Having a report generate with a rtf for data entry

Is there a way to have a report generate so that there is an 'empty' rich
text box for someone to add notes, comments, text to the report after it
generates?
For example, if i have a report generate out to a shared directory, i want
to allow someone to go 'update' that report by adding explanatory bullets to
the report.
any suggestions or direction is welcomed.
Thx.Sounds like you will have to write a custom report exentension control.
This control will render to HTML and you can render the specific HTML you
need to for data entry and postbacks.
Check out http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms154606(SQL.90).aspx for
information on rendering extensions. I have not had to write any yet but it
looks like you can specify an HTML specific rendering extension.
