Crystal Reports options

[Dunc]

Firstly, sorry for the slight off-topic - not sure where else to post
this.

I'm using Crystal Reports 10 that came with Visaul Studio to generate
reports for my ASP.NET website, and I find it cumbersome and buggy.
I'm considering either upgrading to the latest version (Crystal
Reports 2008) or abandoning Crystal altogether.

Question is this: is CR2008 better, faster and more stable than CR10
or is there a far better reporting solution out there that someone
could recommend that wouldn't require massive effort to port to?

One way to get CR to be slightly more reliable is to adopt the PUSH method,
instead of the PULL method.

.........

Treat CR as a "presentation layer ONLY", and don't spaghetti it up with the
PULL method.

.........

Having said that, I don't like CR at all. I abandoned it a while back.
Luckily, because I had coded all reports using the PUSH method (using a
strong dataset), converting to another reporting tool (Active Reports) was
not brutal.
