How to print external documents with SSRS Report.
Hello, Wehave a requirement that on some reports, like details on a specific inventory item,we need to print with the report and external attachment like a word document, and auto cad drawing, or a picture. Some of the ideaswe are thinking of are: adding the links to the external documents in a report parameter and then, when the report is about to be printed, get the values and send the documents to the print queue just after we send the report to the print queue. Creating a custom control on the report to somehow stream the file to the print queue when the report is printed. Render the report to a pdf and programmatically send the pdf and other attachments to the report queue. Does anyone have any thoughts on this or, even better, some code that meets the requirements. Thank you, Paul

Hello Paul, My $.02 for what it is worth. I have not run into the problem you describe, but your option #3 would probably be the easiest to implement and is the cleanest. Larry

IF you develop a solution, I'd like to know. Need this ability also on many projects.
