Disabling in BIDS work around still working for us.
We managed to get it sorted on one Windows XP machine by installing all Windows Updates (I think the problem was fixed by a .net update). Have another machine with the same problem, which I'll look at today to see if this corrects it. / comments

Deploying Static Data
I'm having a great deal of difficulty deploying static data using SQL Source Control. I've linked the database to SVN, and can deploy schema changes by right click on the database and selecting sch...
I have SQL Prompt 5.1.8.2 installed, but still having the same problem in BIDS 2008. When adding an expression to define the colour of a text field, previewing the report causes BIDS to crash. I've disabled SQL Prompt in BIDS, and everything is fine. / comments

SQL Backup fails to send e-mail if Job fails
I've just had a slightly embarrassing situation whereby the SQL Agent job to run the Redgate Backups on a server have been failing for some time, but no error e-mail has been sent. This is because ...
Thanks for your post. Even dev and test have different permissions. I've tried creating a local group on the SQL server, and adding that to the DB role, thinking that would give a level of abstraction, but SQL includes the server name with the local group name.
At the moment I'm excluding the definition of the database role from Source Control, but including the permissions granted to the role on table definitions etc. Just need to make sure the role is in each environment before code is deployed.
It gets a bit confusing as SQL compare picks up the role when I do deployments, so I have to actually read the screen and check the right objects before deploying. Wouldn't it be nice just to be able to do a quick check and click 'deploy'. Can objects be excluded from the compare?

Managing Permissions between environments
We've just started using SQL Source Control (with VisualSVN server). Loving it. We have dev, test and live SQL Servers. We're now obviously trying to ensure that database code, schema etc. do not h...
I've used Run As... on their XP machines to run Redgate SQL Compare under my logon. Although they are administrators on their machine, and I am not, I believe my account uses a different proxy server. This has resulted in giving me the option to activate manually (no idea why it can't connect to the activation server via my proxy), which we've done and everything is now ok. / comments

SQL Prompt trial period ends even with serial number
I have two users with SQL Prompt 5 installed as part of SQLToolbelt. They have both had a message that their trial period is over, and SQL Prompt is disabled. Both of these users have a valid activ...
