Emailing Report

I need to export a view into excel and mail to my manager daily morning. Is there a way i can automate this process. I know how to convert view to excel but i need a better solution to automate this process with emailing to my mgr. Please suggest a better approach of doing this.

Thanks,

The send mail task accepts the use of file attachments.

You are using SSIS, right?|||Or you might want to consider Reporting Services for this.|||

If you are going to use SSIS, create a new package, add a data flow task with an OLEDB source that retrieves the view. Add an Excel destination to the data flow to capture the results. Back in the control flow, add a Send Mail task to send the email.

If you want to do it in Reporting Services, post your question in the RS forum (http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowForum.aspx?ForumID=82&SiteID=1) and I'll answer it there.
