TypeGuessRows

If problem with data format when loading an Excel file to Excel, it might help to change the value of TypeGuessRows in the registry: 

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Jet\4.0\Engines\Excel

The value of this key is how many rows in the Excel file that is read to determine what data type each column has.

If you set it to 0 (zero) all rows is read.

The default value is 8 or 25 (hex 19), not sure which.

Missing right border on table in RS-report

In some RS reports I have had problems that the right border on a table is not visible on a RS-server.

(It looks ok in development environment, VS2005,  it also is ok when the report is exported to a PDF file from the RS-server).

 

The only workaround I got to work is to add one more column to the right of this table, and merge it with the previous one, and make it very thin.

Unwanted extra pages when exporting RS report to PDF

If there is unwanted extra pages when a RS report is exported to a PDF file, the problem might be solved by making sure that the width of the body, header and footer is smaller than the width of the report itself.

In Reporting Services I have had big problems to compare RS parameters defined as Date/Time with columns in an Oracle Database defined as Date.

The problem is when searching with:

The workaround I use is:

AND LMS_LOGINLOG.LOGINDATE      >= :param_FromDate
AND LMS_LOGINLOG.LOGINDATE -1 <= :param_ToDate
