Regarding BIRT, I agree that BIRT is not the "typical" banded report writer where everything "must" be in one of the bands, however, BIRT does have banded report writer capabilities without using scripting. To get the bands (groups, headers, detail rows, footers, etc), you simply drop a Table or List control onto the report. In this way, you get the typical banded capabilities, plus the flexibility of the grid-like layout.<br /> <br /> Virgil Dodson<br /> <a href="http://www.birt-exchange.com" rel="nofollow">BIRT Exchange</a> Hi Kevin,

Maybe the platform will grow up but by now JasperServer or the upcoming SpaboBI v2.0 will be much more usable.<br /> <br /> Other OpenSource BI platforms are SpagoBI, EasyDe and OpenI (now in v2.0 alpha!).
