question about configuring SQL 2005 Reporting Services

  • Hi, i'm trying to configure reporting services (on a seperate server from the db server)

    I'm getting this error when trying to make the database connection, and this is even using the sa account for SQL credentials. thanks

    System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException: Could not locate entry in sysdatabases for database 'EdgeSightTempDB'. No entry found with that name. Make sure that the name is entered correctly.

  • I didn't know you could actually do this, perhaps you can't! I'm sure a former colleague tried this and decided you couldn't - I'd be interested to know the correct answer - sorry this doesn't help your post.

  • Well while configuring you can also script the portion. Try scripting it out and then run it.
