I have used reportman with Access, SQLite, SQL Server, MySQL, Firebird and Cheetah and found it to be very good.

The only thing I found to be an issue when using it with SQLite is on the data security front, but that is an SQLite issue and not reportman.

With regards to SQLitening:
I think I am right in saying you will need to use the SQLite odbc driver with reportman which means you have to bypass SQLitening.

I don't suppose anyone has any tips to help me connect this to a CSV file (or any other delimited text file)?  I tried for a couple hours yesterday to do this to no avail.

Have you tried creating an odbc datasource for the csv file and then use the DAO option in reportman?
Many Thanks

Thanks for the idea.  Just did some searching for it in the ODBC data sources, and found nothing.

I just Googled the topic, and unfortunately it appears that ODBC drivers for text files may have been removed in Windows 7:
