generating report in web form

i would like to ask if using the Render() function is the ONLY way to get the
report in the web?(exclude the url access)
how about SOAP? how to use SOAP to generating report in web?
by the way, is render() a method which comes from SOAP?
i am confuse about it...please help
thanks in advanceHi Jason:
Render is part of the web service (aka SOAP) API.
There are other methods you can come up with to get a report to the
web. For instance, you could set up a report subscription and have the
report delivered to a network share. A web site could map to the same
network share and make the reports available.

thanks you very much for helping me...i have make a web reference to the
reportservice.asmx...like the online book said...does it mean that i am
already using SOAP?
mmm i think for the method you mentioned i think thats more or less the same
as URL access right? i think that may not be useful for me cos i would like
to have report like invoice with a partiular number chosen by the user.
So...constant delivery may not be useful(subscription is set in the report
server right?)
once again...ths for helping....

Yes - if you have a web reference you are already using SOAP.
It doesn't sound as if having a report delivered would fit what you
need to do.
