• SQL Server Cannot shut down VS after using report designer

  Routinely when I use BIDS to work on a report design, I cannot close BIDS because I get a message box that says: Microsoft Visual Studio cannot shut down because a modal dialog is active. Close the active dialog and try again. Of course, there is no visible dialog open. I actually have to terminate the process from task manager. I do not get this problem when using SSIS or SSAS.

• 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
