    - Generating BorderColor and BorderStyle as an underline I have a matrix report where the columns contains the days of the month and the rows contain various Income Statement Categories. No totaling or subtotaling is being done in the matrix. The matrix is only being used to automatically spread the data over rows and columns and for display. My problem is that I would like add a solid black line above certain rows passed in such "Fees Total". I've set the BorderSytle to Solid for Top and I have a formula in BorderColor along the lines of =iif( First(Fields!cashflow.Value) = "Fees Billed Total" or First(Fields!cashflow.Value) ="Unwinds Total","Black","Gainsboro") This works well except on days in which there are no Fees. In these cases the black line is not generated. I tried adding "or (Fields!cashflow.Value) is nothing to the expression but this underlines every empty cell in the report. Is there a way to generate a line such as this for a row containing empty values for some columns? Thanks Dave Tag: Trail to Licensed Version of SQL Reporting Services? Tag: 18548

    - Localize Report I've read several places that there isn't a way to localize reports at run time of a report, so I wanted to ask what is the "best practice" of deploying the reports if you have some clients that might want to view 'English' reports and others who might want to view 'German' reports. I'd like to avoid having duplicate reports, but it really sounds like this is my only option. Any ideas you have or suggestions of articles to read on the topic would be greatly appreciated!

    - Matrix Pagination Hello, I've been developing a matrix report in Reporting Services, and for some reason, pagination does not work. Instead of getting page breaks when the report runs over the page height, the report renders as a single page. PDF export seems to work fine (i.e., the pagination works correctly), but regular HTML display of the report does not. I've checked every parameter that I could find -- KeepTogether, page height, etc. -- but the matrix does not paginate. Am I missing something? What else should I check?

    - IIF Execution I'm having a problem getting this iif statement to execute properly. =IIF(Fields!AlarmLevel.Value = 0, "", Code.rptUtilities.GetPeakLevel(Fields!ThresholdFormat.Value, Fields!SpectrumFormat.Value, CType(Fields!Spectrum.Value, Byte()), CType(Fields!Threshold.Value,Byte())) ) It seems as though it executes both the true and false parts and my textbox always shows #Error when it should have evaluated to "". The logic above is correct because I have done this IIF(Fields!AlarmLevel.Value = 0, "1", "2") and it correctly displays on the report. GetPeakLevel will never work if the AlarmLevel is 0, so I figured I could conditionally execute GetPeakLevel. I know that is executing true and false part because I can place a try catch in GetPeakLevel and return "" when it catches the error. This is not useful though as any level other than 0 that catches an error would return "". Does anyone know if this behavior is by design, or a bug.

    - Table header overlapping with table content Hi Group, In a report, I have a subreport containing a table. The table has a header with "RepeatOnNewPage = True" so that it will be repeated on each new page. The report is being called from the code and returns a PDF document (with Response.BinaryWrite(<byte array>) ). which is in turn displayed to the user. Everything goes fine except that on some pages the table header overlaps the table content, so the first 3-4 lines of content become unreadable... Unfortunately I could not tell whether there is a pattern or not in how often the two of them overlap. Did anybody get this behaviour ? Thanks for any hints ! Andrei.

    - Problem summing a calculated field Any help with this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance. I have a field in my db that is a string field that holds numeric data (salesperson quota). My report is grouped as follows: Group Header 1 - Territory Group Header 2 - Sales Person (hidden) Detail - (hidden) Group Footer 2 - displays salesperson data and total sales Group Footer 1 - summation of territory info. The problem i am having is the summation of the territory quota. Since it is a string, my footer 2 expression for quota is: =format(convert.toint32(Fields!sal_class.Value),"c") in order to show as currency. How do I sum the quota data in the group footer 1.

    - Daily Caching I have set up a data-drive subscription to do a null report on a report that takes 3 minutes to run. I have it set up to run at 3 am and it works fine. My question is when a user runs it at 6 am, does it use what I cached plus the new data, or does it re-cache the whole thing? This report is intense and I really do not want to run it during the day if I don't have to. If it constantly re-caches the report, would creating a snapshot on a schedule be the better option?

    - customizing parameter layout Is there any way to customize the way parameters are laid out? It seems there's not much control beyond order, label, and data type. I'm talking about setting the width, location, color, etc. Specifically, my problem right now is that I need to have 4 parameters down the first column, and 5 parameters down the second column, but I can't figure out a way to do that. I tried to add a "spacer" hidden parameter, but that didn't work. It sure would be nice to have a parameter designer so we can customize the layout if we wanted.

