SQL Server 2008 R2 Express - Data Tab

  • Hello,

    In SQL Server 2005 SSRS, there are 3 tabs Data, Layout, and Preview. But, in SQL Server 2008 R2 Express, I, ONLY, see Design and Preview tabs. Where did the Data tab go? How do I get that in Express edition? Yur help is appreciated. Thanks in advance.

  • I am not sure about Express, but the data has been moved to a tab that typically lives on the left side of the screen right next to the toolbox. The tab is named "Report Data."

    If you don't see it, go to View >> Report Data.

  • Thank you Daniel for your prompt reply. Yes, I do see the Report Data menu on the left panel of the page which to me is same as what we called 'Datasets' in 2005. But, what I am looking for is how to see the T-SQL codes that runs based on the Datasets defined for the reports. And, I am using Express ed. and I am NOT seeing that Data (at least that is what we called in 2005) in 2008 R2 Express. Any idea? I appreciate you getting back to me. Thanks!

  • Check this screenshot.

    I'm using full VS 2008 pro, but you should still get that menu in express.

  • If you want to RUN the query, then hit the query... menu from the same popup screen.

  • Thank you!!!!

    This makes a perfect sense. thanks for all your effort. I appreciate. Case closed.
