hi all,

i am having a hell of a time trying to understand how im supposed to use the reporting services integrated with sql server 2005 express - advanced. i have searched high and low throughout vb 2005 express for the relevant controls, and i have searched the management studio trying to find the relevant information. there is no reporting server anywhere that i can see. i simply installed the sqlexpr_adv.exe and assumed that all the relevant features would be automatically installed. i cant find them anywhere (also something about a business intelligence thing? also missing). i would be extremely grateful if somebody could help me

regards

adam

SOLVED!!

before you install sql express advanced, IIS MUST BE INSTALLED! this is extremely important. also, vb web developer express must be installed to create the the reports themselves. if you have alread installed sql express advanced, before IIS, install IIS and then completely remove all traces of sql server advanced on your system and do a clean install (note... not a re-install/repair).

hope it helps someone
regards
adam
