  • I created an example windows service application that includes rsServer. I
    had not tried this before, but it is extremely simple to implement. Though
    not as fancy as ReportBuilder Services, it does the job quite nicely. in Multiple Servers ad a Service Comment by nardmoseley December 2004

  • It is my understanding that Datasets are not thread-safe.

    One solution would be to convert to .rtm files.

    You can try editing the html that is returned to the browser. See the

    I performed some testing here using the Custom Parameters example for the

  • Okay, I see from your next post that you are using RB's PDF device.

    Make sure you are using RB 9.01, it contain a PDF fix.

  • Are you using RB 9.01 and the new RB PDFDevice to generate the PDF?

    There was a bug in RB 9, that sometimes resulted in an empty PDF file.

    the trial version and spend some time with the RB Server Developers Guide
    tutorials and the demo applications.

  • Just to clarify for me.

    1. For the Windows 2000 server, if you change the rbWebTier.ini file, are
    the new values used?

    2. For the Windows 2003 server, if you hard code the WebTier properties with
    the same values…

    a. TrsWebTier.IniSettings.Enabled is True