    - Basic Security I am trying to understand the basic security that RS uses. During install, a userid is used to install/create the databases. That userid is then tied to the basic services, like scheduling etc... Is this correct? Are all services using that first-supplied ID? After that when users run a report with a connection that has the credentials stored, are those the credentials used for the database access? I am currently using RS and have 2 shared connections (one to live dB and one to Test dB), both with stored credentials. Is is safe to assume that any report activity using that connection will show that userid? I just want to make sure I can track down problems when they arise. Thanks.

    - ISA or Reporting Services Inserting Unnecessary Port Number The machine which runs our Reporting Services has five other websites on it. Reporting services runs under port 8086, which is governed by our ISA server. An IP address translates the xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx to include the 8086. While this seems to work perfectly, parts of SQL Reports so not. For example, when I click the "Site Settings" the URL has had the :8086 added into this unnecessarially. Other parts of the site (for example, clicking a data source) do not have the 8086 in there. If I manually strip the 8086 out of there, everything works perfectly. I have searched the directories from MSSQL onward for the string "8086" and so the configuration files are not at fault. I imagine it's ISA but I'm not sure. In ISA we tried to use Link Translation to convert any xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:8086 entries to drop the port number but to no avail. In fact, we can't get the Link Translation to do anything other than pop an error message asking for no entires including '*' of which there are none. Please let me know if anyone has an insight into this issue. Any ideas will be immensely appreciated. Tag: Trail to Licensed Version of SQL Reporting Services? Tag: 18393

When the report pages it sometimes breaks after the first or second row of the three. I would like to have the three rows always on the same page. I can not find a keep together property where I can bind the three rows together and have them display as a unit. Does anyone have any thoughts on the best approach to do this within the table structure? Thanks, George Tag: Trail to Licensed Version of SQL Reporting Services? Tag: 18392

    - Adding a new static row to a matrix adds a column as well In a matrix, when I add a static row it adds another column. I don't understand this behavior. For example, take a Matrix, define a column group and a row group (just the initial columns and rows groups, just give them each a grouping expression), then right-click on the data area and do "add row". From the "add column" behavior, which adds another column to the right of the one existing one, I'd expect the row behavior to be to add a row below the current one. But in addition to that, it adds a new column to the left of the current one. I really don't get why this is, and it's driving me nuts!

    - Uninstallation problem - missing .DLL I am attempting to uninstall a version of SQLRS so that I can install the developer edition. The previous version installed, Standard Edition, was not installed by me. It seems to only have the help files installed; there is no Report Server, Report Manager, or SQLRS databases. I am not sure why this is, as it was installed before I started working with the box. When I attempt to uninstall the Standard version, I get the following error: "Product: Microsoft SQL Server 2000 Reporting Services Standard Edition -- Error 1723. There is a problem with this Windows Installer package. A DLL required for this install to complete could not be run. Contact your support personnel or package vendor. Action Do_LogInstallStart, entry: Do_LogInstallStart, library: C:\DOCUME~1\xxxx\LOCALS~1\Temp\2\MSI1.tmp" Of course it doesn't specifiy which DLL, and the uninstall then fails. When I attempt to run Setup.exe for the new version, I get a message saying that I need to uninstall the previous version of SQLRS before I can install this version. I cannot upgrade or uninstall with the Setup.exe wizard. Any ideas? I am thinking of just deleting all of the SQLRS registry entries and attempting to install if I cannot resolve this error.

    - Displaying a zero instead of NULL I am using the expression below to display a zero (number 0) instead of NULL =IIF(ISNOTHING(SUM(FIELDS!Dis.Value)),0, SUM(FIELDS!Dis.Value)) Whats wrong in this ? It gives me a blank but NO ERROR .. Thanks Tag: Trail to Licensed Version of SQL Reporting Services? Tag: 18387

I have a valid SQL Server 2000 license on a Windows 2003 Server.

I have a VS 2003 licensed copy on my desktop.

I have the 120 day eval CD set with the SQL Server Reporting Services
Trail CD. I don't have an MSDN subscription.

If I install the Reporting Services Trail will it automagically become
licensed?

If the Trial does not get adopted as a licensed version I guess I need
to score the CD media somewhere - correct?

I see there is a SP1 for download, might it convert the Trail to a
licensed version if installed on a SQL Server 2000 licensed server?
Thanks!

The trial version will expire at 120 days. You do need to get the media. The
SP1 updates it but does nothing for the version (i.e. it is still a trial
version).
