I’m looking for some tool that can generate many document formats like Microsoft Excel, PDF, Microsoft Word, HTML. So, I decide to use Reporting Service of SQL Server 2008 Express. But I found that Reporting Service can’t export to Microsoft Word by itself. It need to use some component. Moreover, I can’t find any free component to doing this or It’s impossible?
Thanks,
I’m not sure what you mean by “Reporting Service can’t export to Microsoft Word by itself”.
Reporting Services 2008 can export to all of the formats you mentioned (Excel, PDF, Word and HTML), it’s one of its basic features. I’ve used this feature in both the express and full versions of SS2008.
