Hi,

I want to create a report from the multiple tables on SQL server, what is the best way to do it, I have crystal report 11 installed on my development PC, the application is vb6.

Should I built the views in the database first, then just use crystal to format whatever I want. or should I create temp tables for reporting purpose?

What is the normal / good way to do?

The data need to extract from five different tables with relationaship.

Thanks!

Some people will say to use a view, others will say just use a query.

Alternatively you can create procedure and have it as CR's datasource
