Hi,
I used to work with Brio SQR reports, and I think Brio was bought out by Hyperion, so I think we may be talking about the same product.
I was using Brio SQR v5.5, which was a few years old and lacked some features offered by say JasperReports, but was ok.
The SQR language appeared to be a sort of yucky Basic'ish style, and I generally avoided looking at it whenever I could!
