you can export a crosstab report to a file? If so, a reporting tool is
probably the best general solution (MSSQL Reporting Services, Business
Objects etc), but you could create your own qrosstab queries:

To export the results to a file, you could use osql.exe, bcp.exe or
DTS.
Simon|||Here's an example:
CREATE TABLE foo (foo_key INTEGER PRIMARY KEY, x INTEGER NOT NULL, y
INTEGER NOT NULL, z INTEGER NOT NULL) ;
INSERT INTO foo (foo_key, x, y, z)
SELECT 1,10,11,12 UNION ALL
SELECT 2,20,21,22 UNION ALL
SELECT 3,30,31,32 ;
SELECT foo_key, x, y, z
FROM foo ;
SELECT 'x' AS col,
MAX(CASE WHEN foo_key = 1 THEN x END) AS row1,
MAX(CASE WHEN foo_key = 2 THEN x END) AS row2,
MAX(CASE WHEN foo_key = 3 THEN x END) AS row3
FROM foo
UNION ALL
SELECT 'y',
MAX(CASE WHEN foo_key = 1 THEN y END),
MAX(CASE WHEN foo_key = 2 THEN y END),
MAX(CASE WHEN foo_key = 3 THEN y END)
FROM foo
UNION ALL
SELECT 'z',
MAX(CASE WHEN foo_key = 1 THEN z END),
MAX(CASE WHEN foo_key = 2 THEN z END),
MAX(CASE WHEN foo_key = 3 THEN z END)
FROM foo ;
