I might be in left field here, especially since I believe reporting services
is entirely a server side report generation engine, but....

I would like to generate (not just view something from regular srs -- I want
to produce something from my local SQL Mobile right on the mobile device,
which is tablet xp in this case) a report from my local sql mobile database.
Nothing overly fancy. Is this possible with SRS or perhaps you know of
another product/path (besides me obviously generating it by hand) that could
help here.

I realize I could just run sql express on the tablet, but was trying to
structure on sql mobile so i could potentially take atleast my data stuff
onto ppc or msp.

Tim,

I'm not aware of any reporting tools that support SQL Mobile. Perhaps when
SQL Mobile has transitioned into SQL Everywhere, which will be supported on
any desktop machine and not just Tablets, there could be a change - I just
don't know. My simple mobile reports are all hand-coded at the moment if
that helps, but once the data is moved to the company server, then I have
the full range of reporting tools such as SSRS, and that's where most of the
reporting happens in my systems.

Thanks Ginny, I was begining to suspect as much. I did see a comment down
near the bottom of Steve Lasker's comments on Sql Everywhere regarding
reporting services which seemed to indicate it *might* support reporting
services on the client. So we will see. Yes I have a slew of reporting on
my enterprise servers mostly SRS but my mobile stuff follows the common
pattern of running offline and online so I can't get to the particular report
I would be looking for. I'll generate it by hand on the device.
