I need to generate multiple separate Word documents from one table-valued function call.

The function is located on a SQL Server 2008R2 server, and I have Visual Studio 2008 with SP1, Visual Studio 2010, and Business Intelligence Design Studio (BIDS).

So far, I can pretty easily get this setup to show me a nice Word document in the “preview” view of the report’s designer.

What I need is to generate a separate Word document for each row of data in the report. The document is about 5 pages long, and – as usual – I am very pressed for time. I do not want to go the XML/XSLT route with custom C#/VB code unless I have to. Does anyone know if there is a relatively simple way to tell the report designer in BIDS to generate a different document for each row of data in the dataset? If so, do you also happen to know how I might apply a naming convention to the generated documents?

Thank you very much!!!

    In full SSRS with a Report Manager or SharePoint portal this is called “Data Driven Subscriptions” ref:

    It sounds like you are building a ReportViewer solution, in which case you are pretty much on your own. You probably need to add a parameter to your report to get “a copy” of 5 pages from each execution, and then loop through the required executions in your code.

    Good luck!
