Hi, I just read your white paper..."SQL Server Reporting Services and Crystal Reports: A Competitive Analysis". I was wondering if you used SSRS in the Visual Studio 2005 version yet, and if so, if you knew of any advancements in SSRS since you authored the white paper.

My company is wanting to see if it would be beneficial to instead try SSRS. From your white paper, I think Crystal is still the way to go. I foresee a lot of problems not only in design, but in licensing and such for our clients if we switch.

Thanks for any assistance

Unfortunately, I haven't used SQL Server Reporting Services in Visual Studio 2005 yet. I've had a lot of emails asking me to update the white paper, but my free time is very limited until I finish my new Crystal Reports books.

No problem, I appreciate it.
