looking for a managed reporting tool

[Bob]

I want to dump Crystal, one of the many reasons being that it requires a
client-side installation. I'm looking for a reporting package that
integrates into DotNet yet has absolutely no COM in it, so I can deploy my
app with just a file copy. I also need the report designer to be stand alone
like Crystal, so designing reports does not have to be done through the IDE.

Also on my list of wants that Crystal does not deliver:
- No server-side caching or other unnecessary funny business when reporting
from stored procedures
- Tolerance of a read-only SQL login
- WYSIWYG
- Ability to view 11x17 reports without having to have a printer installed
that takes that size paper

Any recommendations?

TIA,
Bob

Hi!
Give a look to my little reporting tool, it does not powerful as CR (it's
just starting in these days) but I think it respond to your requests of this
posts (and it's free!).
Others improvements will come soon (And I'll appreciate all the suggestions).
