Crystal reports?

[Junior1544]

What are the advantages to using crystal reports over an aspx file that has the information needed??

Can I have it open in it's own window(and or invisible), print automaticly? close when that's done??

I ask those specific questions because those are problems I'm having currently with using an aspx file for a specific report I've got to run.

Any information would be welcome though!

Thanks a bunch.

James,

With Crystal Reports you can format the data using the Report Designer interface, which will allows you to position and group items in a way that is often preferred over html. You can also export to pdf or xls using just a few lines of code.

As far as opening in it's own window and printing automatically you will still need to write the code to do that.
