Yes I do, I was looking at the folders directly. Thanks again Jasper!! Can I ask one more question? I have uploaded sample reports to the report server and everything looks ok, the query for each report is predefined. Now realisticly, most of us cant really predefine the query for our reports due to different criteria. So aside from passing parameters, using stored procedures, how else can you alter the query for a report? Can you set the Select statement programmatically?
Yes. Have a look at the topic "Walkthrough – Using a Dynamic Query in a Report" in BOL ms-help://MS.RSBOL80.1033/RSAMPLES/htm/rss_tutorials_v1_7qr7.htm
