MetaReport

MetaReport is a remarkable report building tool that allows you to create reports utilizing multiple data sources of various formats, such as Access, dBase, Paradox, MS SQL, Oracle, InterBase, and many more. This software is highly useful for individuals who are involved in the database management field, as most companies use different databases (Access for office, SQL for web, and Oracle for inventory tracking).

The program offers several advantages to all its users. Firstly, the program uses ADO (ActiveX Data Objects) and BDE (Borland Database Engine) to build reports, but it does not require you to have BDE already installed on your device. Secondly, the program can be utilized inside third-party applications as a built-in ActiveX object, which is the only software in its class that offers this feature. Thirdly, various data parameters can be specified without having to change the report itself.

With MetaReport, the program owner can select from several popular report formats - from simple TXT or CSV to WMF, XLS, HTML, RTF, and PDF. This means that reports built with MetaReport can be easily processed later in Excel or other applications, placed on the web, emailed, or made a part of a presentation. The report building process is straightforward and based on a visual report builder module that makes it very easy for users to understand and implement.

Report templates in MetaReport can be saved and locked to prevent anyone from making any unauthorized changes. All in all, MetaReport is a highly affordable solution that offers exceptional value and functionality making it an ideal choice for anyone seeking a budget-friendly software for report building purposes.
