  Hi there,

  I have found the report explorer web part really useful as a means of integrating reporting services into sharepoint.

  When I click on the subscription button, the dialogue box always defaults to my login (i.e. Administrator), which is not a valid email address. Unbelievably, this box is greyed out - I cannot change it.

  Any ideas?

  Many thanks

  Chris

  Have a feeling thsi is 'locked down' because the email address should be associated with the user account within Sharepoint. You can modify the email address for this account using the steps pasted below.

  Modify user account information

  1. From the home page for a SharePoint site, on the top link bar, click Site Settings.
  2. On the Site Settings page, under Manage My Information , click View information about site users.
  3. Click the user account you want to modify.
  4. Click Edit User Information.
  5. Specify the new user information for this account.

     • In the Display Name field, type the name of the user. This is the name that other site members see when this user contributes to the site; for example, when adding documents or participating in Web discussions.
     • In the E-mail Address field, type the e-mail address of the user.
     • In the Notes field, type any comments about this user account.

  6. To assign administrative rights for this site collection to this user, select Site collection administrator.
  7. Click Save and Close.

  Note  The User Information page displays the account names of only those users who have used the site. To modify the account of a user who has not accessed the site, delete the account and then recreate it with the updated information.

  HTH,

  Steve.
