there's a fairly large amount of different situations for that one phrase "report generation"

In reality all report generation is and can be is a series of SQL executes in ASP to gather data from multiple tables, and or databases and then you simply format it the way you want on the criteria of the report to generate. I'm sure there is some examples out there for generating a report but that statement isn't really sound.
What you need to do is start off with SQL tutorials and how you can gather data using ASP.
There's your report data rate there. Then simple HTML to format it.

On the other side of the tracks however you have graphing for reports. Hmm... this is a operation of code in itself when you get fancy.

here are two links for you to look over on both discussions

{ str = "sleep is good for you. sleep gives you the energy you need to function";
ptr = /sleep/gi;Nstr = str.replace(ptr,"coffee"alert(Nstr); }
