Report Engine

Does Report Services 2005 have a Report Distribution engine. So that I
can for instance say; I want user 'A' to get report 'B' in a format of
'C' at 17:05 every day.
Many thanks
DavidYes, it is called Subscriptions. You can specify all of that. It is
available both Standard and Enterprise. However, Enterprise adds data driven
subscriptions.
Here is from books online about data driven subscriptions:
>>>
A data-driven subscription provides a way to deliver reports to a list of
subscribers that is determined at run time. You can use data-driven
subscriptions as follows:
a.. Customize report output at run time for each recipient of a delivery.
b.. Support the wide distribution of a report with a fluctuating list of
subscribers. For example, you can use data-driven subscriptions to
distribute a report throughout a large organization where subscribers vary
from one month to the next, or use other criteria that determines group
membership from an existing set of users.
A data-driven subscription differs from a standard subscription in the way
it gets subscription information. A data-driven subscription gets some
settings from a data source at run time, and other settings from the
subscription definition. Fixed aspects of a data-driven subscription include
the report that is delivered, the delivery extension, connection information
to an external data source that contains subscriber data, and a query that
retrieves subscription information. Dynamic settings of the subscription are
obtained from the query, including a subscriber list and user-specific
delivery extension preferences or parameter values. This data is retrieved
from a data source each time the subscription is processed.
