Q: 

Building reports from an XML data sources

I'm looking for a graphically oriented D&D type tool/utility that can be used to build ad hoc reports from data contained in XML data files. The users are technical, but not developers -- so XSLT is right out...

Eclipse' BIRT does this kind of thing, but something more lightweight is preferred.

Hi,

just some basic list of (commercial) tools which you could have a look at:

  • Attached XML schema in MS Word
  • Microsoft InfoPath
  • Windward Reports (also MS Word based)
  • Altova Stylevision

Best regards, divo
