report description

Hi,
How can I display the report description on the report itself?
Have been looking over the books online but can't find the answer there.
Maybe its not supported?
regards,Please clarify the question.

Thanks for replying!
In the properties dialog of a report there is a 'Description' field in which
we are setting with text that describes the report's purpose.
Basically, I'm looking for a way to add this description field in a textbox
on the report, such that the description text is printed on the report. Is
there a global object collection which exposes this property?
example: Globals!reportName displays the report name, is there something
similar for the description?
regards,

textbox to your report that contains the description.

Report Building

Can you build reports using SQL Express w/o SQL 2005. If so how, the online books are not making this very clear.You can use Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Express Edition with Advanced Services.

But this is only capable for local relational data:

-Run SQL Server Reporting Services reports on local relational data.

Replication's books

Hi,
I 'am looking for interesting SQL Server books on replication especially for
2005.
Thanks in adavance for advices,
Laurent
Hilary is the main man for Replication Books.
Check out this link for his Snapshot and Transactional book:
http://www.nwsu.com/0974973602p.html. I know he's working on a merge volume
(think it's finished) and he'll be able to update you on any plans for a SQL
2005 volume.

Try looking at Server Express instead of using Access as the
Subscriber.

|||As far as I recall, Hilary does have a chapter on heterogenous subscribers.
As Mark points out, in the sql world we often replace Access with MSDE/SQL
Server Express and if you can use the SQL Server method, then there will be
more replication functionality available to use but this may or may not be
possible in your case.
