• SQL Server DateTime parameter format

  Hi everybody A quick question - is it possible to present DateTime report parameters with specified format. Let's say instead of '9/3/2005 12:00 AM' i'd like to show '9/3/2005' only. Plus maybe it's possible to plug in some sort of a popup calendar. Thanks for response, Konstantin At least in RS 2000 if you define the parameter as string (instead of datetime) then it'll be shown in the format that you want. And I don't know if the dat ...Show All

• Smart Device Development run program automatically when cradled

  Is there a way to automatically run a program when a user cradles/sync's I've found two solutions that seem like they should work, each with a shortcoming. They both use CERunAppAtEvent: 1) NOTIFICATION_EVENT_SYNC_END - This kind of works, but you have to connect the device to the cradle (sync), then manually sync to get it to fire the event. 2)NOTIFICATION_EVENT_NET_CONNECT - This is the most promising event, h ...Show All

• SQL Server Bug in managing packages

  I have come across numerous situations, generally not recreateable, where BI studio crashes when I change a package, generally when deleteing something. The latest was a package that was copied. When I tried to delet components it crashed, I tracked it down to a data viewer on a flow. Deleting that would cause the crash. It seems to me that there is some basic error handling missing from the package management code. I would love to sned th ...Show All
