I developed a DB with MS Access 2013.
I want to printout one report which include 3 subreports (subrA, subrB, subrC) Sometimes #error appears in the PDF (on subrA). It is always on the same textbox.
What is weird is that I always display the report (as preview) and no error appears.
Then I launch PDF printing and sometimes (not always???) I get the error (after error happening in PDF, I sometimes have error in report preview).
My tests :
I tried to printout with PDFcreator and DoCmd.OutputTo, same issue happens
I tried to replace the subrA (expecting a corrupt report) but I still get the error.
I expand the textbox to be sure that it large enough according to the content,
If I print all the reports in one time, I never get this issue
It seems to be lack of refresh issue, as if Access do not have time (sometimes) to format the data in the subreport before printing.
Do you have any idea to support me or any idea of what happens ?
Thanks a lot.
Additional information (added the 2018/01/22)
All the data in SUBR_A come from a query. The data code in error is :
SomDom("QtyCalculeIngredient_UProd";"qryProduction_OFDetailsIngredients";"IdProduction=" & [IdProduction] & " AND Ordre<=" & [Ordre])
This call is perhaps to long to perform and this must explain why #error happens sometimes. Do you have any ideas to reduce the request time ?
A domain function (here DSum()) in the Details section can be problematic.
In your case it seems that you could easily replace that by using the RunningSum property, see:

Thanks for the support. By the way, I was searching for a workaround on myself and I change the DSUM() by a RunningSum before our post your answer,
Of course, it works very well. Thanks for the tips !!!

I created a Shared Dataset in report builder 3.0 a week ago and stored in my "My Reports" folder on report server.I removed it the other day; however, when I go to create a new Dataset today...it's still listed as an option. When you attempt to select it from the list you receive an error message that it's no longer available. Below is the error which I am getting :
"The shared dataset cannot be loaded from the server".
Please help if anyone has faced a similar issue and know the reason for it. Thanks in Advance !!!
Ren is more or less correct, Report Builder is caching a list of items you've recently used. It does not bother to check if the items it's caching actually exist or not, which is why you're getting the error you do when you try to use one.
To clear the list, click the big icon in the top left (or alt + F), then click the Options button at the bottom of the dialog that appears.
In the options window you can clear your recent item lists, along with change some of the rules for how those are kept.
I don't believe there's any way to make Report Builder automatically remove broken/missing references
I have created a report an SSRS report in VS 2008, and running it on a Windows Server 2012. When I run the report from Report Manager, it runs with no issues. However, when I set up a scheduled subscription, I get the following error message: Failure sending mail: An error occurred during rendering of the report. Mail will not be resent.
I have tried a number of Render Format options, including Excel, Word and CSV. It has failed on each of these formats. I did try the 'XML file with report data' option and the mail was sent. I also used the 'Include Link' option without including the report and that worked.
I have also set the Report Timeout option to 'Do not timeout report' in the Processing Options but still got the problem.
I am also running another report that is identical, except for the time interval and it runs fine. The report that is failing captures weekly data, while the report that runs OK captures monthly data.
Any ideas of what is going on with this report? I have provided all the information I can think of, but if anyone needs anything additional, please let me know! Thank you for your assistance!
Although I am not 100% certain of this, after I changed the name and removed some special characters (primarily parenthesis) and this seemed to clear it up.
Edit: After a significant span of time has passed I am certain that this was not a fix. I have a couple of reports that seemed to run fine for a while but then failed. When running the report from Report Manager it runs fine, and can be exported without any problem.
I subsequently ran the report from Report Manager and exported it into a .csv file. After opening this file in a text editor, I noticed that there were double quotation (") marks randomly distributed throughout the report. This did not show when exporting to excel. I rewrote the script to replace the quotations with blank spaces. I ran it again from Report Manager and exported it again to .csv and there were double quotes in the result. When I do this from SSMS I don't get the double quotes. It appears then that this occurs as a result of the export. The report will display in Report Manager, but won't go out in subscriptions.
Any ideas or suggestions would certainly be appreciated. I have worked on this for a while now (months) and need to come to some resolution. Thanks!
The solution ultimately was found and solved by updating the sql server with a service pack that was missing.
I'm trying to display an external image within a SSRS 2005 report, however I can't accomplish that. I've tried a lot of things but they just don't work.
I have a table in my report that displays a dynamic image based on code, I thought the error was in the code however it wasn't because I can see the image in BIDS, however when I try to display it on the report server or within an ASP.NET webpage it doesn't show up.
My Code is as follows:
Function ShowImage(value as Object) As String
Dim strImg as String
If value < 0
strImg= "http://icons.iconarchive.com/icons/fatcow/farm-fresh/24/traffic-lights-green-icon.png"
ElseIf value > 0
strImg= "http://icons.iconarchive.com/icons/fatcow/farm-fresh/24/traffic-lights-red-icon.png"
Else
strImg= "http://icons.iconarchive.com/icons/fatcow/farm-fresh/24/traffic-lights-yellow-icon.png"
End If
Return strImg End Function
The value in my image control is as follows:
=Code.ShowImage(Fields!Diferencia_Entre_Importes.Value)
When I see the preview in BIDS it shows up the way it's supposed to be, but it doesn't happen in the report server.
As you see the images don't need any kind of authentication, besides that, I tried configuring the Execution Account with the same result (I just get a horrible X instead of the image)
I also tried setting the image's value as
http://icons.iconarchive.com/icons/fatcow/farm-fresh/24/traffic-lights-green-icon.png
But had no success, also I tried using an image in the server in this way:
file:ImagePath
And had the same problem, using all of these solutions I can see the image in BIDS, but not in the Report Server.
Thank you very much
I suspect this is caused by an internet access issue on the account on the server running the SSRS report. Whether it is or not, I recommend saving those .png files locally on the server, and modifying the code accordingly - it should improve report performance as well as getting rid of this issue.
Full error from Preview window in Visual Studio '08 (BIDS): "An error occurred during local report processing. Object reference not set to an instance of an object."
There are no further errors/warnings detailed in the Error List or Output windows.
Background: On this report I am using a table to display a sub-report [x] number of times, dependant on the number of related objects that exist in the SQL database. That is to say that the sub-report is set within one of the cells (the only cell) of the table, in a row that repeats for each item returned in a dataset.
Removing the sub-report allows the master report to compile and run, so I feel the issue is related to the arrangement of the sub-report. If the sub-report only displays once, then the master report compiles and runs fine, it is only when a second instance is required that the issue arises.
When testing the sub-report separately, it compiles and runs when given the parameters for each instance it is being asked to render from the master report. So I can rule out the idea that the data for the second instance is causing it to fail (in some div-by-0 type way).
Given the lack of detail from the error and that the sub-report works on it's own, I do not understand why this is happening.
Does anyone have any ideas for debugging or suggested solutions?
Thanks
Brian
tldr: Master report fails when a sub-report repeats more than once.
I figured out a solution. The sub-report is being passed 4 parameters, one of these had a value referring to the value a table-cell on the master report. Changing this parameter to be the value of the expression that was setting that table-cell fixed the issue. I have no idea why this is a solution, but it is.
In more detail: [table_cell_a] had an expression computing it's value.
[parameter_a] for the sub report was set as "=ReportItems("[table_cell_a]").Value", when I changed the expression for [parameter_a] to mirror the expression for [table_cell_a], everything worked again.
This is messed up, and I can't even begin to understand why it behaves like this. If [table_cell_a] was not being computed before the calls were made to the sub-reports, I could understand. But if that was the case, how come the report worked when there was only one sub-report?
If anyone can provide an explanation, I would be most grateful.

