Connecting to the Newsport Database
The instructions in the following chapters assume that you have started Report Builder and are connected to the Newsport database. See "Introduction," for a description of the Newsport database. The reports you will create draw all their data from this database.
Follow these steps to connect to the Newsport database:
- Choose Report
Database Connections. The Connect Database dialog box appears:
![]()
- Enter the full path of the Newsport database in the Physical Name field, then choose OK. After Report Builder connects to the database, the Database Connections dialog box appears:
![]()
The Database Connections dialog box lists all the databases to which you are connected. Because you connected to only one database, Newsport is the only database in the list.
- Choose Close to return to the report layout.
