sql server reporting services:
I created a very simple report just to see how Reporting Services works adn
it shows all the data just fine in the preview inside Visual Studio but whe
I run the report it shows me this error:

Reporting Services Error
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
----

a.. An error has occurred during report processing. (rsProcessingAborted)
Get Online Help
a.. Cannot create a connection to data source 'Northwind'.
(rsErrorOpeningConnection) Get Online Help
a.. Login failed for user 'sa'.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
----
Microsoft Reporting Services

Isn't this weird? I mean, I'm working with a shared data source which
connects properly when I test it and the data gets shwon on the preview so
why doesn't it work?.

I changed the connection settings in the report manager and now it works
fine. Now I have the same problem in a report that I created without a
shared data source and I can't find how to allow saving password.

Changing to Windows authentication isn't the kind of solution I'm looking
for as it should work just fine either way.

Sergio,
In your data source, check for "allow saving password". You should also
consider using windows authentication instead.
