Replace Function

Dear All,
In my Item Master table, the item column has values like 'printing' in more
than 1000 rows. This was a data entry error. Now my user want all the
instances of 'printing' to be replace by 'printed'. Is there any ways to
update the entire rows in one go, or I will have to change the name from VB
ror by row, or using cusror in SQL.
Please help.
Thanks & Regards,
PramodYou didn't provide much details, but assuming you have a column named "x" fo
r which some rows
currently have the string "printing" and you want to change that string to "
printed", then it is
dead simple:
UPDATE tblname
SET x = 'printed'
WHERE x = 'printing'

'printing' is not the entire column value, you may need
something like this.
update ItemMaster set
item = replace(item, 'printing', 'printed')
where item like '%printing%'

Repeating Footer on every page when printing

Using RS2005, but the same thing happened on RS2000.
This report has 4 matrices and 4 charts which causes the report to print on
3 pages of 11in by 8.5in paper (landscape). I have a Footer that references a
textbox in the body of the report, but when the report is printed, the footer
only appears on the last page. The textbox that the footer is referring to
has an aggregate expression in it such as First(Fields!REVIEW_MONTH.Value,
"Datasetname"). The Footer has the following expression: "= ReportItems!textbox53.value". I have tried everything including vertically
stretching textbox53 across all of the objects in the body. This almost
worked because the footer did appear on pages 1 & 2, but not page 3.
Can someone please help me. Thanks.

:)FYI - I found the solution by contacting MSN support.
The key is to create a hidden report parameter. In the default values
section, use "From Query" and select the dataset and the field that is
desired to be displayed in the footer. Then just reference the Hidden
parameter within a Textbox of the Page Footer. Now, the Page Footer will
repeat on every page of the report regardless of the number of different data
regions. The report parameter is treated like a Global variable in this
scenario.
