Crystal Reports Parameter/Drill Down Issue - crystal-reports

I'm currently using CR 2008 for design and running my reports in InfoView. I have a fairly standard report with about 6 groupings and 2 details sections. The groupings are all hierarchichal and can be drilled into. The report contains 5 parameters that the user has access to edit in Infoview.
My problem occurs only when users change any parameter on the report and then attempt to drill down in the report. The result always ends up that the drill down will display the very first Group, with drill down, in the report rather than the one they selected to drill into. If a user enters the report and drills into any group without changing the parameters, everything works as expected.
Has anyone ever seen this kind of behavior or know of a reason that this might be happening? Please help.
Thank You,
Patrick Johnson

This is a bit of a reach, but when you change the parameters, are you refreshing the data (ie. don't use the saved data that was pulled originally). I believe something may be going wrong because of that.
Always, always, always choose to refresh your data.

Project Server SSRS report - One report dynamically including multiple reports

I am not an expert at SSRS but have played around with it to know my basic way around it but I am stuck on this one. This is for Project Server 2010. I am working on a task to create two reports, and combine them at the end. First report, reportA is for a single project, pulling all of it's information. reportB is for a "Portfolio" of the projects on the server.
I am being asked to create a report of them merged. I guess we will call this reportC. reportC will have reportB at the very top, listing all of the projects and other basic information. If reportB has 10 projects listed, 10 reportAs (having information for every single project listed) and all their information, will be aggregated to the bottom of the report.
I tried looking into subreports but do not think this is what I am looking for because it doesn't look as if subreports can be added dynamically, unless I'm wrong. Any ideas on how to easily complete this? I appreciate any help I can get.
EDIT: Here is an example. No it wont be aligned like that. They gave me their example in Excel. It does not necessarily mean that reportC has to be through Excel. Could this be possible running a script of some kind or similar?
Basic Example
I recently did something very similar myself.
What you could do, is in report A, place a table at the bottom where each row is a sub-report (report B). This would allow for all the passed data (name, report id, etc.) to generate visible sub-reports beneath the origin report.
Then, if you want each sub-report on its own page, you can go under group properties and add a page-break after each group.

Active Report 10 Multi Data set designer issue

This is driving me nuts and I can't for the life of me find anything and it seems like such a small problem. I have been trying to google stuff but half the results lead to dead broken links. So here I am.
I am trying to create a SIMPLE report with Active Report 10 just textbox nothing fancy. I have to data sets A and B. When I click on the textbox to assign values at the initial start I am asked which data set I want A or B and such.
Now after the first initial assignment I lose the option to switch and use the other data set. I know I can switch between data set because I have seen it done in other reports that are sent to me and I tried setting the data set name in the property but nothing works.
This seems like I am missing something blatantly obvious. This is all done inside the designer and no code behind.
I feel dumb after fiddling around I created a new report and try another template and used RDL report instead of page report. That seems to have done the trick . . . god knows why they all you to add multi data set and can't use it in page report.

IReport Document Has No Pages

I have encountered same problem 'Document Has No Pages' issue as described in Jasper Reports And IReport Issue. I applied the solution provided in the given link and it started working. I am stuck behind the concept. My main point of concern is, when we are using detail band and we don't give a data query it gives Document has No Pages error. As soon as we give a dummy query in data query, it starts working. Kindly note that, i am using a subDataSet for a table component. That's where IReport generates this issue. Any pointers would be helpful.
Keep in mind that This is not an error but this is how it is configured to do.
This happens when you don't have results to display in the report from the database. But still you can set option what to do in this situation.
In Jaspersoft iReport 5.6.0
1. right click the report
2. Go to properties
3. Find **When No Data**
4. Select one from the options
There you'll see some options as No Section, No Detail, Blank Page, No Data Section, No pages.
Choose the one suits you. -_(--)-_

My Crystal Report is not getting refreshed while passing parameter?

I have created my Crystal Reports using SQL query in Crystal Reports itself, by passing two parameters, i.e, say for eg:- Month & Year.
While I preview the report, I can able to navigate through all pages by passing different parameters and its working fine, but while viewing the report through browser I can't able to view the current report instead is loads the previously generated report, but while I manually make refresh the crystal page in toolbar I can see the current report, even I can't navigate the current report.
Can anyone help me on this?
Try checking the 'Discard Saved Data When Loading Reports' option.
Should be able to find it here:
Right Click/Design/Default Settings/Reporting/Discard Saved Data When Loading Reports
Not sure if that will fix your problem or not but definitely worth a try.
go to file> save data with report.......
I think it will help you
I know its too late for the reply, but I was facing the same problem may be somebody else will go through the same. I applied many hints from different sites including stack-overflow but finally I solved my problem with this code snip..
crystalReportViewer1.Refresh();
crystalReportViewer1.RefreshReport();
Thanks!

Crystal Reports Multiple Columns and Rows

I am trying to put multiple columns and rows in the details section of my crystal report. I essentially want it to have 3 rows of data per line on the report, and span as many pages as needed to fill that space up.
Right now I am only getting one item per page, and some weird artifact on the next page, resulting in 500 rows of data going across 1000 pages. Weird!
I am using 2 views to feed the report, one for header/footer and then the details. The views are linked by date. The database is refreshed daily and only contains the current days data.
I used to use Crystal ages ago but haven't looked at in 5 or 6 years. I know this may be a bit of noob question to some of the more advanced users, but I need help all the same.
SAP Crystal Reports (from about dialog Version 14.0.2)
Thanks so much!
To resolve the paging issue - open the section expert and look in each section for page break set before or after. (It sounds as though a page break may be set on the detail section.)
Do you have any Groups in your report? If so, do you have the 'Keep Group Together' option checked. You can check this in the Report > Group Expert > Options... button > Options tab. If you have that checked, try unchecking that and see if it helps. HTH.
