Deployment Question - problem with datasources...

Hi,
We have written a number of reports we would like to move to our Integration/Test Servers.
These reports, which access a Linked Informix database through a System ODBC DSN, work fine on
my development XP machine with a local MS SQL Server 2000.
Our Integration/Test system consists of:
- a MS SQL Server 2000 Server running on NT. On this box we created an ODBC DSN just like that on development.
- an IIS ASP.NET machine with .NET 1.1 Framework.
[Note: We did not install Report Manager and plan to access our Reports by URL.]
Problem: After modifying the ReportingServices Datasource to use our integration/test server, building,
then deploying to the target server we are getting the following error:
ERROR [IM002] [Microsoft][ODBC Driver Manager] Data source name not found and no default driver specified

Has anyone encountered this problem? And if so, what did you do to fix it? Many Thanks for any ideas!
So how did you install Reporting Services on your integration/testing server? This error happens when viewing the report using a URL? Can you access it through the RS web services?

Dependencies

how and when are dependencies created. I know when tables are linked in a
view then a dependency is created what about stored proceedures?
Thanks
Dependencies are created when objects are created altered. These include
the list of all objects in the current database that the object directly
references.
Note that dependency information can be inaccurate when objects are not
created in proper dependency order. For example, you can create a proc
before the referenced table is created. No record of this dependency is
created in this case. Similarly, if you drop and recreate the table, the
dependency info is deleted but not recreated.
Hope this helps.
