Hello All, I've tried everything for a whole day to get iReport 2.0 to run against my SQL Express 2005 to no avail. 1. I've used and downloaded sqljdbc.jar for Microsoft to no avail. I've checked this site: http://blogs.msdn.com/jdbcteam/ for mistake that could be there. There was one: SQL Express 2005 uses:"com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerDriver", NOT "com.microsoft.jdbc.sqlserver.SQLServerDriver". I've fixed it - No dice. By the way sqljdbc.jar could not be unzipped; I got a bad file error. 2. I've used the sourceforge: "net.sourceforge.jtds.jdbc.Driver" also to no avail. It's drving me insane. Any one out there had the same issues. If you resolved it, please help. thanks, Raymond [file name=ScreenShot003.jpg size=107809]http://www.jasperforge.org/components/com_joomlaboard/uploaded/files/ScreenShot003.jpg[/file]
