External Report Package

We run SO and HQ 1.3r - I understand the Crystal Reports is an external "package" that's compatible for report creation/generation. Are there any other packages that can be recommended to create additional reports for use with RMS?

RMS is built on SQL Server. pretty much any reporting tool in the world can be used to create reports from a SQL Server Database (Using an ODBC connection if nothing else).

Some possibilities would be: MS Access MS Excel SQL Server reporting services (You would need to be on a full version of SQL Server or SQL 2005 Express - MSDE won't work), a web site using scripting technology (ASP, ASP.Net, PHP

The hard part is not getting access to the DB, it's figuring out what you really want to report on. Unfortunately, MS has never been forthcoming with a data dictionary, so there's a lot of trial & error in figuring out the database.
