• I have looked at Report Builder and run some demos.  The product is easy to use and the report model helps the user.  The problem is the user must be connected to SQL Server to use the report. 

    My goal in using Report Builder was to distribute data to the user with a limited function report writer.  For example, the last 12 financial statements for the divison of a company.  The user could export to Excel, select a month of data or select a group of accounts.  The user would probably install the report on a laptop computer.

    Currently, the solution to this problem remains Excel.
