reports

Hi,
I'm developing a web application for a company. We are using asp.net and sql
server 2000.

Can someone tell me how to create a nice report? The user of the application
can fill in some choice on the web page and from the choice we want to make a
database question and then create the report.

Is it possible to create a word document?

Thanks a lot!

Hi, Julia,

It's possible to create Word document or whatever you want. But first of all
let's understand what you want to do. If you are asking about what type of
report to create so I can suggest to create simple HTML page - it's easy
'cos you are working with HTML already when developing ASP.NET application.
The user can just copy&paste HTML to Word.
But if you want to create Word document on your own - then i suggest to
create Word 2003 XML. The easiest way is to create some kind of template -
create a sample Word 2003 document, save it to XML and then use this XL to
fill with data.

Best regards,
Gaidar
