When is Part 2 published?

Hi

Just a note to let you know that when I tried to run the script SQL said the database needed to be at least 3MB in size.

I changed the size in the create database command to 3072KB and all went well.

Is there a way to pass parameters via querystring?

I want to call the report froma web page that has parameters that user will select to run the report?

Never mind I figured it out. Now I need to find out how to hide the top header row in the viewer ..the section that displays the parameters...

Hi all,

Header and Footers do not take fields related to a dataset. I have to make them refer to databound fields that are located within the body.

When my databind control does not arise, my Header connected to this control is not posted.

It is normal, but it is my problems

Let’s take for example of invoice:
- an invoice of 30 lines with a pagination of 10 lines per pageµ
- a table of Totals which follows my first table containing the lines of my invoice.
- The header contains the address of the customer to be invoiced (the posted infos are connected on the first table)

If I arrive on the page 4 which posts the totals, I do not have any more the address of the customer who posts himself.
On the 4th page, the header of the table of details is not repeated as there is no more row to display; therefore the header of the report doesn't hold any info anymore.

Do you have an idea ?

Thanks

You have done a fantastic job for newbie like me to start off. Thank you very much.

I really appreciate this article,
However very important step missing from part one
when setting up a shared data source . You do not mention the initial catalog which is required

Hi, Great Article!!!
Could you help-me to find a solution to my problem?

I need to make a report where I can switch among more or less 15 DataSet with diferents servers and Sql Server Database name.
The report will always be the same, just the DataSet will change.

Thank you a lot!
