Reports for WAP devices?

I have been using RS for a few months and I want to start sharing
reports over my wireless network using handheld devices.
Is there anything I need to do?Actually I meant to say Pocket PC. Sorry for the confusion, but I'm
wanting to view reports on a Pocket PC. Is RS capable of doing this?|||RS can export reports in HTML3.2 format, which Pocket IE should be able to
display.

Look into URL access to directly render reports to HTML3.2:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/RSPROG/htm/rsp_prog_urlaccess_31wn.asp
However, you may need to specifically design the report to look nice in
HTML3.2 and some features are not available through the HTML3.2 output.

that might not work in pocket IE.
Other than rendering as 3.2, are there any limits as to parameters or
selecting subscriptions?
Thanks for your reply.|||As indicated in the first MSDN link of my previous posting, HTML 3.2 output
does not use any scripting (and therefore e.g. some interactivity features
won't be usable in HTML3.2). Parameters should work the same way (unless
there are limits imposed by Pocket IE).
I don't think the subscription wizard pages of report manager would work at
all in Pocket IE because they use Javascript.

parameters or not, it does not display anything below the subscription
line. You can navigate the home page and in and out of folders, but
the reports do not display.
I guess this is a pocket IE issue?|||It sounds like you are trying to view the report through report manager. Try
to access the reports directly through URL access or through the
http://servername/reportserver virtual root instead of report manager.

directly into report manager.
Works like a charm! Or as good as can be expected in Pocked IE
