I've not used reporting services yet. What's it like? What's it best used for? RAD? Hard to configure? Slow?
I used Crystal Reports for many years and that was horrible to develop with.

Ahhhhhhh crystal reports ahhhhhhhhhhh dont say those words!
If you are used to .net, vb, etc...and microsoft products and such then you should have no problems.
Especially if you are accustomed to access reporting. It's mainly just setting a bunch of properties. There
are no event handling functions in rs like there was in access. But you can still write code against the report.
I think it has been really easy, or should I say it flows easily, I think although there are some quirks development
is pretty straightforward. You can easily write up some advanced reports in no time.
