  Hi,

  I'm interesting to know if anyone has used SSRS 2008 or superior to create complex

  formatted report in order to reproduce formatted and compiled invoice or bill or form to pay fe to a postal office.

  The complexity is mainly due to create the pre-formatted and accurate layout with graphic elements, vertical

  and horizontal label, static data and dynamic data, etc.

  I'm interesting to read some blogs and/or articles about this subject and/or to see some downloadable

  examples.

  Thanks

  This is pretty much what reporting solutions like crystal reports and reporting services were designed to do. It's not complicated.

  I highly recommend Jessica Moss's stairway to SSRS as an introduction to creating reports.

  MSDN codeplex has plenty of sample reports[/url] that run off Microsoft's sample database "Adventureworks".

  You can get a dev copy of SQL Server very cheap, download and attach the adventureworks database and run these sample reports.
