I have a report which I can print on legal paper, once I choose the landscape settings on print menu. When the same report is set to export to a file share in pdf format, it renders in portrait format. Is it possible to have the pdf document look like the landscape view so that the user can just hit print.
Thanks

Is there a way to make some elements on a report appear only when printed/exported ?
I recall this is possible in MS Access forms/reports, but am unable to find it in RS.
I'm thinking of Disclaimers, Company Logo etc...
Is it possible to suppress the output of certain report elements when the report is printed or exported? I want a particular image element that has a hyperlink to be visible when the report is viewed within RS's ReportViewer, but don't want it to show up on the printed or exported file. I figure, if this is even possible, the most obvious methods would be either:
1. Put the element in the page header or footer, then set up the page header or footer to not show up on the printed or exported report.
2. Put the element anywhere on the report, and set it to hidden when the report is printed or exported.
Are either of these possible? If not, is there another way to accomplish this?
Thanks,

Hi,
My report prints every second page as blank. Also exporting to PDF every second page is blank.
Why is this?
Thanks.
I have a user that says that after she installed the ActiveX control for printing, that she can no longer export the reports. Has this happened to anyone else? What settings do I need to check on her machine to fix this problem?
View 2 Replies View RelatedHi there,
I got this weird problem and I was wondering whether anyone has an idea of how to resolve this.
I have a working report on the RS server, ran the report and tried to print it straight from the page by clicking on the Print button.
When it printed, it gave me additional pages as though the margins were incorrect. I have additional space on the left of the report, which pushes it out towards the right (very slight but noticable) which ended up printing "blank pages" ( basically only the page header). Moreover it didn't print any of the page footers ( which has the page numbers).
The weird part is that, I tried to export it to PDF format, and when I take a look at the pdf version, it looked fine with no formatting errors. Even printing the pdf works great.
I was wondering whether there was some bug with the RS Server or do I need to do somethin with the config file ? please advise. thanks !

I just used the SSIS Import and Export Wizard to copy 50+ tables from SS05 to SS2K.
I found that the wizard created a package that I could not figure out how to edit, e.g., to change whether or not it had to CREATE a table, or just use an existing one. (I created some problems by manually editing the receiving table names to be ones that already existed -- but the original names it had did not exist, so it knew it had to create them. What I should have done, and eventually ended up doing, was scroll through my list of tables in the "receiving" box; I just figured editing the name would be faster, not realizing what problems I would create for myself.)
Anyhow, now that I see the complex package that the wizard creates, with a LOOP over the 50+ tables, I would like to know how/where in the package it is storing the information about the tables to copy.
Basically the wizard creates the following Control Flow tab entries (in processing sequence order):
an Execute SQL Task: NonTransactableSql
an Execute SQL Task: START TRANSACTION
a Sequence Container: Transaction Scoping Sequence, which contains
an Execute SQL Task: AllowedToFailPrologueSql
an Execute SQL Task: PrologueSql
a Foreach Loop Container, which contains
a Transfer Task with an icon I did not notice in the Toolbox
an Execute Package Task: Execute Inner Package
an Execute SQL Task: EpilogueSql
an "on success" arrow to
an Execute SQL Task: COMMIT TRANSACTION
an Execute SQL Task: PostTransaction Sql
an "on failure" arrow to
an Execute SQL Task: ROLLBACK TRANSACTION
an Execute SQL Task: CompensatingSql
Where, and how, can I look within this package to see the details about the tables I am transferring? I see that one of the Connection Managers is "TableSchema.XML" -- but it points to a temporary file on my hard drive, that I presume is populated by the package. Where does it get its information?
This is certainly much more complex than the package I would have written, based on my limited knowledge of SSIS. I would have been inclined to create 50+ Data Flow tasks, one for each table.
So now I'm trying to understand why the Wizard created this more-complex package.
Any help will be appreciated, including references to non-Microsoft books/websites/etc.
Thanks in advance.

Hi to all,
doe's anybody know how to print all the tables and schemes from the Microsoft SQL Management studio?
Thanks,

Hi All,
I have a report which has four tables in it. But I have only one
Dataset. Since this dataset has more then 30 fields, I have divided
this into four tables to be shown in a report. This will help the user
to take print of the report and place each print out side by side for
view.
Showing each table in a new page is just fine. It works. But when we
take print out some times rows of second table are printed in same
page that shows rows of first table.
With this user can not put each print out side by side for view.
Is there any way to set option like print each table in new page? I
mean to say after printing first table, second table print should
start at new page.
Thanks in advance.
Hi,
I hide some fields in the Report based on the user's query selection.
However, when the user exports to excel all the report fields appear.
How do I show only the relevant fields in the excel export?
Thanks.
I have a report that has 10 columns. While viewing, users should see only 8 columns and 2 will be hidden.
But is there any way we can export those 2 hidden columns to excel?
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,

I have a fairly large report with multiple matrix tables. They grow to a fixed width horizontally and may grow to various heights vertically. I have the interactive height set to zero so that it displays on the web page on one screen. When I go to print this report, I am getting a blank page between each page with data. Here are my dimensions:
Report:
height: 15 in
width: 8.5 in
interactive height: 0 in
interactive width: 8.5 in
left margin: .5 in
right margin: .5 in
top margin: .5 in
bottom margin: .5 in
Body:
height: 13.3875 in
width: 6.9 in
Would this problem be due to the fact that my matrix tables span an area greater than a normal page height in design mode even before they grow dynamically? Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks.
Hi
I need to export data to CSV file from Sql Reporting Services.

