Reports Delivered Email On Demand

The business people at my office would like be able to generate emails with
the results of a SQL query attached as an excel spreadsheet on demand.
Please note that these queries take more than 30 seconds so any use needs to
be asynchronous. Iâ'd like to have the same functionality as email sent to
subscribers, but without creating a subscription. Is there a way to do this
in SQL Reporting Services? If not is there a good alternative?
Thanks for any help.Hello,
Based on my experience, you need to write your customer .net code to
generate the excel file and send it to the user.
Reporting Services has provide a Web Services Interface and you could use
this to render the report to Excel.
Then you could use the code to send the file to the customer.
Here are the articles about how to use Web Services to render the Report:
