Republisher (publishing subscriber) merge replication

Hi,
I am trying to have a republisher run with Merge replication, but am getting error messages anytime I try to publish to the third tier.
Any suggestions on where I can find more info?
Thanks
Wil
I ran into touble once trying that until I set the subscriber type
(sp_AddMergeSubscription) to Global. You might want to check your setting.

Reprot description not getting updated.

I publish an RDL to report server using web service, then later i have a
modified RDL which has the the report description changed. I republish with
"Overwrite" on my existing reprot using webservice. The description is not
getting updated in report manager.
If i edit the new report form report manager and look at the rdl it show the
new description but it will always dispalys the old description in the
description textbox.
Any idea how i could force it to update?Try manually deleting the description via the report manager interface and
then re-deploy.

interface that uses webservice to update reports.

can delete it as part of the deploy process.

ReportWriter - Soft Artisans

Anyone have any comments on using SoftArtisans ReportWriter that allows
Word/Excel users to write reports and publish to Reporting Services?
Is it very expensive?
is it worth it?"dm1608" wrote:

Ha! Funny, see a few subject headings down from this post regarding "Excel
reports to RS."

Yes.

Not really sure yet. I'm asking the same question, although in finer
granularity.
All the best!

yes, it is expensive.. 7.500 Euro per cpu
> is it worth it?
no, you must redesign all your reports using ms word with the softartisans
addin, if you want to export the reports to word...
And by the Way, i mean the Support by softartisans ist very bad|||So we have SQL Reporting Services in SQL 2000 and 2005. The feature matrix
on SQL 2005 says rendering formats for output are the same: Excel, PDF,
DHTML, images... but still no support for Word.
Does this mean Microsoft itself is shying away from its own product, Word,
by not offering native support within SQL RS? Is there a new industry
standard in word processing that I need to be looking at?
I find it truly mind-boggling for Microsoft to not export to Excel, XML,
even Adobe's PDF (hello MDI?) - but not Word. And for OfficeWriter to be the
only tool available... ?
Any other products out there?
Thanks,
Andrew Puente

It's called Proofreading 101. I failed that course, apparently. :-)

released.
