I am new to reporting services. Just installed the BI Dev Studio onto my SQL 05 machine. Everything is working fine. I can via the wizard create a basic report that connect to a SQL data store, runs a query, renders etc.
My problem - the BI Studio will not give me anything active in the toolbox. If I pull up the toolbox it shows me the general tab and that's it. If I do a 'show all' on the toolbox it will show me all available tabs in VS...including the one I want 'Report Items'. However all controls in the Report Items (pointer, textbox, line, table, matrix, etc.) are grayed out. As far as I can tell this means I would have to directly change the RDL in order to customize my report. I feel like I am missing something basic here.
Thanks in advanced for any insight.
Basic to say the least...Took me a couple hours for me to decide I might need to look around and install additional components from the install disc...which made me decide to close my BI Studio....which promptly asked me if I wanted to stop debugging...which prompted me to scream.
Not sure how debug started running in the first place I would have never thought to run debug on RDL. Anyway lame post. Sorry.
