Hi All,I am an orwcle dba working on SQL Server 2005. I have a very basic knowledge of the SQL Reporting Services Tools through Business Intelligence.I have created a report for a call centre that is to be displayed on multiple TV screens around the office - as such this needs to be showing live data. My issue is that i am unable to find a way of making the report "auto refresh" every x amount of seconds to keep the report up tp date with the current call stats.At the moment we are refreshing IE manually every few minutes but this is both cumbersome and time consuming. I know this can be done using a VB Code but as i am not good with VB is there an easier way? |

You could run the report from windows scheduler to automate. The report web page can also take parameters that determine either your filters on a report and also if the report is refreshed from the DB etc. These are listed in MSDN. If you cannot find them let me know I will have a look for you. |
