I have SQL Backup Pro 5 installed on three computers so far:
* My local PC: client only
* JOBSSERVER: SQL 2005 - used for running SQL Agent jobs and SQL Backup 5 reporting
* DEVSERVER: Development server with 2 SQL2000 instances and 1 SQL2005 instance
I set up the reporting database in a remote desktop session to JOBSSERVER and created a failed backup report for all instances on JOBSSERVER and DEVSERVER with no problem. When I tried to create a report from my local PC using the JOBSSERVER reporting database I got the error shown below. Let me know if there is any other information that might be of help.
