report calling report... which ignores the parameters?

  • I am confused...

    I have a report (say "A") that calls a second report "B" passing one parameter to report "B".

    In Visual Studio, I can test my reports fine.

    If I deploy these reports on my laptop (that runs SSRS 2008R2), no problem either.

    But when I deploy to my "dev" server (SSRS 2005), the second report ("B") seems to completely ignore the parameter passed by "A" and prompts the user for this parameter.

    I have other reports happily doing that sort of things and have no idea how to investigate...

    Just in case that is relevant:

    - the parameter is defined as having no default value

    - the parameter is defined as String to take a BIGINT value

    Any idea where/What to look for?

    Thanks

  • Drop both reports on the server and redeploy. There's a bug about parameters in 2K5. I don't know if or when it was fixed.

  • Tried that but no joy.

    I have several reports calling this one sub report and they all who the problem...

    Tried that but no joy.

    I have several reports calling this one sub report and they all who the problem...

    And the report runs on it's own???

    Never seen that.

  • Yes. As far as I can tell, the situation is:

    - main report works fine in Visual Studio (2005), on SSRS 2005 and SSRS2008R2

    - sub report works fine in Visual Studio (2005), on SSRS 2005 and SSRS2008R2

    - jumping from the main report to the sub report works fine in VS 2005 and SSRS 2008R2 but NOT in SSRS 2005

    Any other idea?

    Cheers

  • Sorry, no.

  • I have installed my reports on another laptop running SSRS 2005 as well and everything looks fine on it!

    I'll try re-installing my reports from scratch on my Dev machine...

  • No joy... :crazy:
