Choose Cognos at you r own peril, the product set is disjointed and requires IT skills to use. Take a lok at BusinessObjects a more complete and compact solution that which can empower the business to build reports and adhoc queires. Cognos does have better olap support but thats about it !!

You can if you really want to. Its a bit of a frig using a table as BO does not support charts. Heres what you do. Create a column with the definition = fill("g",Name of Measure) You should get a number of 'g's represented in the cell. If you then format this cell using the...

you can use values entered as prompts using the UserPresponse() function but you can not use the filter values

ajmcgarry: I think you may need personnal connections not secured ones.

Dont see why not. You can define objects which call stored procedures, passing parameters. If you define the object and use the @Prompt function with the same text as the prompt in the report as the parameter to pass it should do the job. Could an object not just return the text description...
