Section/Data Source Errors in Report Designer

[Ralph8]

I am getting an error message "Sections not matching Data Source" when trying to test execute a fairly simple report.

The report is linked to a single table as the data source thru data environment and the detail line objects are bound to fields in the table. Looks OK, compiles OK.

I am also priming Page Header Label Captions with info from a second table, such as Student Name, etc.

I have another report designed in a similar way that works OK and I am not seeing the difference. I am not finding the info I need to trouble shoot either.

Can any one point me to a source of info?


TIA

It sounds like the structure of your report doesn't match that of the data source.

My first thought to approaching the problem would be to create a new DataReport and power it with the same data source as your existing report. Then on this new DataReport, retrieve the structure of the data source. That will automatically match the the report's structure to that of the data source. I'd then compare the structure of the new report to that of your existing one.

Hopefully that will help point you in the right direction.
