Invalid Path message

In the following code, I received an error on

execInfo = rsReportExec.LoadReport(strReportPath, strHistoryID). The errro was "System.Web.Services.Protocols.SoapException: The path of the item "http://localhost/ReportServer/Pages/ReportViewer.aspx?/CAITReports/rptIssuesByRole&rs:Command=Render&intProjectID=119&nvchrWhoRan=DYW" is not valid. The path must be less than 260 characters long and must start with slash. Other restrictions apply. > Microsoft.ReportingServices.Diagnostics.Utilities.InvalidItemPathException: The path of the item "http://localhost/ReportServer/Pages/ReportViewer.aspx?/CAITReports/rptIssuesByRole&rs:Command=Render&intProjectID=119&nvchrWhoRan=DYW" is not valid. The path must be less than 260 characters long and must start with slash. Other restrictions apply.

I copied and pasted the path on the URL and it worked. What did I miss in the code? Why strHistoryID is required as it is nothing? Please refer to http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/microsoft.wssux.reportingserviceswebservice.rsexecutionservice2005.reportexecutionservice.render.aspx

Response.ClearContent()

Response.AppendHeader("content-length", byteResult.Length.ToString)

Response.BinaryWrite(byteResult)

The report path should be like /ReportFolder/ReportName

What you have given is URL. Check it for yourself in the msdn link you have given. There is nothing to do with hitory id.

Invalid destination path when trying to create distribution database

Hello. I am attempting to add a distribution database to an instance of SQL Server on my local PC. I am using SQL 2005 Developer Edition. I am able to set the instance up as a distributor using the following command:

exec sp_adddistributor @.distributor = N'computername\instancename'

I use the following command to create the distribution database:

exec sp_adddistributiondb @.database = N'distribution', @.data_folder = N'C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL.2\MSSQL\Data',

@.data_file_size = 4, @.log_folder = N'C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL.2\MSSQL\Data',

I get the following error when executing that command:

Msg 14430, Level 16, State 1, Procedure sp_adddistributiondb, Line 214

Invalid destination path C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL.2\MSSQL\Data.

It's not due to permissions on that particular folder. I have tried using other folders, all with the same results. Also, I am an Administrator on the PC, so I have full permissions. I have tried running the SQL Server services as myself and Local System. Same results both times. Co-workers with apparently the same setup are able to create the distribution database without a problem.

Has anybody had this type of problem?

Thanks,

Evan

I executed the same thing above, but different path, and it worked for me. Proc sp_adddistributiondb is raising error 14430 because proc sp_MSget_file_existence cannot locate the path you specified. I'd run a profiler trace to see why this proc cannot locate your path.
