Dataset Confusion in Reporting Services 2005

I'm creating a report that gets its data from a dataset returned from a
webservice call. I've supplied the URL for the webservice and in my Dataset
dialog (in Visual Studio), I've indicated the Comnand Type as 'Text' and my
Query String as follows:
<Query>
<SoapAction>Federation/GetAll</SoapAction>
<ElementPath />
</Query>
Where: 'Federation' is my namespace and 'GetAll' is the method which gets
consumed from the webservice.
When I click the Run button on the report Design screen, the webservice is
called correctly but what I get back is one row for each field in my dataset
instead of one row for each record in the dataset. IOW, my dataset has 20
fields in it and what I get returned is a table with 20 records in it, one
for each field, instead of the actual data.
Can someone tell me what I'm doing wrong?

I am having the same problem. Any answers yet? I am messing around with the
Element Path attribute, but since the BOL is pretty thin, and I'm a newbie to
XML & Web Services the going is slow.|||Same problem!....please help!

what I did and it worked for me - Notice the changes to the "ElementPath".
<Query>
<SoapAction>Federation/GetAll</SoapAction>
<ElementPath
IgnoreNamespaces="True">GetAllResponse/GetAllResult/diffgram/NewDataSet/Table</ElementPath>
</Query>
Note: If you only want certain columns returned, add your column name(s)
seperated by commas in brackets "{} " after "Table" (eg. <ElementPath
IgnoreNamespaces="True">GetAllResponse/GetAllResult/diffgram/NewDataSet/Table{column1_name,column2_name}</ElementPath>)
Hope this helps!

Data-Driven Subscription Error

I working through the 'Creating a Data-Driven Subscription' walkthrough
supplied as part of the BOL documentation, using Report Server File
Share as the delivery method. It cannot generate the report using the
three sets of dummy user details. The resulting status is: 'Done: 3
processed of 3 total: 3 errors'. How can I resolve this error?Sounds like possibly there was an error in writing out the files to the
file share (...since 3 of 3 procesed).
Open the ReportSever_ error log (C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL
Server\MSSQL\Reporting Services\LogFiles), and do a Find on 'Success:
False' to locate errors in the log, using the timestamps to narrow
down the entries you look at. Errors could include illegal file names
or permissions on file share etc.
