I need to fill in fields in Word doc templates to be printed/pdf with ReportSharpshooter. I'm trying to get a handle on it conceptually - at what part of the process does the insert happen? Do I first desiign a RSS report with an RTF field and data fields as inserted into the RTF? How do you handle places where there might be multiple lines of data (this is insurance policies and at some points there will be lists of things appearing on the policy)



Is there a particular place in the docs or samples I should be looking? Anyone have a RSS report as a sample I could look at?



Thanks

Any guidance to get me started will probably save me a lot of time and will be greatly appreciated. I am still somewhat of a novice with RSS.

just one other quick question - if I want to chop up my Word doc into RTF chunks and store them as data in varchar(max) fields ( or do I want vbinary? ) can I put them in as cut and paste to RTF textboxes bound to the SQL data or ???

Actually you will want to use NVarChar(MAX). This will support the unicode characters that may be entered at some point. This would be the safest road to travel. Your needs may be no greater than doing just as you mentioned and binding the SQL data to the RTF controls. If that meets your need then I would say go for it!
