Struggling to get a connection to SSRS on Sharepoint from either Excel or Access.

All I know of SSRS is self-taught, and I've been able to create some pretty cool reports...the problem is, when I deploy a report to a report library on SharePoint, I absolutely cannot get it to connect successfully to either an Excel spreadsheet or an Access
database, no matter if those documents are on the SharePoint as well or on a shared network drive.
The connections are no problem if the report, the DSN file (if I'm attempting to use ODBC connection), and the Excel/Access file are all in the same location (the shared drive, my own hard drive).....but once the report is put on SharePoint, it just won't
work. I continually get errors that the data source isn't found, although I'm absolutely certain that the file location is correct when I try to use OLEDB or the DSN file when I create an ODBC.
Can anybody else to say what the problems may be here?? I wouldn't think there'd be a problem when all the documents are on the same SharePoint site, but I can't even get that to work...ideally I'd love to connect it to a spreadsheet that all the managers
are updating on our shared drive, but again, I've failed to make that connection to.
Any help is VERY appreciated...I've been stuck on this for some time!

Also, if it matters, I can get a connection to a SharePoint list very easily. The problem is that it takes manual transfer of data into a SharePoint list, so the report wouldn't be live for those woh run it.
(If there was a way to either link an Excel to the SharePoint list that would suffice....or to link Excel to an Access database, which links to the SharePoint list....but the latter seems to break the Excel link when I connect Access to the SP list.)

Some more information other than why would help. Does your service provider allow cellular data on your plan? Do you have cellular data turned on? Are you in a area with cellular coverage?

Question about "Get Web Drawing URL and Page Name From" for Visio Web Access

I am trying to get both the web drawing URL and the page name from a list through Share Point Designer 2013, but it doesn´t work.
It looks fine when a do the web part connection wizard. I select from which columns to get the URL and the page name. But on the final web part page nothing happens. It just shows the URL that is selected in the Visio Web Access Web part. I had hoped that
that value should be overrided by the SPD-settings.
I have googled for hours..

Hello,
I have now saved the Visio-file in .vdw-format, but it says Visio 2010 Web Drawing (*.vdw). Is there a .vdw-format for 2013? Isn´t that the .vsdx-format?
Still doesn´t work with the .vdw-format, but maybe I am doing something wrong.
Any ideas?

Can I use my epson sx425w stylus wireless printer with my macbook air?? if so how do I link it as Im struggling to get it connected wirelessly

Ive recently bought a macbook air and have an epson sx425w wireless printer which has been excellent
when used with my previous laptop and im reluctant to purchase another when its in perfect
working order, I just cant seem to link it to my macbook for some reason, I cant find my instruction
manual for the printer but do remember it was fairly straight forward linking it to my lap top
before?!
hoping someones had similiar problem and has a resoloution !! help please

I checked the Epson (U.S.) website, and found nothing at all about this model printer - no support, drivers, etc.
I also checked Apple's websites, and found they do offer support for the SX420W.
Maybe this will solve it:

I am getting "this connection is untrusted" error messages from Firefox for Desktop when I try to log into certain websites, such as Facebook. Why?

I get this error message "this connection is untrusted" after I re-installed Windows Vista and all my programs. This happened before but after reformatting my computer everything was good. Why am I getting this? Could it be a virus of some sort? It happens when I use Windows Internet Explorer as well....

Hi,
Please check the time/date on the PC. The ideal setting would be to '''Automatically synchronize ...''' in Date and Time > Internet Time.

Getting "cannot connect to iTunes store error from one appleID but another works fine

I have 2 apple ID's, a personal one, and one that me and a couple of coworkers share so that we can share apps we purchase. I cannot log into the shared AppleID from my ipad. I can from my PC so I know it is not an incorrect password or anything like that. I get the error "cannot connect to iTunes Store". Is this because too many of us are logged into the same apple ID at once? I tried changing the password so that it would kick everyone else off, but even with a new password I get the error. I am able to login with my personal apple ID just fine, so I know it's not an issue with my wifi or my ipad software (i don't think). anyone else experienced this and found a solution?

Hello 66ladybird88,
I understand you are trying to access the iTunes Store on your Windows computer but are getting an alert with the number 0x80092013. There is an article that address this kind of alert and has some great troubleshooting steps for resolution. I understand the alert in the article is slightly different than the one you are getting but I recommend the same steps listed.
Apple software on Windows: May see performance issues and blank iTunes Store
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4123
Resolution
The cause for these issues is a program that monitors the Winsock protocol for Windows conflicting with Apple software. These programs usually use a Layered Service Provider (LSP) that can help identify the particular program installed. The programs that monitor this protocol have a variety of purposes, including security software, content filtering, and optimization of network traffic.
Thanks for reaching out,

How To Connect To Oracle 11g Database From Microsoft Excel

Hi All,
I have Windows7 64bit installed in my laptop.
I have Microsoft Excel 2007 installed.
I tried connecting to Oracle database ( This is not a local database).
Navigation used:
Data> From Other Sources > From Data Connection Wizard > Other/Advanced > Next > Microsoft OLE DB Provider For Oracle > OK
Now I get a pop up to enter:
username
password
server
When I enter all the required details I get this error "ORA-06413 CONNECTION NOT OPEN"
Is there no need to give PORT number?
Thanks,

Hi,
Did you install oracle client on the machine? Can you do "tnsping <SID>"? Can you connect to DB using sqlplus ?
Try using tnsname for server name.

