids and sometimes with charts. All of these 'reports' and it's contents are managed by the IT department. My dream to have a central repository of database reports, organized based on the workflow and controlled by the controlling department. The distribution can be made by filesystem level (each report a separate file), or by application level (the report manager shows a tree with the accessible reports). The candidates are till now: crystal report server ms reporting services commercial reportlab Yours sincerely, __ János Juhász ___ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor

I'm not sure I understand your requirements. Do you want a way for a dozen users to be able to create reports from a database, where they select some parameters and create the report on demand? Dabo might be useful for that: http://dabodev.com/ The docs are kind of sparse, I think the screencasts are the best way to get started. I haven't used this myself but I know some people like it a lot. Kent ___ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
