Sub-report will not display data

  • Hello

    I have a report that there are several sub reports in it, that allow a different report with more detail to be opened when a link is clicked on. As time goes on and as people request we add information to the reports. They are intended to be a very high level view of either an Order or a Part Number. When I deployed the report everything looked normal until I clicked on the link in the sub-report for a specific report, RS opens the report displays the report title and a white screen. If I open the linked report and execute it works fine. It works fine from start to finish if I initiate it in a Visual Studio Preview. Here the catch the sub-report is the only one that does this the rest of the sub-reports work as intended. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

  • Is this actually a sub-report or is it actually a report you are clicking through to?   Make sure your parameters are correct.   If you can, use SQL Profiler to see the statement that is actually being passed to SQL Server.

  • Sorry let me clarify a little better. I have a report with several sub-reports with each of the sub-titles in the sub reports being a link to a full blown version of that sub-report. The report and the sub-report work fine it is the link from the sub-report to the full blown version of the report that give me that blank page. If I open the full blown version of the report it works fine, it only gives me a problem from the link of the sub-report. Again sorry for the confusion

  • Again, I would double-check the parameters that get passed to that report.

  • Kathi,

    Thanks for the help you were right on. Found a space in an expression used for a parameter were I shouldn't of had a space. But I am still a little confused why it worked as a stand alone report yet when I went to it through a sub-report it became a problem?

    thanks again!
