Query using Table named "Order" is failing

Question

I'm writing a query to look at orders in a table called Order (I did not name it that).  Unfortunately, this is also a reserved key term in SQL.  In the query in visual studio I put the table name in brackets [Order]. The query is simple
SELECT DISTINCT O.ProjectNo, O.ReportType
FROM            [Order] AS O
The query runs correctly while in VS, but once I upload the report to SSRS server, I get an error
Query execution failed for dataset 'EDROrders'.  (rsErrorExecutingCommand)
Invalid object name 'Order'
Any ideas?  I'm on SQL 2008 R2

Are you sure Order is in the same database which datasource is trying to connect? Also are you using an expression based connectionstring?
Another scenario where this can occur is Order table not being in dbo schema. It may be that it will in your default schema (say xxx) so that when you just refer it as Order it will work fine whereas when it runs from ReportServer its using another account
whose default schema is not same as yours. As such it wont find table as its neither in its default schema not dbo
To check that give it access to your schema (if different from dbo) and make select as below
SELECT DISTINCT O.ProjectNo, O.ReportType
FROM [schemaname].[Order] AS O
and try
