Using SSRS 2008 web service calls across multiple threads

I'm trying to create a multi-threaded service that will render a large volume of reports to multiple output sources (file, ftp, email, etc), but I've run into a large problem.

I currently have the following problem : i have two matrices in the same report, but the second keep going to a second page.

The problem I encounter is that some charts get shoved over to the right, seemingly due to the table w...

Is there a way to put subreports in headers in SSRS?

SSRS 2005 How-to: Headers for groups within groups?
