I've been following this tutorial (lesson 6) in order to build and deploy a sample report with an embedded subreport which reads its parameters' values from the parent report. This subreport is embedded in one of the group rows of the report's table, and both share the same datasource. Additionally, detail rows appear collapsed until the user presses the (+) button for each group of data in the table.
The report works great when I preview it at the Business Intelligence Development Studio (by the way, SQL 2005 Express edition) but when I deploy it and try to see in the Report Manager, the subreport is not shown. And, if I press the (+) button, the following message appears:
Some parameters or credentials have not been specified
Does anybody has the slightest idea of what I am doing wrong? Why does it works perfectly in the Report Viewer embedded in Visual Studio but not in the Report Manager web app?
Thanks in advance.
Does the subreport use the same Data Source as the parent report? If not, be sure to check the data source of the subreport to make sure it is correct. Check in Report Manager, not your local copy.
I'm beginning to think this could be an issue with the browser. I'm currently using Internet Explorer 8 Beta and I'm also experiencing weird behavior from the Report Manager. I've tried with Google Chrome and Firefox 3 and, although the navigation is not as smooth as I like, the problem seems fixed.
it happens when you use IE8 as a report browser. I faced same issue and when I tested on chrome it worked fine .
This may or may not be related, but I had a similar problem some time ago (except that in my case the reports were accessed through a custom web page) and it turned out we had an older version of the report viewer control (the version that came with Sql 2005 RTM). After upgrading to the latest version the issue went away.

I've never seen this problem before.
The report elements are not updating from changes made in the Design mode in Visual Studio (2015). It's not a data issue - even static text box changes are not appearing.
I had removed the Member ID column, combined the last and first names into a single Member Name column, added a couple of columns and renamed SEX to Gender. Here's the Design view.
These changes should appear when I click on Preview but Visual Studio displays the old report.
As I mentioned, I haven't seen this before and haven't found any similar issues when using Google-Fu. I have tried restarting VS but that was no help. The only thing I did to get from the first pic to the second is to press the Preview button in Visual Studio. I've been trying to make it update for over half an hour now. I've updated and created hundreds of SSRS report over the last 15 years but have never seen or heard of this issue.
Is there some new preview caching that SSRS is now doing? It seems similar to the dumb data caching issue but I don't see where the report would be cached. This is completely ridiculous - what moron would create a caching for something being developed so changes can't be viewed?
How can I see the correct preview in my SSRS report in Viusual Studio?
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 have a report in Microsoft Access 97 (yes, I know) that works properly on my client's copy of Server 2003. However, when I try to run it on my own copy of Server 2003, the report crashes Access immediately. It does the same in Server 2008 R2 and Server 2012 R2. Now, the interesting thing is that the query underneath that report runs perfectly, which I would think rules out things like MDAC. There's nothing unusual about the report -- no strange fonts or graphics -- at least nothing obvious. If I can get it working in an environment identical to the client's, then I can move it forward to other operating systems. Where should I start looking for the cause?
Usually this kind of crash is related to missing references..You need to go to the VBA Editor (ALT + F11) -> Tools -> References and check if you have any MISSING
Import everything from your current project into a new blank project, seems like that is the only resolution I have been able to find online.
The information that I found can be viewed here: http://www.pcreview.co.uk/threads/access-97-crashes-opening-a-report.3901588/
What worked for me, don't ask me why:
I found the printing worked and so did Layout View
Open the report in Layout View
Save the report
It works!
I'm at wits end trying to find a solution for my issues with Internet Explorer and SSRS. I have created an C# Windows Forms program that uses the WebBrowser element to display SSRS reports to the end user.
Currently there are two report options for them to choose from. One report opens and displays fine. The data set for this report takes about 2-3 seconds to retrieve. The second report is either timing out or not rendering as I get a blank screen.
I think it is timing out as opposed to not rendering because I can't even choose the export to file option. The data set for the second report only takes about 15 seconds to retrieve. I have tried altering timeouts on web.config and rsreportserver.config on the SQL Server and I have tried putting a <system.web> section into the app.config file of the ASP project, but none of that seems to have fixed the issue.
I also tried changing the sessionState value in the web.config but that doesn't seem to have done anything either. Has anyone encountered this error that can tell me what steps to take to fix the problem? My local machine is using IE9 and the server is running SQL Server 2008 R2 on Windows 7.
The answer to this is above in the comments to my question. Don't use the WebBrowser control as it is prone to the failure of IE. I placed the ReportViewer control on there and it works correctly. Check http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa337089(v=sql.100).aspx for usage of this control.
Is there any way to refresh a subreport in Reporting Services?
When I change something on a subreport file and back to the main report, I have to delete the subreport object and include a new instance again to get my preview updated.
Is there any way to update the sub report object in the main report without having to delete and include the same again?
Actually I think the answer is to ensure that you preview or rebuild the sub-report before you view it in the parent report.
The simplest way to rebuild a subreport is to preview it in BIDS, but you can also right-click | build on the report in the Solution Explorer. Alternatively, rebuild your whole report project if that's easier than rebuilding individual reports.
In BIDS, in your top level report, you should have a Subreport object. That object is essentially just a pointer to another rdl in the project. This should update automatically. What i think you're seeing is BIDS loading a stale version of the subreport. If this happens try closing BIDS all the way down and open the project back up again and rerun the parent report. It should have the updated subreport.
This is all assuming that you've got a report project in bids with standalone reports instead of embedding reports in aspx pages.
I realize this is an old post, but as can happen, I was someone with the issue as well and landed here through searching google. I'm not sure if the OP is using Visual Studio 2008 like one of the commenters is, as am I, but what I found is that while preview on the main report is not showing an updated sub-report, I can see the update by right clicking on the main report in the solution explorer and selecting "run". It doesn't seem to take much longer if at all to open the separate run window.
