SSRS 2012 - Report Name Changes Dynamically

    Hello All,

    I have a very weird occurrence that I can’t seem to trace relating to a SSRS report name changing automatically.

    So, I have Report A that has a parameter called “ComputerName”. The parameter is of Text data type without an Available Value. So, it just produces a blank text box when the report is run. The report returns information about the computer.

    The problem I’m encountering is that periodically, when a user runs this report and enters a computer name in the text box field, the report name changes to the name of the computer that had just been searched on.

    For example, the user enters “MyComputer” and it returns information about MyComputer. At some point after the report renders the data and closes the report, report A now shows up as report MyComputer.

    There are no subscription for the report, it’s not cached or linked. This is very strange and I can’t seem to trace the activity using the logs.

    Has anybody ever experienced anything like that?

    Any suggestions on how I can troubleshoot the logs?

    Let me know if you have any questions.

    Thanks in advance...

    Ronnie

    Look at the report name. Are there any expressions that would change the name?

    Thanks Alvin for the follow up.

    Yes, there is an expression in the report name:

    =SrsResources.Localization.GetString("Report248_Name", User!Language) + " "

    I'm not sure how the report name is derived from that expression, but I guess it does happen...

    Thanks!
