Changing the spinningwheel.gif

Has anyone had any luck changing the default spinningwheel.gif icon that
displays as a report is being generated?Hi,
I'm converting many many Access reports into a Reporting Services project.
Some of these reports are form letters with a lot of meticulously formatted
static text. The conversion performed by Reporting Services recreates the
report inside a List, as if the List groups the whole thing together.
In order to make some of the text look nice, I created a table that contains
no expressions other than plain text for the sole purpose of helping to ease
the alignment of many text blocks. This works fine in the Layout pane.
However, when I go to Preview it, I get this error:
"The table 'table1' is in a list that has no group expressions defined for
it. To use a data region in a list, the list must have group expressions."
To this I thought, fine, I'll take some time to remove everything from the
outside containing List and reassemble all the pieces (lines, text blocks,
etc.) so they look as I want. This worked ok until Preview, which produced
no errors but resulted in a horrible display - lines that met perfectly in
layout were no longer aligned, etc. The whole thing kind of exploded. When
I previewed before, with everything in the List, but without the table, the
preview looked perfect.
If I can get that table of plain text to work, I'll be very happy. Any
suggestions to circumventing the error above?
Many thanks in advance,
Mark|||Did you ever find a solution for this? I am attempting the same thing and am getting the exact same problem.
Thanks

changing the server used by a report

hopefully have better luck with this.

I have two servers running the same database for two locations, I have a site setup to report for one of them and I want to make it report for both based on what location a person is in.

I have it working when there are no parameters, however as soon as you enter parameters into the mix it breaks.

here is what I use to do it when no parameters are required.

CrystalReportSource1.ReportDocument.DataSourceConnections[0].SetConnection(myConnectionInfo.ServerName, myConnectionInfo.DatabaseName, false);

CrystalReportSource1.ReportDocument.DataSourceConnections[0].SetLogon(myConnectionInfo.UserID, myConnectionInfo.Password);

I tried to put this in various locations, before the parameters are read, after reading but before setting, after everything.
Even before the report is loaded!

all gave me an error on the report.

I also tried to grab the parameter definitions, then set these and then copy the definitions back and that failed, it was read only.

Any ideas?

ThanksNM - threw in a verifydatabase on the report document and all is well.
