Hi all,
 
I am using VS 2003. I am trying to load a report based on view but i am getting  "Failed to open a rowset" error description [DBNETLIB][ConnectionRead(WrapperRead()).] General network error. Check your network documentation.
 
I know the problem and would really appreciate if anyone could point me in right direction.
 
The problem is in the View, it is accessing table from a remote SQL server joined by a linked server. If i remove the reference to remote table from the view i dont get the error message, but otherwise i get above error.

I can't answer the question, but I wonder if it has to do with a .NET 2003 limitation. I know for CR 10, XI they did a lot of work on the data source libraries and made them more robust for working with complex joins and disconnected joins. I would be curious if this worked better with .NET 2005 b/c it uses the newer drivers. That may not be an option for you (otherwise you would have already upgraded), but that is the only thing that comes to mind.

What database driver are you using for the report?  ODBC, native MS SQL, or something else?
