Excel report migration + html display

Hi,
We have the following 2 problem areas in our application:
1) We have a excel report that calls a SQL SP which returns 13 resultsets.
These resultsets are then read by a excel macro and a report is printed in
the worksheet. We now want to move this to SSRS 2000. I was trying to find a
easy way out by embedding a excel object in the report and use the same
macro. Is this possible? If not then can anyone suggest any workaround? For
the SP's returning multiple resultsets, we are thinking of creating 13
datasets each of them will have their own SP.
In order to convert to SSRS 2000, do i need to recode the entire logic of
the macro in SSRS? or is there any better way.
2) As displaying of RTF is not supported in SSRS 2000, I was thinking of
writing some code which will parse the RTF and spit out a formatted HTML. Is
it possible to display HTML in the report? If not, then is there any
workaround?
3) I read in some of the posts that supporting HTML in SSRS will be a
security hole-what does that mean?
Thanks in advance

Hello Afaq,
SoftArtisans OfficeWriter is a report designer and custom rendering extension
for SSRS that lets you use real Excel and Word files as report templates,
and deliver those files intact. If you put VBA code in the template, it
will be preserved when it's delievered by Reporting Services:
