how to set password when installing MSDE (was "Newbie to SQL")

Hi Guys,

I am Access user of both BE and FE. I would like to set my BE with SQL

Therefore, as trial I just downloaded MSDE2000A.Exe a Desktop SQL Engine from Microsoft. I need to install it. But due to some technical aspect (which I might not understand) I could not install it. Bcz whenever I am trying to install its setup file, it ask me a strong password. How to set it ? or how to supply it I dont know...

Any help.

Regards,
AshfaqueThis (http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;814463) is what you need (in English).

-PatP|||Thanks Pat,

I installed it successfully. The information page is good. Thanks.

Do you have any other referece web page that would show me how to transfer my Access table data over to this installed SQL server and allow my FE to be still in MS ACCESS.bcz I desined my beautiful forms and its code after a lot of excesize. What are the initial steps I must follow?

With kind regards,
Ashfafque|||I'd suggest using the Access Upsizing Wizard as a start. It isn't a complete solution, but it gives you one heck of a head start! Microsoft has a great "How to (http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;237980)", and there are versions for 2000 (http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;325017) and 2002 (http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;330468).

-PatP|||Again thanks Pat,

Article is very usefule. I will be back if face any problem.

With kind regards,

how to send the reports as an exe file

Hi,

can any one tell me how to send the reports as an exe file. Is there any possibility in ssrs. I have to send all my reports to my client along with the .net application. can any one help me out in this.

Thanks in advanceI doubt this is possible. Why not just deploy the reports on the client's PC?|||

You will probably have to look at building a .net app to run the RDL file, and distributing both the .exe for the .net app and the rdl file.

You may want to check out Project RDL.

http://www.codeproject.com/csharp/rdlproject.asp

The RDL Project is an open source (GPL) C# implementation of the Report Definition Language (RDL) for the .NET environment, by fyiReporting Software.

RDL is an XML based language created by Microsoft with the goal of promoting interoperability of reporting products. Microsoft implemented RDL as part of the Microsoft SQL Server Reporting Services

Hi Andrew,

Thanks

So, your problem is how to deploy your reports to a client?

Your reports need to be published (deployed) to your client's reporting server. Sending the rdl files in an exe (i.e. as an install exe or a zip exe) will not achieve this. I suggest you either make an msi with a custom action to deploy the reports, or you use the report manager on your client's site to upload the reports to the server (the reports can be uploaded from your machine to your customer's reporting server in this way).

Did that make sense?

Thanks for the reply.

I created MSI setup for deplying the reports. can any one tell me how to change the target server. Here I added a webreference of that. but in my client place target server name may be different. how can I make it dynamic. will there be any possiblity?

Thanks

Rahul
