| I have a global variable set as my computers name.I am trying to use this variable as a connection.I have entered the variable in the data source field within the connection manager as @@variablename.It does not seem to recognise the variable even though it is set correctly.Am I missing something? |

You could help others with the same problem if you would post your solution here...
No, you're never too old to Yak'n'Roll if you're too young to die. |

| Sure, I created an expression for my datasource, including my variable: "Data Source=" + @[User::sys_name] + ";Initial Catalog=MIBBilling;Provider=SQLNCLI.1;Integrated Security=SSPI;Auto Translate=False;"I am sure there are other options but this worked for me.Short and sweet! |
