hi all, my report server is installed in machine 1 , after i made a report
which the source is from machine 2, the broswer hanged and report the
following error:

An error has occurred during report processing. (rsProcessingAborted) Get
Online Help
Query execution failed for data set '(myDB from machine2)'.
(rsErrorExecutingCommand) Get Online Help
'DATABASEPROPERTYEX' is not a recognized function name.

is it because the version of the sql server didnot support the new reporting
service?
cos my boss said sql server in machine2 does not support reporting service

if no, any method to solve the problem?

You are accessing a SQL Server 7.0 or older, correct? Just install SP1 of RS
2000 and it will work.

The workaround for RS 2000 without SP1 is as follows:
Go to the "Data Options" tab of the "Dataset" dialog in report designer. On
the Data Options tab you will see that all settings contain "Auto" (and
report server would therefore try to auto-detect the collation settings from
the database server).
Replace the Auto-settings with the following settings (e.g. if your SQL 7.0
database collation is "SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS"):
Collation = Latin1_General
Case sensitivity = false
Kanatype sensitivity = false
Width sensitivity = false
Accent sensitivity = true

This works from a Visual Studio perspective. But we still have the problem
once the report is deployed. Are there connection settings that need to be
set in the rdl code?
