Common Expression Editor Dialog

Hi,
I am using July CTP and dundas beta 1 for RS reports...when I try to
adjust a chart and add an expression it tells me...
'Launch the common expression editor dialog. This is not available in
this build of SQL Server 2005 Reporting Services.'
Is it available in September CTP?
Thanks
Peter
www.peternolan.comFor others looking at this the answer is yes...this dialog box exists
on the September CTP version......It seems I have the custom assembly
(with no code group added) working on September CTP along with Dundas
Charts beta 2...the old reports still do not migrate across properly
and I am still yet to figure that one out.....but the charts I can
produce with Dundas are well in advance of those I can produce with the
standard reports...
My only complaint? I have never seen so many options on a chart!!!
Time to read the manual!! (LOL)

Command Prompt problems when installing MSDE

Hi,
I cannot seem to create a server instance when installing the MSDE.
step 1. I launch my cmd. It pops up with (C:\Documents and Settings\Billy
I type setup instancename="netsdk" sapwd="sa"
I immediately get a status message saying go to the control planel and
install and configure systems components. I am stuck here. If anyone can shed
some light with this problem I would appreciate it.
I am installing the MSDE onto my laptop(XP OS). I went to my control
panel->administrative tools->Local Security Policy-> but I don't what to look
for?
I am lost.

when opening the command prompt window, please navigate to the folder
containing the MSDE setup.exe boostrap installer, typically C:\MSDErelA\ or
C:\sql2kspX\MSDE\ (where X stands for the service pack level)...

Forgive for not knowing, but how I do navigate to the root directory?
I tried the following commands you posted early,but cannot get to specified
location. The downloaded folder is under the C:\ dir. However, when my cmd is
invoked I cannot get to it from C:\Documents and Settings. One more time,
please. I even tried to copying the folder to the documents folder and still
no go.
Thanks

Recopied it to the Billy folder and create an instance to the server,
automatically starting installing. Error on my end. Thanks for the help.
