I need to be able to handle a subreport that displays ERROR: subreport could not be shown. I have a main/parent report that has a column and passes a value to a parameter in a subreport. This subreport receives either a database or server parameter. Now, when the subreport failes to connect, I need to be able to handle the ERROR: subreport could not be shown on my main/parent report or in the subreport itself. "ERROR: subreport could not be shown" is a normal result but I am trying to find a way on how to handle it better by providing a different message, subreport or not display at all. Please help, any version of SSRS is fine because I have all of them.
