I use Visual Studio since we move to Pervasive V10
I create executables that connect to Pervasive using ADO.net
the exe query the data and export the report to a folder as a PDF and opens it
Imports Pervasive.Data.SqlClient
Module mapp
Public Const erp_db As String = "Server Name=192.168.0.4;Database Name=MYDBA;"
End Module
The Report Tool is quite good, in my opinion better than crystal
