Hi all,

I have the BI publisher desktop add-in for Word/Excel etc to build RTF templates, but I can not log on, I get the error msg

"Error while trying to access Report Server Location: The remote server returned an error : (400) Bad Request.

Report Server Location is:

our URL"

URL, username/password are all fine ( port is 443 right? so format - http://host:port/xmlpserver)

What am I missing? or is there something wrong with the install/config?

I can load sample XML data with the add-ins, but this is far from ideal as if my sample data does not contain data in every field I do not see the field at all - i.e. DM has planned_end_date - if my sample data does not have at least one row with this populated then this field is not available to pick for the template.

I can build a template using the DM from inside BIP and then open in Word as a workaround, but would like to know how to get this to work correctly using the add-ins.

All help appreciated.

Many thanks,

Ian
