Crystal Reports  

Crystal Reports ActiveX Designer Overview

Use the Crystal Reports ActiveX Designer to define the report's data source, to select and group the data records you want to use, and to format the report's objects and layout. You can create a report from scratch or you can use one of the Crystal Reports Creation Wizards to help you through the design process.

The Crystal Reports ActiveX Designer uses a drag-and-drop approach similar to Rational Application Developer.
