Custom DataProcessing Extensions - problem with the Refresh Fields button? →

Having decided to use Windows SharePoint Services (WSS) as a company-wide document repository I'm thinking I'm probably going to need to report on the documents and list content (in combination with data from other enterprise systems) and not just rely on SharePoint Search, so Reporting Services seems...