Brian,
I'm having a similar issue with charts imbedded in a Tablix. I found this article that seems to address the issue, although I have not gotten the server upgraded yet to actually test it:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2639301
Hope that helps.

I was getting the similar error after changing the names of reports in my project even though I changed all the updated report names in the Action property.
An error occurred during local report processing. Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
I found a solution by running the dataset of linked report providing the parameter values manually.
I am not sure what difference it made by running the dataset of linked report manually but it solved my problem and I am no longer getting this error.
Thanks

Just sharing. In my case, it was not a sub-report. I had the same message when I was accessing a drill-through-report. Apparently, at the "Action: Go to report" > "Specify a report:", I have wrongly pasted the full name of the report with the extension. Removing the ".rdl" extension solved my problem.
Addendum: If the drill-through report name is part of an expression then the .rdl extension is necessary for it to work when hosted in SharePoint. That prevents it working in preview mode, as you've found. Solution is to code to avoid having to use an expression for the report name.
Copy the Dataset and Queries.
Create new report or copy paste Tablix to new report. You will not get the error again.
I had to remove the SubReport and add it again. Then it worked.
I had the same error when I changed the name of the report I drilled to. I did change the name in the action expression to the new name via the properties > Action > Go to Report > (...) > Expression, but that apparently didn't take. When I opened the text box > Properties dialog window instead of using the Properties pane, and changed the drilled to report name within that window, it solved my issue.
I am using OutputTo to create reports, however my reports contain VBA code for styling and formatting, and when I use the OutputTo function it ignores my report-vba code.
My code:
DoCmd.OutputTo acOutputReport, "Report Name", acFormatSNP, "File Path", False
Do you know any way to automatically create reports that will execute the report-vba code?
Thanks.
If you want the output to look exactly the same as the report viewed in Access, PDF is probably the best bet (thanks to iDevelop). However, depending on your version of Access, you may not be able to create a PDF with OutputTo, it only became available in the 2007 version. An alternative is to build your own html output, which can be quite pretty.
I ended up removing the VBA code that was used for styling and editing.
GD Aducci,
I was having same problem and solved the issue by removing the VBA in the report.
Whilst contemplating my succes I was wondering what might be the solution for the issue...
Mind you it's an idea, not a tried piece of code.
Here goes:
If you 'flag' the result of the formatting and styling VBA code in your report and make it into a boolean variable, you would be able to sample/retrieve the variable from your execution code. I.e. you would be able to retrieve the 'rendering-status' of the document.
You could then delay the actual execution of the 'OutputTo' routine by checking if all flags are 'true' if all come back as true, then formatting and styling should be finished and hence exporting to PDF would be optional, if they do not come back as 'true' then 'OutputTo' routine should be delayed even further.
It appears that 'OutputTo' just continues execution without actually confirming if document rendering has actually finished and hence ignores (and conflicts with) any VBA coding present in the document. So only option is to check if all code has executed before presenting the rendered document to the 'OutputTo' command ?
Perhaps code the 'OutputTo' as function and refer to it from the rendered document...?
As I said, I haven't coded it -yet- but it may be the solution ?
cheers !
