Yeah, that's the problem. For some people that's no problem at all, but for probably the majority of us we need something that is easy like CatoBase. The idea of BOSI is great, but if it's beyond your ability then it's useless.
Personally, what I would really really like to see is all the best from the OOTP reports, CatoBase and BOSI all rolled into one that could be on your own computer or on the web. I'm hoping OOTP7 will do that, but if not I sure hope one of you guys can do it.
One thing I was thinking the other day is what if OOTP only generated reports that their info had changed since the previous generation? I imagine there are plenty where nothing has changed so why re-generate, re-upload and re-download them? That's kind of like with CatoBase where there's no need to generate the pages until you've imported all the years.
