Hello,

I have two questions:

1. When I debug my application it seems it deploys reports to report
manager, how can I prevent that from happening, I would like to deploy when I
chose deploy command only?
2. I have a report which has many sub-report, when I deploy sub-reports are
deployed to report manager to and they become visible in the report manager
screen., so user my chose and try to run them, I would like to make only my
main report be visible on the report manager, is there anyway to accomplish
this?

Thanks,

Jim H,

Assuming you're using 2000

1. I'm a little confused about your intent in #1, but you can go into
the project configuration manager and change the Debug Local settings
and configure the target server. Keep in mind, if you build the
project, it will try to deploy the reports somewhere. If you're just
trying check out formatting, use the preview tab.

2. You'll need to deploy reports using a script leveraging rs.exe is
you're looking to automate configuration changes to the reports as part
of deployment. Check out Jasper Smith's tool for generating scripts to
manage RS. http://www.sqldbatips.com/showarticle.asp?ID=62
