I am a new member to the RCAAM list. We are working on creating a new
database platform this year with a software development team. I've been
researching and have found that a majority of museums integrate Crystal
Reports with their database systems. Can anyone help clarify the uses
and advantages of Crystal Reports? Due to the fact that we work at
Microsoft, we cannot use third party software; however Microsoft does
have a similar product. Any help you can provide would be greatly
appreciated. 

 

Thank you again!
