Yes the connections were enabled but for some reason it was still giving me issues. I reinstalled SQL express . It took three installs to get this problem fixed.

Any idea about the error i am getting after installing SQL reporting services 2005 ? The user that is trying to access the database is machinename\ASPNET. User has dbowner rights on the ReportServer$SQLExpress.I also have TCP/IP and Named Pipes protocol for SQLExpress enabled. Any thing else that i should be doing ?<br />

Experts,

Any idea about the error i am getting after installing SQL reporting services 2005 ? The user that is trying to access the database is machinename\ASPNET. User has dbowner rights on the ReportServer$SQLExpress.I also have TCP/IP and Named Pipes protocol for SQLExpress enabled. Any thing else that i should be doing ?

The report server cannot open a connection to the report server database. A connection to the database is required for all requests and processing

A database report is the formatted result of database queries and contains useful data for decision-making and analysis. Most good business applications contain a built-in reporting tool; this is simply a front-end interface that calls or runs back-end database queries that are formatted for easy application usage.

DB Reporting Tools

Microsoft SQL Server 2005 is a suite of relational database management system (RDBMS) products providing multi-user database access functionality.Component services include integration (SSIS), reporting (SSRS), analysis (SSAS), data quality, master data, T-SQL and performance tuning. It includes support for managing XML data and allows a database server to be exposed over web services using Tabular Data Stream (TDS) packets encapsulated within SOAP (protocol) requests.
