I have an RS report that is gets its data from a SSSQL table with dynamically generated column headers. Is it possible to set up the report to reflect the change in column names in the db table?

On way to do so is to create a second data source query. That query retrieves the column names, which are then referenced as labels. If looking for the table 'field names' as the labels, I'd recommend a stored procedure to retrieve the data as it may require accessing the system tables.

It may require performing a PIVOT to make it easier to handle.

Would you mind explaining what you mean by 'referenced as labels'? How do I set up column names from a different data source?
