Receiving garbage in excel when rendered via Subscription

Hi,
I set up a standard subscription and am rendering the report to excel.
After recieving the email, I open the excel report and it displays a bunch of
garbage. Is there a known issue or a patch out for this?Did you install the SQL 2000 Reporting Services SP1?

assume this is the same as Excel exporting garbage? One other item, when we
include the link in the email, the link itself is placed on two lines. The
top line is a hyperlink and the bottom isn't. Meaning, you can't click on it.
We have to place the top line in and then go back and copy the bottom line
and paste it after the first. Can this be fixed?

around the problem in some cases, but unfortunately it is impossible to
control what users select when they create a subscription.
I want to make sure that people were aware of a third-party product,
Proposion Report Adapter for Microsoft Reporting Services and Lotus
Notes/Domino, that fixes this problem and a lot more. It not only
allows you to deliver reports via NATIVE NOTES MAIL, it also allows you
to use Notes/Domino as data sources for reports and/or allows you to
automatically deposit scheduled reports into Notes databases.) See

Rebuilbm not working

Hello
I have:
Windows 2000 server with SP3, SQL standard SP2
After a NT backup restore I want to use REBUILDM.EXE to create the system databases in order to restore the databases.
I get the error “Rebuild Master failed with error -1:”
I am aware of KB 273572 and I have a copy of the original files into a folder on the server. The files are not “Read-only”
But I get the error. Did some research…no luck.
If you experienced this please let me know.
Thanks a lot
Look at the SQL Server errolog and verify that Shared Memory is loaded. If
not, reboot the machine. Rebuildm makes a shared memory connection so if
shared memory is not loaded it will fail.

Re-attaching databases after upgrading to SQL Server Enterprise Edition

Since Upgrading from SQL Standard Edition to SQL Server EE we have been unable to re-attach the database files that we detached before the upgrade, to SQL Server Management studio. We get an error message that reads:

TITLE: Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio

Failed to retrieve data for this request. (Microsoft.SqlServer.SmoEnum)

For help, click: http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink?ProdName=Microsoft+SQL+Server&LinkId=20476

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:

An exception occurred while executing a Transact-SQL statement or batch. (Microsoft.SqlServer.ConnectionInfo)

CREATE FILE encountered operating system error 5(error not found) while attempting to open or create the physical file

Any help with this matter would be truly appreciated. Thank you.

You need to reset the NTFS permisions on the physical files. SQL 2005 locks out the physical files NTFS permissions when the databases are detached.

Ready only Account?

Quick question. I have SQL 2000 with 3 databases on the
server. I want to set up a standard SQL account but I
only want this account to have READ-ONLY privledges
(select) to tables and views and execute on sp's.
Basically this is a standard account we are setting up
that will be used for reporting and if I give this
account/pw out I only want these people to read data and
not change it.
What is the standard practice to set up this account?
Public access only to selected databases? Specific
select and execute privledges that I have to set up (a
pain though because I have alot of tables and views and I
don't want to pick and choose just give select on all
tables and views and execute on SPs)
Thanks!!
-RichardCheck the permissions on public, you want to restrict these. assign the
account db_datareader role, which gives him permissions to read on all
objects

|||You could grant the users in the database db_datareader role.
See: Adding a Member to a Predefined Role in Books Online.
Fixed database roles, which can be created, are defined at the database
level and exist in each database. You can add any valid user account (a
Windows NT 4.0 or Windows 2000 user or group, or a SQL Server user or role)
as a member of a fixed database role. Each member gains the permissions
applied to the fixed database role. Any member of a fixed database role can
add other users to the role
db_datareader : Sees all data from all user tables in the database.
Then, you'd still need to grant execute on the stored procs.
