No problems with instalation, lightweght aplication, intelligent maps, 3D charts and I didn't noticed problems with HTML slowdown. The Analyzer is described as 100% zero-footprint browser so it migh be good choice. I must admit that I only tried ev. version but it has full functionality limited only to number of reports.

To continue the pickiness started by Ian: it should be “in front of” instead of “after” – that’s why the VB constant is called vbCRLF and not vbLFCR :)

So: “Therefore we do not need to worry about adding a Carriage Return (CHAR(13)) in front of CHAR(10) in SSRS.”

They rarely answer and the ticketing system and not even their phones. Even with such a low price, they should support their controls better. Does anyone had such a problem?
