My reporting work is not yet finished, but I have at least managed to get it out to a few people for testing. The reports themselves need the most work, and then some documentation is needed. When I first made up the install program I used the incorrect registration code inside the install. This allowed the program to install, but then would return an error about keycodedev2.dll. There are two numbers supplied when you register Crystal Reports. One is a number, and the other contains numbers and letters. It is tha latter that you need to use. Unfortunately this needs to be manually entered in each application when you create the install program setup.

One of the things that I now want to do is create a back end reporting engine where reports are emailed each morning telling clients what they want to know. I just need to check the license conditions to make sure that this is legal. This will require more WebService work but I think clients will really really love the functionality! If they can be emailed a report each week saying how far their employees have driven then I think that they will be really impressed.

The SMH today has a report on Green Day and how they have saved their band with their latest CD and DVD. I found it interesting to read about some of the internal issues the band was having thanks to the success of previous albums. Good read. Enough from me… There is work to be done, and I guess I am the one to do it!
