In response to your requests, I have opened the LawsonGuru Store, where you can purchase Crystal Reports for use with your Lawson applications. I'm still building up the inventory, but some popular reports are now available. I've kept the prices pretty low; you'll be getting high-quality reports for less than you'd pay for a couple of hours of consulting. |

Any ideas on how to stop this?
