• SQL Server Access DB2 on AS/400 using IBM OLE DB Provider

  Hi, I am using the IBM OLE DB Provider (IBMDASQL) provided with Client Access (IBM) to access a DB2 database on an AS/400 (iSeries). Using an OLE DB Source in the data flow and Access Mode set to "OpenRowset" this works fine (even though I think it is quite slow). However, when I change the Access Mode to "SQL Command" my data flow fails at the OLE DB Source component - not giving me any meaningful error description (only the mysterious "... th ...Show All

• Visual Basic Disappearing Data Sources

  I just installed the VS2005 RC and now my Data Sources window loses its contents whenever I open a form or user control.  I have 2 data sources defined, and they show up fine if I don't have a form as the active window in the IDE.  As soon as I click on a form or usercontrol window, the data sources disappear and the data sources toolbar becomes grayed out.  It's slightly different than when there are no data sources in the p ...Show All

• SQL Server Custom code assembly with config file

When I preview the report everything works fine, but when I publish it I get this error: Abso ...Show All
