Can't use data driven subscriptions with sql server standard-need alternative

  • Hi,

    I was trying to set up data-driven subscriptions today. Then I

    found out we have sql server standard and the data driven subscription

    wizard link is grayed out. I was thinking that, since I know I can use

    a report viewer in .net to view ssrs reports, is there a way I could

    display a report, pass it parameters from an sql server table, and

    then email it to an email address also in the table?

    This is kludgey, I admit, but I can't use data driven

    subscriptions. I have seen two articles that describe a hack which

    allows you to find a report in the reporting database using the

    subject and then adding the email address to a very long ntext field

    by parsing it. It seems ingenious but a little clumsy and dangerous. I

    would like to avoid this.

    Any advice would be appreciated.

    Thanks,

    Neil

  • I know this is an old link, but is this one of the hacks you are talking about - Data Driven Subscriptions in SQL RS 2000 Standard.
