Under design table of SQL Server there is a tab that will allow you to comment each column and it's purpose. I want to run a report that will show all my comments. Any ideas? I couldn't seem to find anything in these VOLUMES of SQL Server books I have.

Hello SQL Server Experts, Data Analysts, and Report Writers et al:
re: Reporting Options with SQL Server
I wanted to propose an offshoot to the pryor thread:
Would anyone take a stab at comparing Access Reports, Crystal Reports,
Cognos or other options to all the Reporting Services and its components offered as part ofSQL Server, especially as to extracting data from SQL Server into a report format?
I guess this is a far as capabilites, ease of use, limitations, and especially formatting
or presentation of the end report product?
Thank you to all, and I hope this is a beneficial discussion to others.

I have an already published application running several MS SQL Server 2000 Reporting Services report.
I need a way to find from either the reporting services log or the application server (IIS) logs or windows log
to know the frequency of each report being used.
Based on this info, the business needs to know which reports are being used and to what extend?
How can I acheive this?
I have already got the IIS logs and it did not give the required info.
I have looked into the Reporting Services logs but it does not provide the info either.
Any help is appreciated

Hi Friends,
Could I migrate the reports which are developed on SQL 2000 to SQL 2005. If Yes then How ...
Could anyone explain me. How it works.
Thanks

My issue is with converting multi-value parameters:
In Crystal Reports, you can set a parameter to accept multiple vales (Discrete, Range or Discrete and Range).
As an example:
I have a database table with a column called ID.
I can create a parameter called param_id and set the options of the parameter to "Allow multiple range values".
With this setup, I can limit the result set of the report by comparing the param_id parameter to the ID column in the database. Because param_id is a multi-value range parameter, I can pass it the following data:
1 - 50
60 - 80
150 - 127
This will only return results within those ranges.
Does anyone know if SSRS provides this kind of functionality?
Thanks,
Patrick Conway
Is there a way to copy reports from other users "My reports" folder? I am logging onto the management studio reporting services using an administrative account and I am able to view the reports from all users' "My Reports" folder. But I am not able to export them as an rdl file. I am able to export reports from other common folders, but not from the "My Reports" folder.
The reason I need to do this is some of the users have created some reports in one environment and the reports are available in their respective "My Reports" folder. I need to move these reports to their corresponding "My Reports" folder in another environment.
Is there a way to do this?
Thanks for your help.
I have deployed some reports on the reporting server, i have noticed that every one in the domain in which the reports are published can access the reports, except one user. when he tries to access the report he got the following error message or the blank report.
"An error occured during report processing"
"can no read the next data row for the data set dataset1".
Although this user has all the roles on the reporiting server kike browser,content manager etc.
i tried many things but still problem persists.
Can anyone tell me the exact reason for this ?
I shall be extremely thankfull.

I would like to deploy several reports to production server, Do i need to install reporting services entire software in order to run the reports or is it possible to just have runtime files installed on it to run the reports.
please help, i have almost 100 reports to be deployed on this server which is located in other country.
Thanks for the helpful information.
(i am using SQL server 2005 / reporting services 2005.)
Hi All
Just a quick question; Can SQL Server 2000 reports use SQL Server 2005 database as a data source?
Early Thanks,
Salman Shehbaz.
I am trying to setup cached reports so that one of my larger reports doesn't have to be re-run every time someone wants to view it (the data source only updates every 24 hours).
Anyway I made a new data source, set the report to use that, and in that data source I said to use "SQLexampleUserName" as the stored credentials.
Now when I go to run the report it says: Login failed for user 'username'. The user is not associated with a trusted SQL Server connection.
This is referenced in the MSKB here:
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx/kb/555332
Which makes sense, but now my question is: If I want to used a cached report do I HAVE to allow SQL Server Credentials?
I was using Windows Authentication only up to this point.
Hi all,
I have two problems.
1. I downloaded ChartFXRSTrial and created one chart, and able to deploy it in ReportServer, but the problem is the reports are not showing there, i checked the configuration of .dll files in the help provided by chartFX, but couldn't get anything, so could help me on this.
2. How to give Tooltip for the X- axis or Y- axis values in the ReportServer , i tried using chartproperties of .rdl file, but didnt understand it. can help me on this, and one more i tried with Dundas too, If im giving tooltip as #valy then, it is showing samething in reportserver instead the values of 'Y-axis'.
Thanks,

Hello All,
I have created a SQL Server Report using VS2005.
Now I want to write my own code for an auto calculated field.
When I explored the Visual Studio , I found that I can write code in
"Report >> Report Properties" but the code can only be written in VB.NET
It is amazing for me because i want to write my code in C#.
Can any one help that how can i write C# methods in Code Area of "Report >> Report Properties"?
OR IS IT IMPOSIBLE TO WRITE CODE IN C#
I will be waiting for your kind reply.

I have installed SSRS on my local machine with all default settings. Report manager and report server and reportserver data base and reportservertempDB all are in my local machine. Now I have already created few reports. but now the company wants to deploy them to the main server. Now can I do this? Do I have to chage the report configuration settings. Does it effect to my current reports?
If this is possible, can anyone tell me how to do this please?
Thanks
I have created and deployed almost 30 reports to a ssrs server.
After that, due to a stupid mistake with source control, my entire project was deleted and the reports are gone.
Fortunately the reports are still deployed on the server.
Is there anyway i can salvage the reports from the report server ?
I need to know how to extract the rdl of each report from the server.
Thank you for your help

I am in the planning phase of building a Form Authenication Report Server project. The database contains the Role information for each report and for each user. The objective is to authenicate and authorize user so that only the authorized reports are available for the current user to view.
Base on my research these are my plans.
1. Deploy Reports onto the Report Server
2. Put Reports in folders to group different types of report (I am not sure is it possible to only the display authorized reports for the current user)
3. Design the custom Security extension to authenicate and authorize using the database
1. Is it possible to only display authorized reports for the current user to view by doing custom security extension?

I have been evaluating the Microsoft SQL Server Everywhere Edition and have been trying to create a Crystal Report from it.

Opening a database as read only requires a temp path to be specified. [,,,Db name,,]
Can you tell me what is required to be entered here?
Also - I only have the Express Edition of SQL Server 2005 which won't open an Anywhere Edition database - is there a way of getting the mobile tools for use on the desktop?
