The whole point of MS CRM 4.0 generating the errors in this case was the fact that a different data source was used for the new reports.

All we had to do is:

  • Open the report in code view

  • <DataSources>

    <DataSource Name=”Organisation_MSCRM”>

    <rd:DataSourceID>e4625bd3-c843-4b26-9911-a052ae5daf2c</rd:DataSourceID>

    <DataSourceReference>Organization_MSCRM</DataSourceReference>

    </DataSource>

</DataSources>

  • The data source name has to be the data source all MS CRM 4.0 reports use, when you use a different one.. this error will occur.
  • Replace in all datasets the correct data source name with the data source of all the MS CRM 4.0 reports. This will render the report not functional, but MS CRM 4.0 will accept it.
  • When MS CRM 4.0 had accepted the fawlty report, go to the report server website and correct the data source in the report properties.

 

That’s all there’s to it.

Good luck creating all the reports you want, using whatever data source you need.
