"Select All" option visible in Designer but gone on Report Manager

Hello,

I have several reports that use parameters that I have defined as multi-value. When I am designing the reports I see the "(Select All)" option listed first in each parm control that has the multi-value property set true. However, when the same reports are deployed to our server and viewed through Report Manager, the "(Select All)" option is missing. I need the "(Select All)" to be present.

I've seen some discussion of a service pack. Could this be the problem? What do we need to do to get our "(Select All)" back?

Thanks,

BCB

Hello BCB,

You'll need to apply SP2 to the server with Reporting Services on it. It seems that your local machine already has it applied.

Hello Jarret,

Thanks for your response. Can you tell me how to identify the service packs that have been applied to our SQL Server, if any? I checked the SQL Server properties and found a Version property that reads 9.00.2047.00. However, the number doesn't mean anything to me.

How can I tell if SP2 has been applied?

Thanks,

BCB

BCB,

RTM - 2005.90.1399
SP1 - 2005.90.2047
SP2 - 2005.90.3042

This link will tell you which version number corresponds to which service pack:

You can also go to the properties of the EXE file to get the version number. For example:

{Drive}:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL.{InstanceID_of_RS}\Reporting Services\ReportServer\bin\ReportingServicesService.exe

I have the same scenarios (but it's not a problem)

I applied SP2 (AND SP2a) on my local client, so my VS2005 has <Select All> in the Designer, and local Preview

however, our SSRS servers haven't been applied SP2 but only SP1, so no <Select All> there

My local .exe version is 3050 (ie. anything > 3042 is SP2) since SP2a is .3050 :)
