Issue with Report Model on Join Two Tables from Different DB

  • Hi,

    I am trying to create a report model in 2008 to join two tables from different database on the same server.

    I have no problem to bring in the tables. But I got error message that complaining one table is invalid object when I try to generate the Report Model. It seems that the Report Model can only accept table from one data source.

    Hope someone has seen this before and have solution for it.

    Thanks in advance.

  • I don't have a solution for you but an easy workaround is to create a view in one of the databases that is basically a 'passthrough' to the table in the other database, allowing you to use the view from the same source as the other table. It'll get you going until someone can help with the real issue, I haven't worked with Report Models past the basics of 'this is a report model'. Most of my work is direct reporting.
