• SQL Server Invalid Data Type error with Subreports

  I have a report with two subreports.  The parameter connecting the report with the subreports is based on a field with a datatype of UniqueIdentifier. If I run each of the subreports by themselves, entering in value for the parameter, they run fine.

• SQL Server Scripting entire DB to multiple files or comparing DB objects

  We are training ourselves to use the new SQL 2005 SQL Server Management Studio. One of the things we do regularly in the earlier SQL Enterprise Manager is to script out all DB objects to individual files. We then use Source Safe to compare the objects from one version of the DB to another to identify where changes have been made. In 2005, although you can script the entire DB, there is no option to create individual files for each object. Does anyone know how to do this, or have a suggestion for another capability of the management studio to compare the objects in two databases I searched all the sources I can find, and no luck s ...Show All