Hello,
I have uploaded an excel sheet which has data in Pivot table format into SharePoint site and then by using the current user filter I am trying to connect the filter (sharepoint profile user property) to a parameter in the excel sheet. I have defined one
of the pivot filter as the parameter. But all this, raises an error as below
"Unable to set one or more parameters. An error occurred while attempting to set one or more parameters in this workbook. As a result, none of the parameters has been set. Click OK to return to the workbook."
please assist.
Thanks & Regards
Thank You

I had referred this link but the example provided is related linking dashboard filters with the pivot table filter and i require to connect a current user filter.
The current user filter does not have any properties similar to what the dashboard filter have and we are not looking at using dashboard for our requirement.

I cannot get into my I Mac as i've either mistyped my access password or there is another issue. How do i reset the pasword?

I cannot get into my Imac as i've either mistyped my acces password or there is another issue. How do I get round this and reset the entry password?

1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Change Password from the Installer menu up at top of the screen. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
*Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Change Password.*
Of course for 10.7 & up there is no Install Disk, so boot from your Restore Partition holding CMD+r keys, & look for it there.

Problems connecting to SSRS using IReportServerCredentials, the request failed with http status 401: unauthorized

We have a hosted SSRS server and we access it's reports using the reportviewer in an ASP.net application.
We are getting the error: The request failed with HTTP status 401: Unauthorized. When trying to run one of the reports. I have confirmed that the login details work when logging into the report manager page directly.
I have implemented an instance of IReportServerCredentials in a separate class (below) and I call it from the page before it tries to access the report. I'm not sure if this is all I need but can't seem to find any other info.
I have managed to gain access connecting to the external server from my PC and accessed the report, but when I promote the code to production and run it from there on my local PC I get the unauthorized message again: the request failed with http status
401: unauthorized
The class:

The call to the class, just before the report is run:
if (GetConnection.GetConnectionString().ToString().Contains("IP of external server removed"))
invoiceviewer.ServerReport.ReportServerCredentials = new MyReportServerCredentials();
We have tried so many things here, we don't even care whether the server authenticates or not but it appears to be as standard. Our hosting company has also drawn a blank and changed so many settings to no ava

Hi Nasa1999,
According to your description, you are getting the error: The request failed with HTTP status 401: Unauthorized when you access the report using the ReportViewer in an ASP.net application.
Regarding the 401 error, it could cause by the Service Principal Name(SPN) for the account the Reporting Services is running under hasn’t been registered when the Reporting Services is configured to use Kerberos authentication. So in your scenario,
please check if you are using Kerberos authentication. If that is a case, please make sure SPN is configured correctly. For more information, please refer to the similar thread:
The request failed with HTTP status 401: Unauthorized. in SSRS.
If issue persists, please check the Reporting Service error log (default location: %programfiles%\Microsoft SQL Server\<SQL Server Instance>\Reporting Services\LogFiles) around the time that the error message thrown out.
If you have any question, please feel free to ask.
Best regards,

Cannot Get Mail Connection to Server Failed

Ok, I am not a very good with setting things up but I have the itouch 16GB, I have managed to set up my email and am receiving new ones but I can not connect when I am away from my home, everytime I try to connect I get the following message, *Cannot get mail,The connection to the server "pop3.live.com" failed.* Can anyone help as to what I have done wrong or what I need to do to make this work. Many thanks

Tina,
You need a good WiFi connection first. You can get a WiFi signal, tell your touch to connect to the network (which it does) and still not be able to do anything - like check e-mail.
I've noticed that a lot of free hotspots here in the States make you go through a web page to "log on" to their networks. Even if it is free, you still have to go through this system.
Next time this happens, open Safari and touch one of your bookmarked pages. Chances are the network log on screen will pop up. Do whatever it asks, and that network will release your log on to begin working.

Tecra A10 - Refurbished - unable to get it connected to my home network

I just got this Tecra A10-104 refurbished Laptop...before I take it back I am asking here just in case theres something I have missed as I am unable to get it connected to my home network.
I am running a Belkin Wireless Router that has 2 main PC's directly connected (LAN), and another PC wirelessly connected.
This is my router: http://www.belkin.com/uk/support/article/?lid=enu&pid=F5D8233uk4&aid=9238&scid=0
All PC's working fine and connected.
Now I'm trying to setup this laptop to connect.
I uninstalled the Vista Business and ussed the XP Pro Product Recovery disc that came with the Tecra.
My WiFi card is: Intel(R) Wireless WiFi Link 5100 (Driver Date: 27/04/2008 - Driver Version: 12.0.0.73)
It sees the network but no matter what i try just won't connect.
What I have done so far (read before suggesting stuff I have already tried):
Reconfigured routers WPS to Shared Key system.
Made sure the wireless adapter has settings set to 20/40hz (auto)
Restarted router, cable modem & laptop several times
Wireless button on side of Laptop is ON.
FN + F8 to enable WIFI (ON) BLUETOOTH (OFF)
Added wireless network to Auto Connect settings along with SSID and passcode end encryption method.
Clicked connect when network appears in network viewer dialogue and retyped passcode.
Not working.
I should add the Laptop has no problems connecting via its Gigabit LAN port.
Anything else I'm missing?
Thanks in advance.
EDIT: Dual post removed.

UPDATE:
The next thing I tried was to reinstall Vista Business from recovery disc to see if this suffered from the same problem.
The wireless connection worked fine on Vista and, despite the updates that I was being offered, worked without needing to update any drivers.
This made me think...so the issue is probably XP DRIVER related.
What I have done now is backup all the driver updates I was told to download by TEMPRO (BIOS & wireless manager updates included).
I think part of the problem is that TEMPRO only works in Vista (not XP) so you are not informed of any updates that may be required if you downgrade to XP straight after purchase (which is what I did).

I get wireless connection but my internet does not work on my ipad 2

I get wireless connection but my internet does not work on my ipad 2

Some things to try first:
1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
5. Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
    •    Launch Settings app
    •    Tap on Wi-Fi
    •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
    •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button
