...done in a FLASH!

When the client needs a quick way to output information to their perspective audience, I usually turn to Flash. You can achieve numerous effects with Flash, not to mention remoting and interaction with .NET web services. In my latest Flash endevour, I interacted with an external XML file for the data. It turned out quite well, as this one piece will sit at 3 different intranet sites, read the xml file and based on that particular intranets location, will read the appropriate node. Simple...

The joy of Service Packs!

Problems resolved! After struggling for 2 weeks trying to figure out why SQL Reporting Services would not work, and trying everything from from uninstalling IIS and re-installing, to setting the Network Service account and countless other scenarios....The answer-write underneath my nose. It was as simple as installing Service Pack 2 on the Windows 2003 Server, and poof...like magic, everything worked!

The Beginning...

This is the beginning of my new blog (attempt at blogging). I will have discussions on a wide range of topics, mostly technology related, and my perspectives. let me start off with a perplexing, but I am sure a simple overlooked solution to a problem that we currently have. We have just migrated to a Windows 2003 Server, running Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Enterprise Edition. We enabled IIS in order to install the SQL Reporting Services component of SQL 2005. After running the Reporting Services Configuration tool, which indicates all green and everything is a go, I haveattempted to verify by browsing to 'http://localhost./Reports' with 0 success.

I have googled to no end, only to discover that there are numerous people experiencing the same exact problem with no solution thus far...

I will keep you posted on our progress!
