As one of the developer support techs for ActiveReports 2.0 and ActiveReports for .NET I'd like to answer some of the incorrect information in some of the reviews I have seen here - The Rich Text Box control supports RTF in the 1.0 or wordpad spec (and will handle word wrap functionality). There is also a function to help keep the control on one page called KeepTogether - which is included with most of the controls we have to put on the report surface. Regarding the Excel export - the basic excel export does it's best to mimic the data from the report, however if you need more control you can use the SpreadBuilder option that will allow you to build your own excel document. Regarding the pricing - The major difference between us and other reporting component vendors is our pricing model, which is developer based. (Meaning, if you are an independent developer you only need to buy one license, then you can use the product for any of your customers that you produce reports for). The only time there would be an additional cost that I can think of would be if your client gets access to the source code once the project is complete and you don't maintain it. In that case, your customer would have to buy a license for their own development purposes. However the alternative is per-client licensing, which can become very costly very quickly in all but the smallest reporting environments.
