Hi, I started playing with reporting services, followed the first 3 lessons
int the walkthrough, I find it a very interesting tool.
When viewing a report in IE, we have the possibility to export to excel
file. I woudl like to do a dynamic report, let's say generated on the fly at
6 o'clock morning and send it by mail as attachment. Is it possible with
reportin g services? if yes, any good articles or tutorials somewhere
Thanks for your helpYes, this is possible. Look for subscriptions and scheduling in the BOL.
You can also start here with the How Tos:

I come across with the same situation as you mentioned in this post. Any
comment or idea you could provide? Could you share with me the
approaches/methods you taken for the task? Thanks a lot

generating excel file automatically every morning
Hi, I started playing with reporting services, followed the first 3 lessons

Thanks for your help
What do you mean by dynamic?
You can schedule a report to run by using the Subscriptions "tab."
You can drop the report on a file share or you can email it.
By the way, you might want to address future questions related to Reporting
Services to the reporting services newsgroup
microsoft.public.sqlserver.reportingsvcs

|||By dynamic I mean, the report is executed for example 5 times, each time a
where clause containing a different value in order to generate 5 different
reports(I have to send an email for each provider with product I have sold
belonging to him)
In the doc on line, I saw we can generate we can have 2 datasets, the result
in the main table can be changed according to a parameter.
Thanks for your help. Next question I will post to it to the appropriate group

Generating an audit trail in SQLS 2000
Hi,
Following on from a recent post regarding Identity fields with David Portas,
I was discussing a few issues with a collegue and an interesting issue was
raised.
Namely, creating an audit trail in which every row is assigned a unique,
gapless sequential reference. For example, our accountancy package (Sage)
has an audit trail in which every transaction has a numbered reference. Each
number is unique and there are no missing numbers. Obviously some
transactions are cancelled, others may not be assigned in exactly the order
that they were created, etc etc.
I'm just wondering how I would achieve such a thing in SQLS. From talking
with David Portas in my last thread I understand that IDENTITY is not the
way ot achieve this, but I'm curious as to how exactly to achieve this in a
multi-user concurrent environment?
For example, have a unique ID table in which numbers are assigned as they
are required - although I imagine that this would require extensive use of
transactions and locking...
Alternatively would be to have an ON INSERT trigger which simply assigns the
last row reference plus one to the reference field?
Any pointers / sites / etc?
I appreciate that this is a big vague but it's something that I can see
being very useful in the near future.
Any and all advice is gratefully received.

Chris.One possible solution is at

write. Sticking the next available ID in a one row table is good
performance wise. You only lock one very small table rather than the
table you are inserting data into.
The processes that will write can take their time because they have
their unique IDs already and so don't stop other writes reserving
their IDs. Also you can reserve 100 IDs very easily at no cost just by
adding 100.
But you will get gaps, after reserving ID if your write fails.
