That formatted text must print on a report for their client. Can I store and then print formatted text (HTML or otherwise) within reporting services?They would also like the option of printing without previewing the report. Is this possible with reporting services?Thanks,Stacey" |

| The latest word I received was that there is no way to display formatted text (RTF, HTML, etc.) in Reporting Services at this time, and it is not expected in RS 2005 either. I guess we'll have to wait for the infamous Version 3 to get that. So if it is a fixed requirement, you'll need to go with another tool. You might want to consider a custom .NET application to display the report info.As for "printing without previewing" can you be more specific as to what you're looking for? Are you using the Report Manager and want to click on a link to send straight to a printer instead of viewing it first? Or do you mean in viewing, you then want to print directly without exporting to another format? Or are you looking at the options from the Report Designer, not the actual report manager?---------------------------EmeraldCityDomains.com |

| Sorry for the delay in getting back to you. We do have a requirement to get the formatted text into PDF, so I've been stuck in custom control he11.For the printing without preview we would most likely have a custom interface to establish any required filters and then the user would like it to go directly to printer without viewing the report first. |
