Hello, i am struggling with trying to produce some reports in Excel to share with other users in the organisation. I can make an Excel report on my pc that uses MS Query & all is fine, if i save this on the network & then try to run this from a different pc i get a select error on the table's.

From investigation i believe it is because i have the SQL Role sysadmin, but the other Nav users just have the SQL Role Public - does this sound correct?

I have tried with a simple based on Opportunity & Opportunity Entry tables to look at Open Opportunities as i was hoping to create a pivot chart/Dashboard report for the senior management.

I know about Jet Express, but was not looking at putting this on users systems, i just wanted to create a couple of simple reports, what do other companies do? Do they use MS Query?

    Just curios, why do you say that you don't want to use Jet Express, it's free and takes less than 10 min. to install?

    @claus - I said that i did not want to install Jet Express on every users systems, i just want to give them the ability to refresh there own reports, Jet Express does not give that option, unles it is installed? Also, no other users have Classic installed, which is what Jet Express requires, so that is definatly more than 10mins per user which i wanted to avoid.
