Brian, I work for a state government department of over 3000 people. Its somewhere between 3000 and 3500. But organizational structure is somewhat confusing.

I don't know SSIS, but I was...

None of the members of my team, including myself, have any experience with writing SSIS packages. No knowledge as to how to do that. We don't (to my knowledge) even...

Where can I learn more about using what I'm calling a "component project" to retrieve the data for the SSRS report? Is "Component Project" correct or is there a different...
