It has potential, but the tool is not there yet: Missing features, comments on ActiveReports for .NET: - The RichText component does not have a WordWrap option - The RichText component does not have an option to keep the field together on the same page - Export to excel is very awkward, too many columns are genererated / and/or the cell merging is wrong. Syncfusion does a much better job here. - The GUI reporter does not show how a datasource can be bound to the report (it's manual coding)
