Complete Newbie Question

I have just installed Reporting Services and created a few reports that
I want to run in a web page - that seems easy enough to do but my boss
has asked me to provide a batch reporting solution.
He wants users to be able to request a report and the request be
written away to a sql db. I have a windows service that picks up all
new requests and fires up some .exe's depending on what sort of request
it is e.g password reset , password reminder etc..
When the reports are run I need them to be saved as PDF's into a
specific folder that can be accessed later from a web page.
Now all this is written and working using ActiveReports for .NET but we
hate that package and want to use sql reporting services. Can it be
done in sql reporting services and if so how do I do it - I mean I need
some real code examples
any help would be brilliant
cheers
JimI have been using log4net to log to SQL DB. You can log the web request when
reports are rendered. It is upto you to write the logic to who views the
page( for eg using session object who the user was like,
Session["UserName"]). log4net allows you to log when certain events are
triggered blah blah... Check out:

Look for ADONETAppender which is what you want.
