Subreport on separate folder

  • I read on other topics that to use a subreport from another folder you set its path. I've looked on BIDS and Report Builder and can't find PATH on the subreport properties anywhere.

    Can somebody tell me where or how I can set the subreport's PATH?

  • Have you deployed the report and the sub-report to the server?

  • Yes. Both were deployed. Eventually found out that you need to open the main report with report builder, right click the sub report click on properties and then browse to the folder location where the subreport was deployed to

  • I know this is an old post but I've just had the same issue and worked around it in a different manner as I didn't have permission to install Report Builder.
    I worked around it by copying the RDL to a new location (as to not break the one in the project) opened the RDL in a text editor, looked for the name of the sub report and prefixed it with the subfolder.
    So it was:
    <ReportName>Customer_EmailAddress_SubReport</ReportName>
    and it's now:
    <ReportName>/HiddenSubReports/Customer_EmailAddress_SubReport</ReportName>
    I then used the SSRS Report Manager to upload the modified RDL over the top of the existing report.
    HTH
