  Does anyone know how to disable the option "All" in a parameter which is in a 2005 reporting Services Report based on a 2005 AS Cube Thanks in advance, Pieter Yes that is correct, but it does not give me the solution for my problem. From Microsoft I got this information: "The <Select All> option in the parameter drop down is only a UI item. This will be removed with the SP1 release. " So 'll wait for the SP I guess!

• .NET Development Using returned value from SqlDataSource1

  I, a newbie, can't seem to figure this out or find the answer on forums. Any help you could offer me is appreciated. VS2005, C#, Web forms.

• Visual Studio Team System TFS Error Branching... SQL Error 8152 ...String or binary data would be truncated...

  I've put about 5GB worth of data into TFS. Had problems with some paths exceeding the 260 character path limit of the windows shell & #define's etc. (I think NTFS has a 4k limit on paths or something...) Anyway, managed to remove offending directories during check-in, & all was fine. At some point, I did a branch & all was fine. Earlier today, I went to do another branch & it complained about: SQL Error 8152 ...String or binary data would be truncated... etc.!!! I suspect the path names being too long, but this is silly if that's the case. It let me put the files in there in the first place, why Can't ...Show All
