I have a report developed in SSRS 2008 R2 for CRM 4.0. The report has a tablix with an email address column. The email address text box appears to wrap text in one environment. But when the same .rdl file is uploaded to another environment for CRM, text wrapping is not visible when the report is run from different environment. Please let me know if anyone has faced this situation.
Are both environments accessing the same instance of SSRS? If not, check the version of SSRS in both environments and make sure that they are the same version.

SSRS subreport does not display properly after deployment.
I've developed (modified actually) a report in SSRS (via Visual Studio). The report and subreports display properly in the VS report designer, but after I deploy the reports, the main report renders properly but the two subreports fail to render.
Any ideas?
subreports render correctly when run from Visual Studio, but not after being deployed
I would suspect your issue stems from the path used to reference your subreports in the .rdl. Typically, when developing a report on the local environment, it requires a full path to the subreport -- whether the .rdl for the subreport is saved on the report server or the local filesystem. In my experience, the full path typically breaks or becomes inaccurate when the files are uploaded to the report server. It is usually easier to use a relative path and store all .rdl files in the same folder on the report server. For example, the differences can be demonstrated as the following.
Full path:
https://server/site/library/folder/Report1.rdl
C:/Reports/AllSubreports/Subreport1
Relative Path:
../AllSubreports/Subreport1
Subreport1
This was often the issue with my reports, though yours could have other causes. Refer to this Microsoft documentation link for more information.
All of the reports I have on our SSRS server work great through the SSRS ReportViewer web control but I have 2 reports that will not render. I fill out the parameters and the page refreshes with nothing. No loading gif, no toolbar, just the parameter controls.
I have tried using the ReportViewer on Chrome, Firefox and IE. All reports but these two certain reports work great.
I've tried the methods listed in:
SSRS 2008 R2 - SSRS 2012 - ReportViewer: Reports are blank in Safari and Chrome
Only 2 reports out of >10 fail to render on SSRS 2008R2 SP2
Does anyone know why certain reports may not display while others will?
Update: I have found that if I pass in a test parameter, the report will render with 0 results. However if I pass in a valid value, I get nothing.
Turns out to have been a couple of things.
First was something to do with the query. One of the parameters accepted values with commas in it and when changing the values to not contain commas, the report worked fine. This might have been attributed to how the values were being passed to the parameters.
The DIV containing the report needed overflow: auto; added to it's styles.
I assume you are on SSRS 2008 r2. While I'm not familiar with using the web version of ReportViewer (I always preview my reports in Visual Studio), I have found that if my Data Source loses its connection string this can happen.
Do you have visual studio with SSRS? If so can you open your report there and preview it?
In a new ssrs 2008 report that uses sql server 2012, I am suppose to create a report that prints on both sides of the same paper. The first side of the report will display custom data with a mailing address for the customer.
The second side (back side of the paper) will contain generic information. The second side of the paper will contain areas for the users within my large company to fill out and return to the user via inter-office mail.
Thus my question is can this happen in an SSRS 2008 report to print in a PDF and/or Word document on both sides of the paper? If this is possible would you tell me if the paper needs to be exported to PDF, Word, or if this can on both format(s)? If so, would you tell me and/or point me to a reference that will tell me how to accomplish this goal?
If this is not possible in SSRS 2008, is printing on both sides of the paper possible in ssrs 2008 r2 or ssrs 2012? If so, would you tell me what version of ssrs report would work, and if the print (export) needs to be a PDF, Word, or either format? If so, would you tell me and/or point me to a reference that will tell me how to accomplish this goal?
If printing on both sides of a paper is not possible, would you tell me if you have any alternative suggestions I can use?
Printing on both sides of the paper is a function of the local printer settings on the computer doing the printing. This is not a setting in Reporting Services and cannot be controlled from there. You can design your report with printing in mind (i.e. set up page breaks at the appropriate points, set page margins and the layout of the report items) but the actual print settings are dependent on printer/print driver being used and the settings of the local computer.
In Microsoft Visual Studio when i run a Report using a Preview the data is showing and when the same report i run from server side its not showing the same data as per the Visual Studio Preview
please suggest
Visual Studio caches locally data in order to reduce the generation time for design puroposes, it will only update the data if you change the parameters values so if your report doesn't have any parameter you will get old data.
To refresh Visual Studio data preview the report and press the refresh button inside the generated report.
Let me know if this can help you.
I had a very similar problem. When I previewed on VS 2015, everything displayed perfect, but when I deployed to my server successfully, only one field wasn't showing up.
What ended up working was changing my report data sets from shared to embedded. Even though they were referencing the same query, somehow there was a disconnect when referencing the shared data set rather than embedding it directly in the report.
I'm having trouble figuring this out.
I stopped ALL of local SQL Services, e.g. SQL Server, SQL Agent, Reporting Services. Then using Report Builder 2.0 to create a report connecting to a remote SQL Server (No SSRS running) out in the farm. When I click on "Run" button, for some odd reasons, it still render the report.
I thought you must have SSRS running in the first place. Is SQL Reporting Services even required for Report Builder?

When Reporting Services runs a report, it creates a data file of the data used in the report and, if nothing changes, it uses that data the next time the report runs instead of hitting the server again. You could be seeing the cached data.
Look where the report is kept. There will be a report file, say MyReport.rdl and also the data, MyReport.rdl.data. You could delete that data file otherwise simply changing the report parameters (if you have some) will generally cause the report to disregard the cached data and make a trip to the server again.
I'm answering my own question. Here's my observation after some googling and experimenting.
Report Builder is using a stand alone report control to render report. Visual Studio.NET is probably using the same thing when preview a report. SSRS is required when developers need to incorporate web-based reporting solution, e.g. ASP.NET, as well as to manage reports.
What's really bothering me is that to author reports in VS.NET, I must be using Business Intelligence Projects. In order to do that, I must install SQL Server 2005/2008 with SSRS. Why is so when SSRS is not even required in a LOCAL environment?
