  I wrote 10,000 lines of SQL (several temp tables) and i would like to move it to SSRS but i  can't copy and paste that much code.  Thoughts?

  thanks

  Use an SP. Putting the SQL directly in SSRS is rarely a good idea.

  Also, however, I doubt that using several temporary tables is going to be the best (performing) solution.

  Convert it to a stored procedure and call the stored procedure from SSRS.

  RBAR is pronounced "ree-bar" and is a "Modenism" for Row-By-Agonizing-Row.
  First step towards the paradigm shift of writing Set Based code:
  ________Stop thinking about what you want to do to a ROW... think, instead, of what you want to do to a COLUMN.

  Change is inevitable... Change for the better is not.

  Thom A - i totally agree that my large temp table isnt good code, but i need Duty Rates from Customs and that table is 9500 rows long.  My company doesnt have a Table that holds them  . . . yet

  Put your code into a stored procedure, execute your SSRS report using a stored procedure.
