Mailing Reports

Hi,
I am rendering a report in PDF Format when a user needs in my Web Form(on
click of a button)
When this report is rendered in PDF format, Is there a way to send him the
report by Email.
An Email has to be sent when a report is rendered by a particular user.
Is there an option for this...
Thanks

I was coming in to ask a similar question. I know what you want to do can be
done through subscriptions, and I have looked at the database table where
subscriptions are stored and I believe it would just be a matter of inserting
a onetime subscription line into the subscription table. But what I want to
know is there any resource out there taht tells you how to add lines to the
subscription table. I have been thinking of purchasing hitchhikers guide but
I am unsure if it is going to help me with anything I do not already know.

doing a one time subscription will work as well) but you might find this
easier. Save the PDF as a file and then send it using the following SMTP
client. This SMTP client requires no install of any mail client. You need to
have a SMTP server somewhere for this to work. It is very easy to use and is
widely used in the SQL Server community.

if you have been using URL integration then you need to learn how to use the
web services to accomplish this.

I am using the email provider available out of the box with reporting
services. I am on a flat network using 2 separated domains (resource and
user)and Routed IP schemes. The companies email is handled offsite using an
SMTP server that requires the user to login. There does not appear to be an
option to do this using the out of the box delivery method. And
unfortunately I do not know enough about setting up my own SMTP server
locally. I am trying to mail the reports from the resource domain to the
user domain.
