    I created a ssrs report to import into dynamics. It turns out that the client would like this embedded in the contact form, like off one of the tabs within the form. I am brand new to dynamics and barely understand much beyond what you can visually figure out. I am a .net developer if that helps anyone who reads this to understand who i am. Is there anyone who can point me to how to do this, or even contact me as I am willing to pay for this to get it done. Dynamics is not my primary develpment work, I am brand new to this, and the client is getting very impatient with me. Please can anyone help?

    Thanks Steve

    Hi Steve,

    There are a few tools that allow you to edit the ribbon of a specific form.

    By doing that you are also able to create new custom buttons whose you can assign custom events.

    So you can configure the button to run a RDL file (your report should have a file with this extension).

    Ex: on your ribbon you can have a button that is named "Generate Report" and when you click on it it generates the report via your rdl file.

    Tools you can use:CRM 2011 , CRM 2013

    Both this tools are solutions that run inside your CRM.

    Good luck

    This is pretty straightforward, and there are a number of post on the web.

    There are two issues:

    1. It can get a little fiddly to get the GUIDs and report parameters just right
    2. When embedding the whole CRM report viewer, the screen looks a little clunky.  It is possible to use jQuery to add some sizzle, if so desired.

    I'd be happy to provide support if you run into any issues.  Just PM me.
