Hello,
I am very new to SQL, so please go easy on me...
I need to come up with a reporting scheme, and I am not sure what to
do.
Right now I pull information from SQL 2000 to Excel. I need to come up
with something better, something automated.

Can you please suggest some resources? Is there any applications that
do this for a reasonable price?

Thanks,
Wendy

Access is a tried and true, CHEAP reporting tool for SQL Server. You
can use linked servers to SQL from a traditional MDB or you can use
ADP's to more directly access SQL. With Access 2007, it even appears
you can save the reports/exports and automate them all within Access.
(Of course, you can automate this via scripting in Access 2000 or 2003).

How about Microsoft Reporting Services?

TSQL and BCP is all you need. I assume you have this because you are
already pulling your information from SQL 2000 to Excel.

First, take your query and build a stored procedure.

Next, bcp your data out to a file. This is a script. With a script,
you can schedule it how you want.

bcp "exec %database%..%command%" queryout "%outputfile%" -T -c
%switches1% -S %server% >%outputfile%.%fileext%.log

Done! Enjoy!!
