• SQL Server SQL Server 2005

  I have just recently downloaded and installed vs2004/ss2005.  So now I have the version of ss that comes with vs2005 and the developer edition of ss.  I have been able to work with  sqlexpress thru vs2005 but not with the developer edition.  When I engage the configuration manager which is what I guess to perform the same function as the enterprize manager in ss2000, I am unable to find my databases.  What am I missing here   How am supposed to work with the developer edition Thanks, Fred H ...actually, that's http://blogs.msdn.com/sql_protocols . ...Show All

• Visual Studio Tools for Office KB 907417 & 908002

  Hi; Asking new because I think this got lost in the message it was a reply to... Just to confirm, if I have run the latest windows update and it shows no updates for Word, then the fixes in KB907417 should be on my machine - correct I have never run the fix in KB907417 and on my dev machine it has version 7.10.5077.0 but my test system, which shows no pending office updates, has 7.10.3191.0. So it looks like I do have to install it. Do we run this same update for Word 2002 and Word 2000 Or is there a different update in their cases And for our customers, I assume we have to point them at this fix Or will it be included ...Show All

• SQL Server Reporting Services Performance

  Hi, I'm just wondering if anyone else has had any problems with reporting services when generating reports. I have a rather large report (approx 5000 rows) and to be fair there are alot of links to other tables. However it takes 5-10 minutes to generate this report. If I manually pull the data from the database, perform the aggregations and all the table joins, it takes under 10 seconds to complete and I seriously doubt that rendering the table to put the data in takes 10 minutes to do. Any Ideas I have the following task to investigate: which server will need more resources at the time of reports execution ...Show All
