    Having never used reporting services I want to creat a report that will email customers ther orders for the day and if they don't have email then it will fax that information to them(I have a lot of customer that use a FAX instead of email.) Can I fax from SQL Server 2005?

    Thanks

    I don't think sql server does not have access to any printer objects; Because of that, I think what you want to do is use/create a program that reads data from the server, and the program does the printing/faxing.

    In your case, it sounds more like you'd want to send the html document that is rendered from reporting services, rather than the data that is underlying the report?

    if you've saved the rendered report to a file, you can use existing email to fax services like Trusfax.com, after you set up an account...but that's not free...so you might want to create a program to do it yourself instead:
