General Software Development Sql Reporting Services

I dont have time for a lengthy post, so here is some link-love for some great articles that have helped me lately with some data extensions and other custom code I am writing for Sql Server 2005 Reporting Services:

Using SQL Reporting Services 2005 and Forms Authentication with the Whidbey/2.0 SQLMembershipProvider (forms auth isnt default?!?!)

Sql Reporting Service Requires a client Side Active X control in order to display and Print reports; Could anybody tell me where i can get a copy of this. The reason i ask is the environment in my company does not allow users to install active x controls on the fly. This active x control will have to become part of our standard build.

Apprecicate and anticipate any replies

Thanks in advance

The activeX control CAB file is located in the Web-Site's BIN folder. Usually the path is like:

C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL.3\Reporting Services\ReportServer\bin\RSClientPrint.cab

Note: The "MSSQL.3" subfolder name varys depending on install, so it might end with a different number.

Hope this helps,

Lance
