Hi I've created 2 reports today. Both with SQL credentials bound into the datasource.

Both reports run fine in BIDS. So I know the connection string is good.
When I deploy them and try to run them from the report manager i get the following error...
An error has occurred during report processing.
Cannot create a connection to data source 'SSDS'.
An internal error occurred on the report server. See the error log for more details.

I have looked in the evnt viewer and found nothing of note and have looked in C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL.3\Reporting Services\LogFiles and found no logs dated 2009 at all. So I cannot see a detailed error message anywhere.

All my other reports work. The only difference with the two created today is that they are both looking at data on a SQL 2000 database. All of the others are on SQL 2005.

I've just copied one of the problem reports and connected it to a SQL 2005 database and it runs no problem.
So it appears to me that using SQL 2005 reporting services you can't connect to SQL 2000 databases.

Am I right in that assumption?
Or maybe there is some thing I can do to make this work with SQL 2000?
TIA
