I'm developing a cube using the multidimensional model on the Sql Server 2014 Dev edition. Having quite a few measures in a single group I'm trying to organise them into display folders that doesn't work though for some reason. The defined display folders do not show up in any client - Visual Studio, SSMS, Excel, Power BI - you name it. Using VS I can see the defined folders in the properties window, on the translation tab, everywhere except the browser tab. And yes, the visibility attribute for the measures is set to True.
Please let me know if anybody came cross this and fixed.
As it turned out display folders will not appear unless you provide captions for the all added translations.

I'm trying to create my first report and I created a dataset and am trying to drag table from the toolbox. But it is grayed out. How to enable it? Any reason why it is happening like that?
You haven't actually created a new report. What you've done is create a project which can and often does contain many different reports. These projects can also contain many data sets and data sources. You can right-click the reports folder and create a new report which will enable those controls.
I am trying to create ssisdb on sql 2017 instance, i have configured clr , but for some reason the option to create SSISDB is not showing. Please see attachment and help.enter image description here
Ive had similar issues with several kinds of MS products like SSIS or SSMS, the OK or other buttons not showing, also users couldnt see values or filters in Power BI etc.
In these cases it was a display issue. Try display it on a larger monitor, try changing screen resolution, or move the box further up or try and resize the box in which the buttons should be in.
I also had cases where I couldnt see any buttons but they were displaying when a colleague set it up on his computer, so maybe you could ask a colleague if he/she can see the buttons.
Recently I've been given an Access database program to fix from my father, it's an invoicing program, so I can't exactly give it out freely.
Unfortunately I know very little about Access and programming.
I'm fairly sure the developer of this database/program has used quite an old version of Visual Basic, I suspect either 5.0 or 6.0.
I've figured out to open the database file in the Visual Basic editor that comes with Access 2003 and 2010. One of the references state:
MISSING: Microsoft Windows Common Controls 5.0 (SP2)
Location: C:\WINDOWS\system32\COMCTL32.OCX
Language: Standard
However there are various other problems, such as some of the buttons not working fully, such as when ignoring the references problem starting up the database creates a popup that states:
There is no object in this control.
The Customers and Orders buttons seem to work fine, however clicking the reports button causes the program to create another popup that says:
Object doesn't support this property or method.
This popup appears twice.
The report function essentially does: Date From and Date To, using a calender date picker. This then shows the user the orders between those two dates and totals them. At first the Date To calender element seems to work, but the user needs to type into the Form field, normally the calender appears for the user to select from.
As said the calender in the report function does not appear, I suspect this is because it is related to a DirectX component/element that was built on Vista?
Clicking the export customer file button also creates the Object doesn't support this property or method pop up message.
How can I fix this? Is it just a bunch of adjustments needed because of the move from Windows Vista to Windows 7.
I would first suggest you determine if the calendar control is using the common dialog control, or using the ActiveX calendar control that was supplied with Access (up to 2003). While versions of Access after 2007 can use the ActiveX calendar control, it is NOT included with the install. The result here is if your application is dependent on the ActiveX control, the you best stick to using Access 2003. Also keep in mind that during the initial access 2003 install, you need to INCLUDE the calendar control (it is not included by default).
Your broken reference issue(s) can be resolved in about 5 minutes by anyone with Access experience. So once in VBA, I would first set a reference to the common dialog control. If you don’t have version 5, pick the most highest version you have on your computer.
However, for the most part competent developers AVOID using and including such references in their applications (and your troubles now quite much vindicate this good developer practice). In fact I don’t think an Access install ALSO includes a common dialog library. Any VB5 or VB6 application install DOES include the library – but we don’t see a lot of VB6 applications installed, and thus you could in fact be missing that library.
The FileDilog (to browse for a selected file) or a “calendar” to select a date range etc. can be accomplished without a reference to the common dialog control.
Here is a good article on how to resolve reference problems:

I'm wondering if it's possible to setup SQL Server to have multiple rows of tabs for files / queries.
I have a lot of queries I want to switch between, and could move them to different horizontal groups, but I think two rows would be much easier to navigate than that pin on the left that drops down the big list of open queries.
Visual Studio kind of supports this if you pin enough code windows to fill up the top bar.
Is there something similar in SQL Server?
Edit:
I'm trying to achieve something like this (screenshot from Visual Studio)
While SQL Server is more like this
It's now available in current ssms version. From menu => Tools => options:
By default SSMS includes Database name, File name, Login name and server name in each query tab title. So that we can see only 3 or 4 tabs at a time.
There is a work around for this,
go to Tools > Options > Text Editor > Editor Tab and Status Bar and change all of the "Tab Text" group options to false except for the file name.
This will reduce the tab name, so that SSMS will show more tabs at a time
I know of at least one plugin that will do this in SSMS (and Visual Studio). Because, yeah, it would be nice.
Tabs Studio - document tabs manager for Visual Studio IDE.
You can do this by pinning all the tabs. If tabs are pinned, they won't go out of sight but will go to the next tabline instead.
The last line in the picture is a result of "Show pinned tabs in a separate row" option described in this answer.
You can pin all tabs. Pinned tabs won't be hidden.
You can get a list of open tabs (Active Files) using the Ctrl-Tab shortcut. Continue pressing Tab to cycle through the list and release when the desired tab is highlighted. Or just mouse click on the required tab while keeping Ctrl depressed.
Some people do this by managing their files in an SSMS Solution and keeping the Solution Explorer loaded, but I find these to be inflexible and unwieldy.
SQL Prompt 6 has an "Open Tabs" list in the Tab History feature, which you might also find useful.
I'm using ReportViewer WinForms, and since it is no easy way to create an coversheet, then I wonder, is it possible to render two reports and have them concatenated?, so they appear as one report?
If I was to print only, then I could execute two reports after each other, but since the user want to see the report before printing (you know, no environment waste here) then they have to appear in the same viewer.
OR, is there other ways of creating coversheets?
Today I use an subreport, but there are some issues with margins etc. which is not easy to fix.
To clarify, we are talking about
ReportViewer using RDLC files, no
Crystal Reports involved.
Do you need to display the 2 reports as 1 in the reportViewer control or would having them both exported to PDF and showing a single PDF containing both reports be satisfactory?
I was looking for that but using the Web ReportViewer and found examples exporting the reports to several PDFs, then concatenating the PDFs into 1 using PDFtk (free)

Multiple RDLC reports displayed at the same time

I've created a report that sounds like what you are attempting to do...first to clarify, I'm going to guess your using Crystal Reports within VS2005/2008.
If that's the case, all you need to do in the main report is create an additional section after your section that contains the "Cover Sheet" layout/data. In the section expert for the "Cover Sheet" section (in layout view, right click on section header bar, pick section expert in pop up menu..), check off the "New Page After" option.
Edit: After your update, I see you are using RDLC reports, and from my limited exposure to those, I can't recall an easy way to get to where you want to be. Though I'm pretty sure you may be able to pass multiple reports to the same report viewer in code.
