Thanks guys for confirming , evne when it's not what i wanted to here.
Just as you suggested, I've got a specific domain user to use for this now, it just didn't feel rightto have the credentials entered on a per-report basis. Actually the same thing happens in Windows Tasks that run under a different user context, it's just the process.
