Does anyone know of any products out there that allow end users to control the layout and fields of a report without having to install any special software on their machine
You could also try ActiveReports by Data Dynamics - http://www.datadynamics.com/Products/ProductOverview.aspx Product=ARNET2. It integrates very smoothly with .NET programs, and all the DLLs can be redistributed for free (vs. Crystal where design components require a per-seat license). Not quite as slick as Crystal or Reporting Services, but the cost and flexibility make it worth looking into.
Hi Josh, I looked into ActiveReports and while it did look promising it seems the end-user designer only applies to WinForms. Thanks for the suggestion, though.

SQL 2000 + Panorama Enterprise Report Builder is another option.
