I’ve searched around and what I want to do doesn’t seem possible, however I just want to clarify.

Is it possible to change the DataSource of a ServerReport. So if I have a ReportViewer I want to be able to define the DataSource the report uses from an available list of shared DataSources defined on the server.

I would like to do this so that I don’t have to maintain multiple report server instances for each database engine instances. Is this crazy?

I’m using SSRS 2008 on a Win2k3 server and my project is a .NET 3.5 Win Forms project.

Anybody have any ideas?

Cheers

    I think the only way to achieve this is to run the ReportViewer control in Local Processing mode. That way, it will be not require a database connection at all.
