FineBuild can install and configure the SQL 2000 Taskpad View Report as part of the SQL Server install process

If you do not want to include Taskpad View Report in your FineBuild install, then do not download it

Taskpad View Report was written by Jasper Smith and Simon Sabin. It was chosen to be included in FineBuild because it provides functionality in SQL Server that is similar to the Taskpad View in SQL Server 2000, and provides an example of a Custom Report

Taskpad View Report is no longer supported and the download is no longer available. The functionality previously provided by Taskpad View Report is now available in SSMS.
