Is there anyway to embed a report in an email message instead of attaching it? I want to be able to send out nice looking order confirmations via email using Reporting Services. I would like the HTML to be embeded in the email so that the user does not have to open an attachment to see the report.
Can this be done?
Thanks,
Stuart Fox
Hi ...
I posted this same question on the ASP.NET forum and haven't received an answer, so I thought I'ld move the discussion over to this forum. My question has been read several times, so I know I'm not the only one facing this problem, but nobody seems to know how to make it happen.
Anyhow, I'm building a system where we collect a great deal of meta data inside of SQL Server. The meta data is associated wtih files that the users can attach - image files and PDFs. I can get the image files to display properly, however I can find no way to actually display the contents of the PDF file as part of the report.
We want to print out the meta data as a header to the PDF and then print the PDF in it's entirety. As an example, we would print out:
Emergency Plan Name: xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Facility Name: xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Last Review Date: 99/99/9999 Reviewed By: xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
--- HERE IS WHERE I WOULD WANT TO PRINT OUT THE ASSOCIATED PDF's --
-- Emergency Plan --
-- Evacuation Plan 1 --
-- Evacuation Plan 2 --
I can print the file names - they are fields in the database, but how do I embed the actual PDF in to the report? They can print on different pages - I don't care about that, but I need to get them to be a part of the report.
Thanks ...

Is it possible to embed an excel worksheet in a report? I have a workbook which contains some data and this data needs to be part of the report. What are my options and can this be done by creating a custom report item.
Thanks for your advice.

Hi, I have a report which includes all the customer data. each customer have a separate page based on their id.
For example, the report is 10 pages and each page is data for one customer.
Now we need to insert the instruction on the second page of each customer report. that means we need
to insert 10 instructions on the above report so each customer will get one page of data and one page of instruction.
this instruction is a pdf/word file, and
it is big so it is hard for us to redesign it in the report. We are thinking to embed the pdf/word file into the report, but
looks to me, the report only can embed the the image. If we make that pdf file as image, the report will be very
large and hard tto deploy. Can someone help me with this? thanks in advance.

My obstical is that I do not want the person who gets the component to have any access to the database... here is my question.

Im trying to figure out if there is a way to embed an ssis package into a c# winform?
I know that I can pass variables to a package and write the entire package out programatically, but im curious if there is a way to add the dtsx as an assembly or something. OR is there any tool that would take the ssis package and spit out its equivalent in code?
thanks
Hi
I have seen in the licence of SNAC that it is a redistribuable piece of software. That's fine to me
However, when we install the MSI file, it places dll files into <windir>system32. Our policy, when possible, is to install everything we need into the install dir of our software (to work with validated sub-systems).
Is it possible to parametrize the installation of SNAC for the place where files are written, or to install the files ourselves as part of our distribution ?
Regards

Learning as I go....
I'm having a problem with saving a password in a SSIS package that is accessing an Oracle database as an external data source. I experienced the problem that many people have had with the SSIS package not saving the Oracle password as expected. I successfully saved the Oracle datasource password (Password #1) using the "Encrypt sensitive with password" security setting and then setting a separate/new password (Password #2) for the SSIS package. I've imported this package into my Integration Services installation, and I can get it to run successfully by manually entering Password #2 when I open the package.
Now I want to pull the SSIS package into a SQL Job Agent, along with some other steps, to run on an automatic schedule. My question -- how/where do I embed Password #2 (the one for the SSIS package) in the settings for the SQL Job Agent step that I use to run the SSIS package? The SQL Job Agent step settings box prompts me for Password #2 before it will let me edit settings for the package, but it doesn't save that password. So when I actually run the whole job, the SSIS package always fails.
Hello,
I am kind of new with .Net development and really new with using SqlExpress. Here is my question, I hope it is easy:
I have a shareware program that I have been selling since 2000 and it was written in VB6 using a third party database program. What I would like to do is rewrite this application using C# and SqlServer Express. The program as it stands right now is about 5mb to download and install.
My concerns:
1) How do I embed and quietly install sqlserver express to the end user's computer without them having any intervention?
2) By using sqlserver express as my database how much extra overhead is going to be included in the install package? I want to keep the install package as small as possible and the user experience of installing the program as painless as possible.
Thanks in advance,
I have some code that I need to run every quarter. I have many that are similar to this one so I wanted to input two parameters rather than searching and replacing the values. I have another stored procedure that's executed from this one that I will also parameter-ize. The problem I'm having is in embedding a parameter in the name of the called procedure (exec statement at the end of the code). I tried it as I'm showing and it errored. I tried googling but I couldn't find anything related to this. Maybe I just don't have the right keywords. what is the syntax?
CREATE PROCEDURE [dbo].[runDMQ3_2014LDLComplete]

I did a sp_detach_db of a database, then deleted the log file because it was too big. Now, when I try to sp_attach_db, or even sp_attach_single_file_db, it will not re-create the db.
When I tried to attach a database from Enterprise manager, I got "error 3624, location: scanrid.cpp:321 Expression: m_len != 0 spid 51 proseccid 436......" The files are all there, but it seems there are problems of activating files, or the files are crashed. Any one got idea? Actually, we just need one table in that database. Is there any way to save a table from mdf file or ndf file? Or repair files?

Suppose I have an MS access database with query1 and query2. Query2 usesquery1 something like this:Select table.* from (table left join query1 on field1=field2)Now I want to make a change in query1 to change the behaviour of query2. Butthis cannot be done in a live environment because I have to shut down theapplication, make the change in the database and start the applicationagain. What I can do is make a query 3 in my application (instead of in thedatabase) that is initially does the same as query2 like this:Select table.* from (table left join -->some SQL code to embed query1<-- onfield1=field2)Once I know how to do this, I can change the "embedded" sql code to myneeds.Question is: how do I "embed" SQL code in another statement?

I know the chances of getting a positive answer on this are remote but here goes:
I have a db that I need to move to a new server (that isnt on the same network !)
Firstly tried, backing up the DB, copying the backup to various removable media, copied it onto the new server, then tried restoring. The restore almost completes, then comes up that backup is incomplete !
If I restore the DB on the original server from the same backup file it works fine !
Second method, detached the DB, copied the mdf file to a memory stick, copied onto the new server, attempted to attach the mdf file and get:
I/O error (bad page ID) detected during read at offset 0x00000003f80000 in file ..........mdf
Error: 823, Severity: 24, State: 2
If I re-attach the file on the original server this works !!!
My next step will be to get the two servers connected over the network, so that I can use DTS, but this is not ideal and would like to avoid this if possible.
If anybody has any suggestions, I would be eternally grateful.
p.s. I have tried restoring/attaching on other servers in case it was a problem with the new server, but get the same problems.
Regards

I have copied the .mdf and .ldf files from one db and I'd like to attach the copies to a new db on the same server. When I try to attach the copied files I get the error, "the physical file name may be incorrect". Original db filename is "MC_DISC_Data.mdf", I copied this and renamed it to, "MC_Data.mdf" in my sqldata folder. I can see the physical file name is still the original name when I'm trying to attach db using EM, how can I change it to the copied name?
