Business objects is not a Microsoft product. &nbsp; Although Microsoft has been know to bundle their products in with their own products.<br />
Business Object is their own company that creates the Crystal Reports software that you are looking for.<br />
<br />
Goto <a href="http://www.businessobjects.com/product/catalog/crystalreports" rel="ugc">http://www.businessobjects.com/product/catalog/crystalreports</a>&nbsp; &nbsp;I think that would be a good place to start your research on Crystal Reports.<br />

Hi<br />
<br />
I may be starting to work with MS Business objects for our reporting purposes.<br />
<br />
If I want to start investigating the product (we have sql 2005 but do not appear to have business objects?) where am I best to start? I know absolutely nothing about the product at all!<br />
Cheers

SQL SERVER 2005

A database report is the formatted result of database queries and contains useful data for decision-making and analysis. Most good business applications contain a built-in reporting tool; this is simply a front-end interface that calls or runs back-end database queries that are formatted for easy application usage.

DB Reporting Tools

Microsoft SQL Server 2005 is a suite of relational database management system (RDBMS) products providing multi-user database access functionality.Component services include integration (SSIS), reporting (SSRS), analysis (SSAS), data quality, master data, T-SQL and performance tuning. It includes support for managing XML data and allows a database server to be exposed over web services using Tabular Data Stream (TDS) packets encapsulated within SOAP (protocol) requests.
