Hi all, I am making the transition from crystal to RS.
I am a crystal pro with about 6 years experience.
It is totally different, but yet very similar. Has anyone worked on both? If so, how are you finding the change?

cheers
Ian

Ive used Crystal on and off over the last 4 years, 2 years ago I tried the .Net variety of Crystal with web output. This year I tried RS.

I love RS, Im sure there are things I used to do with Crystal that Id find difficult with RS, but overall I prefer the RS environment and the ease of getting output in multiple environments.

The .Net Crystal I hated, the VS.Net designer was awful, Im sure I was doing it wrong but one report I had to delete and redo about a dozen times before it was right and it still looked rubbish.
