A Service Pack (hotfix) for Service Pack 2?
It appears that we beta-testers didnt do too great a job evaluating Service Pack 2 for Sql Server 2000 Reporting Services (Sql2kRS). There are numerous bugs that have been annoying the early adopters which led MS to publish a Service Pack for their Service Pack. Actually, they call these "Hotfixes" since they typically take far less time to produce than the original service pack (and hopefully contain fewer bugs).
Here is a quick rundown of the fixes (paraphrased a bit):
- Re-add support for the omitted <HTMLViewerStyleSheet> tag which allows you to "skin" the HTML Report rendering output via CSS.
- Re-fixed MHTML rendering re-broken during SP-2. This mostly affected those who scheduled report subscriptions that rendered in HTML and were delivered via email.
- Fixed misc subscription scheduling bugs.
- Fixed some specific CSV rendering bugs.
Anywho....checkout the the KB article for more/better details or just go download the Hotfix and try it out yourself!
Enjoy...
