Default best practice analyzer "copy report" but no "print report" - 06-04-2004 , 12:51 PM






I have just installed and ran the BPA. The documentation says that you can print reports but I do not see a "print" button at the bottom of the page. I see a "copy report" button but as far as I can tell this does nothing. The resolution on my screen is 1280 x 1024. I would like to print the report, so any help would be appreciated

Does anyone know what the "copy" button does, if anything.

Thank
Dan

I reinstalled the software and I also installed the software on another machine. The problem still exists. One machine is W2K sever sp4 and the other is XP Pro sp1

Unfortunately it is a documentation bug. Print functionality was removed
from BPA (available in the beta) but was missed from the documentation. :-(

The two possible ways to achieve print are:
1) use "copy". After clicking on it you should be able to paste in a variety
of formats, word, excel, etc.
2) use SQL Server Reporting Services. This also has many formats (pdf,
excel, html) you can use to generate & print reports.
