What is the best practice for allowing end user's access to reports. We have several end users that want access to report writing. Have any of you run across this and if so, how did you handle it?

Hi
I have also been asked from customers about this opportunity to create reports, and still struggling with this regarding license issues. Enduser cannot have the role reporting.
I normally tell them,
- use chart/pie diagrams from within the system
- export to excel if you need other reporting
- change culomns in the list if you need other columns that shown
If that doesn't suit their needs I go this way:
User can ask administor / report_admin to create special and scheduled reports (not really optimal).
User can have access to data using any reporting tool and ODBC (not really user friendly)
Admin can export relevant data to a datawarehouse with reporting tools for endusers
best regards
