Can BO infoView or Deski access Sharepoint site data collection

[Coyote2]

Hi,
is it possible to create a simple report in Webi or Deski by connecting to SharePoint 2007 site collection? if not, what is the alternative?

Whatever method I use the final report needs to be automatically run and distributed to a group by email.

I was able to create a report in Visual Studio 2005 to collect the info but I'm not sure how I can automated it to run/export.

thank you.

How did you create the report in VS? Did you use Crystal there? If so, you could use Crystal instead of Webi or Deski to publish and schedule the report if you're on BO XI or higher (you don't specify which version of BO you're using...)

A computer only does what you actually told it to do - not what you thought you told it to do.

hilfy,
the report was .rdl not crystal. I could create it in crystal but we don't have Crystal Server license to run/schedule it from BO.

thanks

Do you have BO Professional licenses that only allow access to Webi and Deski? Or do you have BO Premium licenses? The Premium license allow you to schedule Crystal reports without a separate server license (assuming you're on BO XI or higher.)