Please let me know if anybody knows.

I need to be able to suppress the printing of a particular value when exporting, but not when displaying on a web viewer on-line. I can place an IIF() condition around the field to do this, but do not know how to obtain a parameter/value/function which would recognize that the viewer has selected an export (To .PDF for example).
I would prefer there be a direct parameter I can read from the RDL language, however recognizing the selection while setting up the viewer to be displayed in the code-behind and setting an external parameter is also an option.
Any help would be appreciated.

When I open the spreadsheet in Excel 2000, it works fine. When I try to print, it crashes Excel. In testing, I narrowed it down to the Header/Footer, because it also crashes when I go to Page Setup and click on the header/footer tab.
However, I can print the same spreasheet from Excel 2007.
Am I just dealing with a "you need to upgrade all your clients" situation, or is there a known issue with certian formatting that is passed out with reports that is not supported by older versions of Excel?
I am using Reporting Services 2005 SP2 to serve up the report that is exported to Excel.
Any assistance is appreciated.
I have many tables, and I just want to print the relationships between them. The ones without foreign keys to primary key relations are irrelevant. I made a diagram of all tables in sql server management studio, and it shows the key relations, but its a very large diagram horizontally and vertically. Is there a way to print the whole thing so that it doesn't take endless pages that I don't know how to piece together?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI'm working on an ASP.Net project where I want to test code on a localmachine using a local database as a back-end, and then export it tothe production machine where it uses the hosting provider's SQL Serverdatabase on the back-end. Is there a way to export tables from oneSQL Server database to another in such a way that if a table alreadyexists in the destination database, it will be updated to reflect thechanges to the local table, without existing data in the destinationtable being lost? e.g. suppose I change some tables in my localdatabase by adding new fields. Can I "export" these changes to thedestination database so that the new fields will be added to thedestination tables (and filled in with default values), without losingdata in the destination tables?If I run the DTS Import/Export Wizard that comes with SQL Server andchoose "Copy table(s) and view(s) from the source database" and choosethe tables I want to copy, there is apparently no option *not* to copythe data, and since I don't want to copy the data, that choice doesn'twork. If instead of "Copy table(s) and view(s) from the sourcedatabase", I choose "Copy objects and data between SQL Serverdatabases", then on the following options I can uncheck the "CopyData" box to prevent data being copied. But for the "CreateDestination Objects" choices, I have to uncheck "Drop destinationobjects first" since I don't want to lose the existing data. But whenI uncheck that and try to do the copy, I get collisions between theproperties of the local table and the existing destination table,e.g.:"Table 'wbuser' already has a primary key defined on it."Is there no way to do what I want using the DTS Import/Export Wizard?Can it be done some other way?-Bennett
View 3 Replies View RelatedIs there any nice way when saving a result set grid to CSV (right click, save to CSV) to properly delimit text fields that contain commas? As it is, text data that includes commas cannot be safely exported to CSV.

SELECT 'Bye now', 'Bye'
Hi.
A newbie question. I am tearing my hair out trying to work out how in Sql Server 2005 to get a printout (or even better a file I can save that i could incroporate in a wrod document), or both, which shows the structure of all the tables in my database.
I want to list all tables (or selected tables perhaps) , and all columns in those tables, with the attributes of each column (nvarchar(2) etc or decimal(18,5) etc). Just a simple listing of all tables and their columns and the attributes of those columns.
Surely this must be possible with a simple one click operation in Sql Server 2005. I have created a database diagram which gives me part of what I want, but that just shows the tables, relationships, and column names, not the attributes of each column which is what I need as well.
I don't want to have to start installing third party products to do this, and I have no great script writing capabilities. Surely such a basic function is easily acheivable with one or two clicks in Sql Server 2005 from a menu somewhere in sql server mangaement studio?
Thanks in Advance for your help.

