Here's a query cobbled together from various sources that gives you a fair bit of info including report execution duration. If you've used a shared schedule then the schedule name...

Hi,

The query results you've provided are not enough to reproduce your problem. When I set up a report like this, there are only two rows and the second row background...

Hi,

I've created a test report with a table in it. I've set the font to Arial Unicode MS. I've used Chinese characters because I'm pretty sure they are multibyte.

I was one of the "myth" believers and now I've learned something. Whilst it might have been a bit painful getting...

I think that pretty much summarises this interesting discussion.

Is this not the same question that we've had three times now?

Maybe the addition of set XACT_ABORT OFF
