G'day Marc.

Yes, I have used CRW with a number of ODBC drivers including PostgerSQL.

In general, it works very well. I have bought but not installed V7 and it 
promises to address the last outstanding problems that I have had - mainly in 
the area of complicated SELECT clauses, distribution of reports to other 
users and limitations on the use of "memo fields" in functions.

I have used the stand-alone report interface and the API interface and have 
been able to achieve everything that I have needed (sometimes quite complex).

Did you have any particular need in mind?

Cheers,
Stephen
