I do see that someone posed the question 4 years ago to this very day.

However, a lot could have happened in the last 4 years, so I will leave the question open.

It is too bad this question wasn't asked in the REPORTING forum.  There you probably would have gotten a discussion of many other reporting systems including MS SRS.

While I agree with much of what was stated in the answer, the comments in some instances only apply to the version that comes with VS.  For instance with the ful version of Crystal there is a library and API that allows you to actually build your own report writing tool and give the user a full GUI to build a report.

Also if you build a report using formulas for the fields, you can change the formulas from code and allow the user to select the fields.  You can change may attributes of a field from code.
