sql server reporting services:
you embed something like an "iframe" in a MS report? Thanks Jenny
Hello Jenny,
Based on my scope, GIS Map is not supported in reporting service currently. However, please rest assured your feedback on this is routed to the proper channel. Also, in SQL 2005, you could click "send feedback" button in toolbar to send your feedback to product team directly. Thanks.

You can do ad hoc reports with RS 2005 too.

Can you guys explain to me in general terms what would be the major
differences between Crystal Reports and Reporting Services? Thanks, Liliana
The major difference would be price. Web delivery of Crystal is wildly
expensive. I have not looked at the new end-user designer in RS2005, but from experience, designing a report in Crystal is easier for an end user. It is more powerfull with RS if you are a developper. I personnaly think the 2 complement each other. I use RS to develop reports used by everybody. The output is the gold standard. My users use a combination of Crystal and Excel to create ad-hoc reports.

Sort of. As I said, I've not had a good look at RS2005, but with RS2000, I
would not want to give users VS and you have to deploy to RS in order to print or export. We can argue a long time as to which is better for laying down a report, but for the fine finish work, layout, attributes and such, Crystal is still better in the hands of a user. Just try to explain the iif statement required to change the colour of a field depending on value, as opposed to a bunch of point and click. Don't get me wrong, I do think that RS is the way to go. But it's still a 'geek' interface.

Not so in 2005, they've added Data Views and models (which allow you to
create seperate user friendly related tables, naming conventions etc,.) and an ad hoc report builder that looks to be very user friendly. I yet have to expose our users to it but what I've done myself looks very easy and highly pre-configurable. Once users have made their own reports you can import these into the developer designer for refinement if you need to.

I just had a look at Report Builder. Yes it's a good step, but Crystal
it's not. I still think that both solutions have their place, and often alongside each other. Getting rid of one because you are using the other means sacrificing a lot. OTOH, if the Crystal licensing model for web deployment was not so expensive, I'd likely stick with that. MS has a big hit with RS. You can't argue with the price or the functionality. I agree that Report Builder is a good step towards moving some of the design work towards the users. While continuing to improve RS, MS should also start to develop a designer very much like Crystal and sell it. I'd pay for a few licenses of a full featured, user-friendly designer.
