Hello All,
I am a newbie here coming from a Crystal development background and
intermediate skills with SQL. I seem to have various issues creating
all sorts of RS reports. I'm trying to start with "more modest"
reports to ease myself into the groove of using RS, but some things
that seem simple stump me.
I have a simple query that brings back 24 results. I used the wizard
to create a simple layout using 1 group (I expect 12 "subsections" by
using this group) with the details displayed under each group.
For whatever odd reason, even tho' running the query finds the 24
results, the Preview shows 1 result. I even removed the group and ran
all the details (tried refreshing) and only 1 result again.
Any ideas?
Thank you in advance

It sounds kind-of like your group had the Property 'Page break at end'
set. Also, make sure you don't have a filter set. Hope this helps.

what you do is create a new project->report and place the same query and see
whether you get the same results. ofcourse place a table control and just
drag and drop a couple of fields and see whether you get 24 rows.?

If you do this you will see only one record because you did not put either a
table or list control on the canvas first.

Not sure how to reply to ALL here... thank you ALL for your help.
I could not find evidence that I selected pulling the "first" value in
the expression
I did not populate my report on an "empty canvas" as I have been using
the Report Wizard for now until I become more acclimated.
I DID try and recreate my report from scratch and did not use the
group feature in the Report Wizard and *got the desired results*. I
didn't even set up the parameter and magically somehow the report
picked it up on its own (I've has issues with other reports that even
forcefully adding the parameters to the report still doesn't seem to
"use" them). So I added the group after I had all the details
displayed and so far it works, the output looks a little different
creating the group after you create the report vs creating the group
in the wizard, but I can't be picky at this point. 280+ report left
to convert!
Thank you all very much for your ideas... I wish I understood better
how to fix the problem vs starting over, but if that is what works
then so be it.
Thanks again

When you preview the report in development it will cache the data and reuse
that unless a parameter value changes. This can cause you to see something
different in preview versus deployment. If you look at where your rdl files
are you will see a .data file. This file can be deleted to force it to hit
the server for the data. Or, if your report has a parameter then just pick a
different value.
Just a heads up.
