I've implemented systems like that, using SQL Server and Crystal Reports,
but there is a chunk of development work.  Enough to justify getting that
license.

Sorry not to be of more help

Subject: Reporting Software

Hi all,
For the last several years our library/archives has used an Intuit (the
Quicken people) database product called Quickbase to document all of our
reference requests. The system in an on-line database. We liked the system,
because it is extremely easy to generate slick-looking
graphical/tabular/etc. reports on our activities, which we can present to
senior management. Unfortunately, our IM/T staff has decided that the
information we need to include in the database must be maintained on our
local servers and cannot "live" on an outside system. I spoke with Quickbase
about purchasing a local license, but it is way too expense ($20k-plus).
Can anyone recommend a system they use to track and report on reference
activity? We already use Access for a few applications, but we would like
something that is a little more flexible. Thanks in advance.
