Firstly, is this subforum purely for "Crystal Reports, Access and Data Report Designer" or are other options welcome?
I noticed that there was an Open Source RDL-based reporting option called FyiReporting, which appeals to me as a simple and Open option.
Although FyiReporting apears to be dormant since 2009, it has been 'forked' a number of times.
http://www.fyireporting.com/ - forum continues as best place to discuss forks?
Does anyone have any experience of these, comments or advice about going down that path? And where would be the best places to ask questions to that little open source 'community' of Devs? I tried to register on the fyireporting.com forum but haven't been accepted by the moderator.
As so often happens, Open Source projects let themselves down by appearing to be dormant (have a homepage with updates if nothing has happened for a few months!) or appearing to be a poor choice due to lack of support options - no active forums to ask for help.
Forks ...
It can be real detective work trying to figure out what's worth using!
