Reports, lists, crosstabs
, including multi-tables, master detail / sub-reports and combinations with all other object types, e.g. charts in tables.
Charts
, solo and combined with reports.
Forms and file cards:
exact results achieved, for instance, by using scanned originals in the background.

Component? DLL?
You are free to choose! Quickly integrate one of the components .NET, VCL or ActiveX, or enjoy pure flexibility by using the DLL.
Data Binding
.NET
You have the free choice of data access object. Whether DataSet, DataViewManager, DataReader, DataTable or even arbitrary enumerations, you can add data quickly and easily to List & Label. DataRelations between tables are automatically analyzed and transferred. The excellent online help assists you during the development process.

VCL
Whether ADO recordset or BDE, each descendant of DataSource can be easily added. Master-detail relations are automatically analyzed and passed accordingly.
Database Independent
Using List & Label with data binding is definitely the fastest, but the database independent use offers a lot of advantages too!
Direct exchange of data. You are completely free from any particular database format. You control the exchange of data and create the interface.
Flexibility and speed. No database engine is loaded twice. Moreover, there is no need for a database.
Several databases – one report. This aspect saves much time and your application can be equipped universally without further development effort. SQL Server, Sybase, Access etc. with just one project file!
Stability. Your reports will remain functional even if a field is added to the database.
Slim redistribution. Since there is no need for the database engine to be installed by the end user, redistribution is simple and the file package is extremely small, starting at 15 MB!
