pdf instead of html as default output format

Hi all,
I would like to output all reports in pdf format instead of html.
I dont want to allow users to choose an export format.
So, if they access an URL and fill some textboxes with appropriated
parameters I can send them a ready-to-print PDF file in Internet Explorer.
Is it possible?
(I´m assuming all clients uses IE browser and Acrobat Reader plugin).
thanks a lot!One way you can do it is in the url of the report. You can add at the end of
your report url:
&rs:Command=Render&rs:format=pdf
Since it is in the url you have to be careful how you open it. I just open
the report in a new windows and it will actually render the report in the
adobe acrobat reader progam so there is no url the user can change. You
could embed it in an iframe on a page to display to a user as well.

Patching WMSDE db's

Howdy,
Working on sql sp4 patching, we have one db that is an MSDE hybrid..WMSDE,
which is what ships with WSUS. If installed as the default on a Windows 200
3
server what sql version is it at, and has anyone had any experience with
patching this with MSDE SP4?
thxExperiencing the same issue on a WSUS server. ISS Internet Scanner says it
needs SQL SP4, but SP4 will not install. Anyone know if there is a version
of SP4 specifically designed for WMSDE? or whether or not WMSDE can be patc
hed at all?

Password: case sensitive

I installed SQL 2000 with default sort order. I though the password for SQL
logins is case-sensitive but it is not. Is that correct?
Thanks.Yes ...the passwords are not case sensitive... because of the collation
level . I beleive you might be able to change the collation for the password
column in sysxlogins table. Not tried it out but might be interesting if it
can be done
