Re: Feedback about BrioOne Report

[Clara Carter <sqr_princess@YAHOO.COM>]

I ditto this response. I have been using it for 7
 years and have enjoyed every minute of it because
 I have always been able to give my clients what
they wanted (unlike crystal reports). 6.0 has lots
of improvements especially now that they rendure
html output. The builder I am not to thrilled with.
I prefer the old one (was it called reportmate or
something like that). I have talked to Brio about
 having it changed to some of it;s old ways and
lets see what happens. Their support is great.
Their consultants are excellent too. And repeat here
about this support group. What else can I say, it has
kept me employed for a long time and I love it.
