Hi all.
Using a MacMini to access a Reporting Services 2000 installation and getting
some very strange results.
When using Safari I can browse the folders of the server, and can see the
reports, but they will not render at all.
In IE, I can render the reports but encounter missing entries in my
parameterised drop downs, and cannot seem to export to any format, PDF/Excel
etc.
Anyone come across this behaviour before, and know if it's 'by design' or
avoidable at all?
Many thanks,
Paul.I have not heard of very much success at all with using MACs with RS2000. It
might be better with RS 2005 but I don't know.

Hi Paul!
I'm not familiar with Reporting Services. Does it require ActiveX? If
so, this is Windows only and won't work with any browser on a Mac.
If it doesn't require ActiveX, try a different web browser such as
Firefox. Firefox uses a different rendering engine than Safari and we
have found we're able to access more Windows-centric sites with it. As
for IE for Mac, that was discontinued a few years ago and was finally
pulled off Microsoft's website earlier this year.
Hope this helps! bill

accessing Report using the browser
Hi,
I have created a sample report called Report1 in SSRS 2005. This currently
is running locally on my workstation.
I can even browse to it using the http address i.e. http://localhost/Reports
The question is: How can someone else access this report on my machine. They
can not browse to my machine by typing http://12.32.2.344/Reports
Do I need to do any configuration in my local IIS?
ThanksIf you are on domain just create the other users logins in your reports /
machine and give access and they should be able to see it. Go to
http://localhost/reports and
site settings and give access for your machine or the server access as well
for the same users.

Do you think it could be to do with the IIS settings? Can you guide me on
what the properties settings should be for reports and ReportServer please?
This is the error I get (See below):
Object not found!
The requested URL was not found on this server. If you entered the URL
manually please check your spelling and try again.

What happens if there is no domain. We are using Novell.

access from windows as well. So that the user when logs in will have your
machine (or where the reportserver is installed) access.

I have created a sample report called Report1 in SSRS 2005. This currently
is running locally on my workstation.
I can even browse to it using the http address i.e. http://localhost/Reports
The question is: How can someone else access this report on my machine. They
can not browse to my machine by typing http://12.32.2.344/Reports
Do I need to do any configuration in my local IIS?
ThanksIf you are on domain just create the other users logins in your reports /
machine and give access and they should be able to see it. Go to
http://localhost/reports and
site settings and give access for your machine or the server access as well
for the same users.
