Can this be fixed by manually editing the rdl? I have tried however I
receive an error stating that Parameter name: Top must be between 0 and
85.33333in, when I change it to .5in, 1.5in I get ...is not a valid value.
Anyone, please help, I have created 11 pages and don't want to recreate them
as it failed on the last page.
Thanks for any help in this matter.Resolved. Yes this can be fixed by manually editing the rdl.

Deployment Help

I'm trying to test my ASP.NET application. Everything is working to the point of getting to my login page to open. When I try to login I receive and error that the database does not exist or access is denied. I used the developer version of SQL Server to create the database and installed the MSDE on my test PC. Then I copied the mdf and ldf files to the new PC. Is there something else I should be doing? Or any suggestions?

Thank you,::Then I copied the mdf and ldf files to the new PC

did you "attach" the database ??

hth|||The test PC only has the MSDE installed. I don't know of a way to run the attach sp without query analyzer, is there a way?

Thank you,|||I tested, and I can connect the SQL Server database to a Access adp. Would this mean that I should be able to connect to my ASP.NET web pages? Could there be a problem with my connection string when I moved the app to the new PC? What is the simplest connect string to a SQL Server database, so I can test it?

Thanks you any suggestions,|||Can you install SQL Server tools (only)?
That would be easier to attach a db via Enterprise Manager (right-click DB / all tasks).|||I was trying to do this as if those tools were not available. I read that it was possible, but I cannot find the listing again.

Thank you,sql

Deploying Report Model Error

Is your report server up and running. Usually it's on http://localhost/reportserver. Do you get an error when you access it?

If you get Service Unavailable, it sometimes means that ASP.Net is not configured correctly. This can happen if the IIS was installed AFTER the .Net Framework 2.0 was installed. Usually what addresses this is to run "aspnet_regiis -iru" from your Windows\Microsoft.Net\Frameworks\v2.0.xxxxx\ folder.

My Report Server is up and running and I can access it. I am also the admin.
I recently tried creating a new data source from the Report Server with the following results.

The Report Server Web Service is unable to access secure information in the report server. Please verify that the WebServiceAccount is specified correctly in the report server config file. (rsAccessDeniedToSecureData) Get Online Help

II am guessing the problem is in IIS but I don't know for sure.
Thanks for you help

|||Actually, the problem is with some change in the machine account used to encrypt decrypt data. You either need to restore the symmetric key used when you set up the server for the first time or reset the keys in the database. These actions can be done by the Reporting Services configuration tool or the rskeymgmt command line utility.

> Thanks.|||Looks like the Report Server web service cannot connect to the database. Is
this SQL Server 2005? Is so, run the configuration utility to set up a
backend database for RS. If it's SQL 2000, you may have to run Rsactivate to
provide correct database connection details.

still be there.
