I hate reportviewer......isn't there something better!?!?
-
I'm writing an app that uses report viewer to create a detail report.....sorta like a invoice, where it lists the company name and all that they bought and an image of the item they bought. So I created my report and the sub-report for the details section. However when I go to run it I get the company name but the details section grabs all parts for all companies then the break on the next company....then repeats. Isn't there something else that is better than this? And I cannot believe that there is no one around me that has never used this...how are all these apps getting written that are using some report? thanks for letting me vent. Any suggestion would be appreciated. And by the way I am passing the key as a parameter from the main report to the sub. Tom

2006, 2007Dave I was looking into that but I don't know....do I need to install something special on the end users PC in order to get the report to work? Tom

Yes, the CR runtime. The higher Visual Studio editions comes with it and the development tools in the ToolBox.

That's because you pulled (or push) all the data. You need to get only the data you want to display and group them correctly.
