MS Office doesn't include a reporting tool.

"Do you use most" or somethingl ike that? AFAIK, we can't do
multiple-choice surveys... Unless you plan to fix that while you're at
it :-)

Uh, you can use Access as a reportig tool to any ODBC database, can't
you? Not a very good one, but you can create reports...

You can use Excel as well, but it doesn't make it a reporting tool like
Crystal for example.

Well, if the definition of "reporting tool" is "impossible to package
for automated installations, and impossible to use unless all your users
are administrators on their machines", no it's not ;-)
But seriously. Crystal comes in two flavours, I think? One client based
(that sucks beyond recognition, and can be compared to access) and one
server based (that I don't know the suckage factor of, but that I guess
you're referring to).
If it was an actual scientific survey, we'd need to clearly specify if
we were talking about server or client or hybrid products. In this case,
I really don't think it matters that much :-)

Yeah, there is a now a server based version but I've never used it. The
client version is slightly strange I grant you, but is actually very
powerful when you get the hang of it.

Oh, I hope it's good from a developer perspective, since so many ppl use
it.
It's a complete nightmare from a sysadmin perspective (in a larger
environment), though. Especialliy when you have to deal with a lot of
incompatible different versions (heard of DLL hell? This is a lot
worse..)

*hahaha* if "so many ppl use it" would be sufficient as a quality
indicator, then mySQL would be the best database in the world .-)

It would be up to the voters to determine what they consider to be a reporting
tool in their minds.

We have to draw the line somewhere - we only have 8 (iirc) option slots to use.

Yet I bet a lot of people use it as such (I uses it as an easy way to
generate graphs).
