RE: Reporting Tools
I think most important names have been dropped in the thread. Cognos and BusinessObjects are big players in BI (and reporting).

RE: doh
Thanks for the reply. I totally agree with what you said but theres a political issue with the customer they are supposed to provide their own 1st line support.
