Hello, I created an Analysis Services project, defined the views and the cube itself. After I deployed the cube, I wanted to compare the results with the browser.
Everytime I try to open the browser, BIDS starts loading, but after a while it crashes.
Is this a known error?
Thanks in advance!
Are you running Office 2007 on the same machine as BIDS? Is it a beta version of Office 2007?
You have not told us about the sp for SQL Server 2005 or if you run a version of Office 2003 or later on the same machine.
Try downloading SP2 CTP3 (December 2006) from www.microsoft.com/sql and see if it helps.

Yes, I do run Office2003 on my machine, btw it is an Acer5102-notebook. I installed the SP2 CTP3, but the error still occurs.
Any other suggestions, it is really urgent?
Thanks in advance!

I hope by the word "crash" you do not mean that you get a hour glass.
1. Do you run any Firewall? I have seen some issues with Integrity where one would not be able to browse the cube.
2. Did you try browsing the cube from any other application instead of VS? like Excel
3. Also are you trying to go to the Browse tab after the cube is completely deployed. I have some instances where if you try to shift tabs while the cube is being deployed the VS crashes (shuts down completely and launches again)
See, if it is related to any of the aboce behaviors?

I have never had any problem with BIDS and Office2003 since SQL Server 2005 RTM.
Try to install this add in for Excel 2003 and connect to the cube: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=DAE82128-9F21-475D-88A4-4B6E6C069FF0&displaylang=en
Have you runned windows update and especially office update lately?
