Win32: Reporting technology that doesn't have to be installed or shipped

Question

i'm looking for a reporting engine to replace Delphi 5's QuickReports.

Requirements

• free (i'm not paying to find out if it works)
• open source (documentation is always lacking)
• does not have to be registered on the client computer (no COM) (single executable depoyment)
• does not ship as a seaparate file (no dll) (single executable deployment)

Some things i've looked at:

• mshtml
• crystal
• nevrona rave

Answer 1

try free-report,

FreeReport 2.3 consists of a report engine, a designer, and a previewer. Its capabilities are comparable to QuickReport3 and ReportBuilder 3.52. FreeReport 2.3 works with Delphi 2/3/4/5/6/7/2005 and 2006 and C++ Builder 1/3/4/2005/2006. Freeware; royalty-free full source code.
