Best Practices Analyzer

Before hand, I Apologize if I am posting this on a wrong group.
I have downloaded and installed "SQL Server 2000 Best Practices Analyzer" from
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=B352EB1F-D3CA-44EE-893E-9E07339C1F22&displaylang=en
on to my Windows XP machine where I have "SQL Server 2000 Personal addition"
is installed. The installation went fine. I created a report by connecting to
a server. Now, I want to print the report but I can't.
The document "MSBPA_User_Guide.doc" that comes with it says that I should be
able to print report by clicking on the "print report" icon on "Compliance
Reports" page but THERE IS NO "PRINT REPORT" icon.
Am I dreaming ? or what document says really doesn't match what the software
does ? or is this a limitation on Windows XP ?
Thanks for any help.Hi DXC:
you should have just four choices on the report form:
[Remove Report], [Copy Report], [Previous Report] and [Next Report].
To print a report you should use the [Copy] option and then paste it ona a
Word document or on any other editor you like.
This action let you generate a document containig the reèportsummary. to
Print the details you should copy any of them (or just the details you are
interested for) one at a time.

print one by one then I will not print.........Is it any better if I use
the "SQL Server Reporting Services" ?

data source: anyway you have to peek each detail you are interested to.
Surely you can obtain a much better result in terms of presentation and
usability.
