We recently installed a new SQL 2012 server, and I've got SSRS running on it.

I'm using SSDT in VS 2012, and I know that it creates 2012 SSIS and SSAS packages, however it apears to be cerating 2008 SSRS reports.

Also, when I go to setup a Report project and set the TargetServerVerion, I use "Detect Version..." and it comes back with "SQL Server 2008 R2 or later".

I'm not sure if it should be saying SQL 2012 there or not.

I'm trying to set the PageName property to be able to explicitly name tabs in Excel, and that is a new propery in 2012.

In the designer I have the PageName property, but when I preview the report I get a Warning saying:

"Warning 1 The PageName property specified on the data region, rectangle, or group 'GROUPNAME' was removed from the report. SQL Server 2008 Reporting Services does not support the PageName property."

What's going on her, and how do I get this to be 2012?

I assume you mean the ReportServer database. It is 2012. So is the database teh report is running against for that matter.

When I create a new report and look in the code it says:

<Report xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/sqlserver/reporting/2008/01/reportdefinition" xmlns:rd="http://schemas.microsoft.com/SQLServer/reporting/reportdesigner">

No, I meant compatability level of the database (90, 100, 110, etc)

Yeah, that's what I meant. Both the ReportServer database and the database the report is pulling data from are both Compatability level 110.

Ah. Well the machine that the service is running on ais a fresh VM that has never had anything else installed on it. It is just a fresh Windows 2008 Server with SQl Server 2012 installed on it. It's never had SQL 2008 on it, so I would think the registry must be clean. Yes, the service running on the machien is definately SQL 2012, I've pulled up the UI on the machine and also we are running web UI for it, which is clearly 2012.

From http://ServerName/ReportServer

"Microsoft SQL Server Reporting Services Version 11.0.5058.0 "
