My primitive questions

I want to cerate printable reports and they must be in certain format , I don't have any experience in neither "Crystal reports" and "Reporting services" I wanted to make them by "Crystal reports" but it is very confusing ! so some one advice me to use "Reporting services" and I want to make sure that"Reporting services" can give me what I need befor I start to learn it seriously .

My first question is can I use "Reporting services" with a sql server data base on an ordinary web hosting?

Then I need extremely formatted prints of those reports rather in a web based application. Can "Reporting services" give me web based print like something we have in crystal reports ?

And last question is : where to start learning"Reporting services" fast ?

Thank you in advance .

Have a look at the following:

http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-gb/sql/aa336316.aspx (SQL Server 2005 Reporting Services has many tutorials)|||

Thank you for links despite I saw them before but Dude give me some basic information before make me to read every thingJ

Please somebody answer my question with yes or no

Thank you .

If you have SQL Server with the reporting services component plus the web viewer control.

SSRS can output a number of formats including PDF.
