Just to clarify - did you use the SQL Server Reporting Services over
data
resident on the i ? Can you provide some details on what approach you
used
to make that work ?

Hi Evan,

The reports are using real-time data from the i. Getting it working is not
complicated. You need to have either ODBC or OLEDB drivers (Client Access
has them) installed on the SQL Server and your development workstation. With
this installed, you simply define a connection to the i5 within the report
and write your SQL against it.

MC Press just ran an article about this in their newsletter last week. I
didn't bother with the article since I'm well on my way with SSRS, but it
might be helpful to you. Check out their website.
