Mark, You might want to consider our Informer Web Reporting Software. It is designed to make reporting from MV databases intuitive and easy. A few features that might be important to your client are: - It has a friendly and intuitive Web / browser client interface. - It accesses the data directly off of the U2 database using UniObjects. - It handles MV's beautifully, both in the selection and display. - Reports can be easily dropped into Excel, PDF, or an email. - It utilizes a Meta table for referencing the dictionaries that provides for a crisp friendly view of the fields. It also facilitates dynamic file joins. - It includes user / role security in controlling the access to Informer functions and to secure data.
