How to run Reporting service in MS-Access environment?

Hi

Please someone tell me, is it possbile to run Reporting service in MS-Access environment?
I mean to say i have to use MS-Access as user interface to design and generate report
(instead of Visual studio IDE) and the Sql server 2005 should be Report Server.
If it is possible then how can i implement it.

Thanks and Regards

Altaf Nizamuddin

Hi Altaf,

It is possible to design reports in Access, and you can import it with BIDS with some restrictions. Well, i never tried, but if you can import the report viewer control in Access and you write a custom code behind, then you should be able to render the report. Again, I never tried it, just an idea.

Regards,

Janos

ps.: maybe I'll try it Wink

Hi Adolf,

Thanks a lot but it will never work in my sceneraio,

The article explains "How to Migrate Access reports to reporting services", but i want to run Reporting service in MS-Access environment, I mean to say i have to use MS-Access as user interface to design and generate report (instead of Visual studio IDE) and the Sql server 2005 should be Report Server.

Thanks and Regards

Personally I'd just take the hit on learning how to create reports in RS.sql

How to run multiple store procedures in SQL Reporting Service

Can we run two store procedures in the Query String under the Dataset section
of SQL Reporting Service 2005? It seems like the Query String only allow one
store procedure. Ww want to use a separate store procedure to open a
symmetric key before we run the second store procedure to retrieve the
sensitive data.What about writing a thrid procedure calling the two others ?

How to retrieve a report in SQL Reporting Server

Is there a way to read the rdl file that is already deployed on the Report
Server to modify it? I have some reports on RS but don't have the original
rdl file.
Thanks
AyadAyad,
Open Report Manager (http://localhost/reports), select your report and
click the 'Properties' tab. You'll see a section on the page called
"Report Definition". Click the Edit link and you'll have the RDL.

How to restrict editing of SQL Server 2005 data via ODBC link?

I have a sql server 2005 database with Delphi 2006 in the front end and for querrying and reporting we use MS Access 2003 by connecting to this database via ODBC connection. I recently found out that the SQL Server 2005 data connected thus can be edited (updated) from MS Access. I do not want end users to modify/update the SQL Server 2005 data from MS Access while I also want them to have the ability to insert/update/delete rights using the appropriate application interface. For now, I am handling this by creating a user id that is not permitted to update, insert and delete and using the same account in the ODBC. Is there a way in SQL Server 2005 you can control insert/update/delete rights for all users that will be applicable only in the ODBC mode?

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Hi Thulo,

If I understand your question correctly, you want to be able to grant permissions to database objects based on the type of the client (ODBC, OLEDB, SqlClient, etc.), is this correct? Unfortunately, this isn't possible by design - the main goal is to provide the same functionality no matter what client is used. Instead, the SQL Server security model recommends what you are actually already doing - grant permissions "per database user". The user is the main permissions-related abstract here (having in mind the schemas, too). The user is related to the corresponding login object, which controls the connectivity part (having in mind endpoints permissions, too).

I understand that the user-based permissions concept might seem like more work, but it would pay off long term when the requirements to your application change.
