Currently I have some crystal reports, some dozen excel tables with simple 
or complicated 
database queries and some delphi programs with some grids and sometimes 
with charts. 
All of these 'reports' and it's contents are managed by the IT department.
My dream to have a central repository of database reports, 
organized based on the workflow and controlled by the controlling 
department.
The distribution can be made by filesystem level (each report a separate 
file),
or by application level (the report manager shows a tree with the 
accessible reports).

The candidates are till now:
 crystal report server
 ms reporting services
 commercial reportlab



Yours sincerely,
