You should look at what Michael Guterman has done at (

excellent examples of what can be done with web access.

There are many PC reporting products including Cognos Impromptu, Crystal
Reports and MS Access that provide ODBC interfaces that can be handled by
either ODBCLink/SE (part of Image/SQL) or DataExpress/ODBCLink.  We have
found them all to be easy to use and they certainly provide a range of
features for both the novice and the heads down developer types.
