I am planning to generate 8 to 15 reports in sql server report server 2008.
I want to create the 8 to 15 separate sql server reports and tie them
together with a table of contents in a c#.net 2008. I then want to export
these reports into an electronic format to email to users.

Can you give me suggestions on how to accomplish this task?

How about writing your reports in a word processor, I always thought
that is what they were for :)

Firstly, I wouldn't use any Office tools or SQL Server Report Server for
this.

Instead, I'd interface directly with SQL Server, fetch the data I require,
and then create a PDF for emailing to the users.

I use this: http://www.siberix.com/ - there are many others...

WHAT electronic format? Text in the body of the message itself? An
attachment? What kind? This is the first thing you need to define.

I need to export the data to word. One of the reports will allow a data to
write their
comments on the data they used reviewed.
