    hi,

    how can I display/show using a textBox expression the shared data source NAME currently used by a report?

    Something like

    ="Report data source " & datasource.name.value & "."

    thank you for your help.

    Kindest Regards,

    Here's all BOL has to say:

    The DataSources collection represents the data sources referenced in a published report definition. You may get different values for these properties in preview mode than when you deploy and view a published report.

    The following table describes the variables within the DataSources collection.

    Variable Type Description

    DataSourceReference

    String

    The full path of the data source on the report server. For example, /DataSources/AdventureWorks.

    Type

    String

    The type of data provider for the data source. For example, SQL.
