There you go, Oskar you have two options try. One thing about Crystal
reports it uses ODBC to connect to the database, also it's designed to make
a business sense so your users since they are doctors might find it more
useful. I'm quit sure it costs allot less then Oracle products, don't get
more wrong I'll take oracle product over others but sometimes you must think
about your
customers and what is the most effective method of delivery.



Cheers,

Hi Oskar,

	I'm afraid I don't know how much does it cost; but you can check
otn.oracle.com. There you can download a full featured trial version of
REPORTS. It is included in the "ORACLE 9i Developer Suite", a rich & wide
collection of development tools from ORACLE. There is also a lot of info
about the tool.

Have a nice day!
