Report Tools

Dear Friends,

Which will be the best report tool available to in cooperate with Lotus Notes. How about Crisral reports.

Hi Joseph,

as usual: it depends!

Crystal Reports is a good choice if you already use it. They helped Lotus to develop NotesSQL so they know their stuff well.

Intelliprint is another good choice.

However: well designed views mostly cover “reporting” needs. Once you reach the stage where you need a reporting tool in Notes, you might realize, that your design is missing something out (check my blog on a rant “Ban the reports”)

And you can brew up some reports using DXL and XSLT. So depening on the situation the standard tools will do!
