• Visual Studio Team System Work Items, Documents, and Reports folders show RED X's in Team Explorer -- WHY?

  I can connect to my Team Foundation Server just fine from Team Explorer, but the Work Items, Documents, Reports, and --intermittently -- the Version Control folders under my Team Project all have RED X's in the corner of them and are inaccessible.  The tooltip and toolbar buttons seem to suggest that it is "refreshing" (for example, the "Stop Refresh" toolbar button lights up), but the unknown activity rarely completes, and when it does, the RED X's remain. I read another post suggesting that it may be a permissions issue, but it happens even when I'm logged on as Administrator, so I'm discounting that theory. Am I doing something ...Show All

  My IDE takes a long time to start debuging an application.  Sometimes it hangs and it seems to be loading VISUALUI.TTF hundreds of times. It also is looking for a webprojectitems.old that is not on the disk. And, I wouldn't suggest loading a project from a network share. As soon as I removed the font, the IDE started working *super* fast. ...Show All

  Hi all, I'm kinda new to reporting services, and I would like to know if I can generate reports so that the data inside them can be updated directly to the SQL Server by the client.

I want my client to be able to update the data on those tables directly on the report, as he sees it. Can this be done by SQL Server 2005 Reporting Services Thanks... Nope...you couldn't do this right in the report (like you could in a datagrid)...Instead, you can add hyperlink items to each row that could redirect you t ...Show All

• SQL Server SQL Server and RMS Data Access

  I have heard that SQL Server 2005 has built in access to Legacy data.  I was wondering if this was true and if it applied to all CRUD operations for RMS data files running under the OpenVMS operating system. In my current project we are going to be using SQL Server (2000 or 2005 we haven't decided yet) as our datastore.  The purpose of this project is to replace an existing system that currently runs under OpenVMS using RMS data files.  The tricky part of this is that I need to to be able to perform all CRUD operations on both the SQL Server database and the legacy RMS data files at the same time (preferrably within the ...Show All
