I want to clarify..

Can we declare any variables in the sql server 2000 reporting services?
because I need to make an array for my tables, for ex: in my database(sql
server) it has many tables like tble27,tble28,tble29,tble30.. etc. all of
the fields inside the tables are the same. every table has
name,age,sex,address. just different records. I was planning on making an
array like tble(i) so i can use the report parameter to just use the
variable for an easy access to whatever my client would prefer to view.
Also just telling me how, and where to declare variables would be a great
help, if it is possible.. advance thank you. please do help me
Diff. Question:
Also how will i access a table from database1 as my report parameter and and
view the records from database2?

~SiMPLe~Hi,
For your first question you should consider a stored procedure based on a
parameter which returns the proper underlying table. Then you can create a
dataset and use the sp to retrieve the data. Declare in the properties of the
dataset the mapping of the ReportParameter and the parameter nessesary for
the sp.
Every dataset you create in SRS has it's own connection. And those
connection can point to different datasources. So just create two datasources
to your servers and retrieve the information.
