ok, your timeouts are not caused by compression and not caused by option-parameters.

my timeouts in the past always resulted in unavailable ressources on the machine running sql-server.

hmmmm... i'm running...

ok.

with query analyzer, run sp_configure and check the general option-values. check the wait- and timeout-options.

hi kevin,

at first try to switch of any compression on the file system.

compression on data or log-files often causes timeouts.

that may help.

cheers, peter

caution...

today you can only use one data provider each report in sql server reporting services. this is not business-intelligence. use chrystal, better businessobjects.
