deploying reports database to multiple servers

Hi,
i have some 35 customers, all of whom need a copy of the reports i have designed
how do i quickly and simply roll out my reports. the databases are generally , but not
always given the same name, and the user credentials will be different
but the reports need to be the same.

is this possible?

Regards,

Russ

You have two basic options:

1.) Script out creating the reports in the database and provide the scripts to your users.

2.) Detach your database, and give it to your users. They can then attach the database, and configure RS to use that database via the config tool. If they do this, they have to be sure to leave the name of the databases that same.

Cheers John,

im wondering how easy it is to do option 1. is there an example available that you know of?

Regards,

Russ
