Reports on custom objects in new Salesforce?

Hello,

I understood that plain text searching would not be available for custom objects in the next version of Salesforce.com. What I failed to understand and what will be critical (for us) is reporting on custom objects.

Will user's be able to generate reports based upon custom objects and their fields?

Thanks and Best Regards,

Unfortuanetly, you will not be able to report on custom objects via the reporting interface in sforce 2.0; we are hard at work on implementing this and understand its important; possible work arounds include using Excel or other solutions to do manual reporting.

We will need this also, as an alternative the s-control object which draws the custom data objects could have a user interface element "export to Excel" button just like report pages do.

Now we just need a code sample of this type of button and we can include it in our s-controls.

If anyone has code samples for outputing a CSV file that the browser will understand and do the Save As thing, please on this board !
