Hi, I'm using VS 2010 Express and creating a front end to a Access backend. I'm ok with manipulating the data in the tables and displaying this to forms so far, but I am looking for how you would go about reporting the data for printing etc. What options are there available? I've done loads of google searches but it feels confusing. Many talk of SQL Server Reporting (which I don't have) or Crystal Reports (but I'd rather have a free solution and I don't have the resource to buy VS2010 Pro).
I basically want to draw up report templates (they don't need to be rediculously fancy or interactive), much like I did with Access and store these in my app, and then define what records are displayed in code from my app.
Is this even possible? I'd of thought it would be very common, maybe people don't create hard copies of their data that much?
Thanks!
