Visual Basic and Reports question

I know earlier version of VB came with Cyrstal Reports. Is that still the case  If so I am sure that the Express editions will not include CR. If thats the case, which version do you have to buy to get reporting capabilities. I am converting an Alphasoftware database application to VB and need the ability to create some nice looking reports.

Thanks
AE

    You have to get Professional to get Crystal.  You can use SQL Reporting if you are using SQL Server and Standard Edition.  A solution I have been using is VSTO 2995, and writing the reports to go to Excel and Word.  It's pretty neet, and you might be able to get it to work with Standard.
