Changing the file name when sending a report in a subscription

Hello...
When i send a report in a subscription (in excel format - or any other) the
file is created and send as a file with the name of the report. How can i
change the name of this file ?
ThanksOne solution for you might be to create linked reports and to create
subscriptions on those.
However if you are looking to create something where you can configure the
name of the report when the report is executed - say append a date and time
to the report's name - then you are going to either have to create a Custom
Delivery Extension, or you are going to have to build your own component
that you schedule independantly from Reporting Services that extracts the
Report via the SOAP interface, names the output file and delivers it to your
user.