We are having problems printing Reports (when printing by clicking on the AcitiveX print control), where the font for the fields are set to "C39HrP24DhTt" (barcode).
While viewing the report it displays as Barcodes but while printing, the Barcode does not get printed, but the string gets printed.
Environment: SSRS 2005
Using the ReportViewer Control in a .Net 2.0 Web App to render the reports.
BarCodes print fine in the following situations:
1. When the Report is exported to Excel and when printed from there
2. When you click on the print button on Internet Explorer
3. When saving as html (from view source) and opening that html document and printing.
BarCodes do NOT get printed in the following situation:
1. When printing by clicking on the "Print" (Active X Control) icon. Even the "Print Preview" does not show the Barcode.
Hi,
This is a very bizzare one. I have installed SQL many times and never had this problem. I had a user self install SQL 2005, as it turns out, he installed the wrong components, so a co-worker uninstalled it for him. We followed the support doc for the uninstall, because we had errors when tried to remove it.
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/909967
After, we were able to re-install (we installed this time via the command line), but for some odd reason we have completely lost the ability to print to ANY network printer. I didn't think this was possible, but I tried it on my machine and now I too am unable to print!
A couple of details:
Both machines:
XP-SP2
HP dx7400
Printers: a variety of HP Networked Printers (can't print to any)
I have added and removed the printers multiple times and tried adding via a local port... no luck
There is no error in the event log
If I try to print a test page, I get an error box that says "Test Page Failed to Print"
Since there are no real errors for the print issue, I am struggling to find a solution. Has anyone ever seen this??
Thanks!

I have a report, with 220 records, each row heigth varies. I have set the option to repeat header on every page on. However, when I print the report, the header prints on some pages, and some it does not. For eg, on the 5 page reprot, it prints the header on pg 1, 2 and 3. Then on pg 4 it does not, then again page 5 it prints the header.
Any advise.
I'm a developer at a medium-sized installation using ReportServer 2005. There's a problem that occurs for some users and not others. After the ReportServer 2005 report has been generated, the user clicks the Print icon. The print dialog comes up; when they click the OK button on the Print dialog, the screen goes black and their machine reboots.
We've then gone to install the latest Microsoft updates on their machine, to no avail.
After the reboot, they can print from, e.g., Microsoft Word or other applications, but they crash the OS when they print from the ReportServer 2005 report.
I know the first time you print from ReportServer, it installs some software on your machine. I don't know if the problem is related to this.
Any ideas would be appreciated.

Hi all,
I'm not sure how easy of a task this is, or how to go about it, so I thought I'd ask here. I am doing a major overhaul to my site and am re-programming the backend which involves re-formatting my tables, table names etc.
What I want to do is set up a new table in the format I want for the new site, but still be able to have the live data that is being submitted to the site now, be entered into the new table so that I don't have to shut down the site for days to transfer and reformat data. Example
CURRENT SITE
Table 1
Field1: Name
Field2: Address
NEW SITE
Table 1
Field1: Name
Field2: myAddress
Field3: City
I want to be able to somehow map the two together so that when data is entered into the Name field on the current site, that same name is also inserted into the new site table as well. Mapping like this:
(current site)Name -> (new site)Name
(current site)Address -> (new site)myAddress
The city field would be left unaffected as that data would only be entered once the new site is up and running.
I know I could do this from a stored procedure on the exiting site or by re-writting all of my SQL to insert into both tables, but right now all of the SQL is hardcoded into the pages and I have A LOT of pages. Is there a way to map the tables together from within SQL Server?
Cheers,
Jeff
Hi All,
I need to get the names of tables and fields (or atleast the fields) from a database. Is there a query I can use that will return what all the db's tables and those tables fields are?

Hi,
I have a database with approx 95 tables. I would like to get a printout of each table, the fields contained therein and the field type
(i.e the information displayed when rightclicking a table in Enterprise Manager and selecting Properties).
I have tried to use the diagram function but due to the large number of tables the diagram is very complex and would have to be printed out on a huge sheet of paper to make it legible. I have also looked at the SP_HELP stored procedure but can't seem to get the syntax correct to display properties on all tables (info on one table is no problem).
Any ideas ?
Thanks,

I am working with the article that MAK wrote on SecurityLogs http://www.databasejournal.com/features/mssql/article.php/3515886
I have completed this, but I have made some changes to the database (for normalization to 3NF purposes). I now have problems with a query.
I am trying to "Insert a new record in a table if it does not already exist in the table". To try to clarify I perform the following query:
INSERT INTO Tmp_Event
SELECT DISTINCT EventID, EventType, EventTypeName from Tmp
Which gives me the Tmp_Event table consisting of EventID's etc. (no duplicates). What I then want to do, is compare the 'Tmp_event' table and an already existing 'Event' table. These two tables are in fact identical. I would like to insert any records from 'Tmp_Event' into 'Event' if they do not already exist in 'Event'.
This query gives me all records that do not exist in 'Event'
SELECT EventID, EventType, EventTYpeName from Tmp_Event
WHERE EventID NOT IN (SELECT EventID from Event)
How can I change this query into performing an INSERT INTO Event as well?
Hope this makes sense :)
