Cannot Get CSV or XML to Render

Hello,

I've just installed SQL Server 2005 Express, and RS (all with SP2). I can run reports fine for HTML, PDF, and Excel, but whenever I specify a format with "CSV" or "XML", I get the following error:

An attempt has been made to use a rendering extension that is not registered for this report serverAn attempt has been made to use a rendering extension that is not registered for this report server

I'd really like these report formats to work. I haven't modified any system configuration files.

Has anyone else seen this error?

Thanks,

Michael

Sorry, Michael.

CSV, XML, and TIFF don't work in Express.

From TechNet: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms365166(SQL.90).aspx

You'll have to upgrade to another version to use those extension.

Jessica,

What's strange is that I ran XML and CSV reports right after getting the report server installed (with SQL Express), and then they just stopped working the next day when I shut down and then re-started my machine. VERY strange indeed. That lends some argument that it is possible. There were a few points in that link you sent me (thanks for the link, BTW), that were wrong. For example, I can reference my local report server with http://localhost/Reports, whereas the page says that I need to reference my report server with http://localhost/Reports$sqlexpress. That was not correct, or is not correct with SP2. So I am wondering if they changed the allowed formats too. Thanks for the info.

Michael
