3)Reporting.
I think I can get by with HTML reports for the most part. however checks
and tax forms require precisely positioned reporting abilities.
I think that I will be better off using an external reporting
application (crystal,access,FoxPro etc) to generate these reports. But if
I do that
then I'm sure I'll have to duplicate some of my coding efforts, since
there is no way to achieve interop between these languages. Is there anyway
to minimize the need to duplicate code?
Perhaps expose your report data as xml or even an xml service then your report writer can parse it or just use an xslt stylesheet to present the xml data. Just an idea
