fix

Directory and Resource Administrator (DRA) does not have a version of the Reporting Tool that uses SQL Server on the back end.

Porting the Access reporting DB to SQL will fail as SQL will convert the tables properly but the import routines are not supported in SQL.  One could link the Access tables to a SQL DB and use the import routines in Access to build the tables, however this has not been tested and is currently unsupported.

An Enhancement Request has been opened with Development to include this functionality in a future version of Directory and Resource Administrator.
