#error in textbox in rectangle in reportviewer
-
hello all i'm using report viewer and i need to show data. the report viewer uses some object to get data. i declared the fields i need to use in the report, editing them by hand. if i use textboxes imbedded in list or tables then everything looks ok. but if i try to put a texbox in a rectangle then i cannot choose any field from any dataset. if a copy a textbox with an expression in it and put it in a rectangle then the textbox shows "#error". what must i do to be able to use datasets for the controls in a rectangle? what is the purpose of rectangle if i cannot link it to data?

i already told you. it shows "#error", no other details. i observed one thing. i noted that i could not see any field to use with controls embedded in a rectangle. that might be because the rectangle cannot have any dataset. if for example you add a rectangle and then add a list in it, set a dataset for the list then the controls in the list cand select fields. it's a bit strange but at least it works this way. it can be easily seen that the reportviewer is version 1 and there can be done a lot to improve it, but hey it's better than nothing!
