 Report Control VB6 - How to give users Adhoc designer

I have an application in VB5 which uses Crystal Reports. To give end users an
adhoc report facility I install Crystal on their PC and tell them to use that.

I am considering using the VB6 report design component and not Crystal in the
next (Vb6) version.

1. Is there a way to convert Crystal reports to VB6 report component?

2. How can I give users a report design capability if I dont use Crystal??

Thanks

If you're using Access as the database then let them create the report in
Access, you can then print from Access using VB.

ActiveReports from Data Dynamics makes a nice reporting tool that opens it's
object model for
design time or run time changes.  It also uses VB code behind events so
there is not a big learning curve.
You can create your own reporting "wizard" interface like the one in Access.
After using this product,
you will never go back to Crystal again.
