    Reporting options question

    I have an app( vb .net 2.0) that I am about to get into the reporting
    portion, the app has an access 2007 db, and have logo file stored in a
    directory on the computer (to save space in the database). I want to be able
    to show the logos at the top of the report. Depending on the options selected
    I want to be able to color code the report (text, boxes and lines…).

    IT seems that I have to reports to choose from, Crystal, vb built in
    reporting, last was to make my own.

    I need to be able to customize the report for color code print logos on the
    report.

    What do you all think on the options of doing:

    Crystal report – doesn’t seem like I can dynamically change a picture
    objection the report and I keep running into logon error.

    Vb built in report – it doesn’t seem as easy to customize an in vb6, I can’t
    seem to write any code and use my on connection string with data sets.

    Building my own report – I am just wandering if it is work building your own
    reports, making a form to show the data, then having to print or print
    preview it.

    I am kind of at a decision point and wanted to see what some of you thought
    or have experience with some of the options?
