Data Deck - silly question

I'm trying to replicate the functionality from here;
http://www.cognoise.com/index.php/topic,14120.0.html

It's all about using data decks to create the illusion of a drill down.

I'm stumbling at the first hurdle though.
I add a data deck, set the default card to Yes and add a crosstab into the card.

But when I run it I'm getting no data.
In fact, I've added some 'Missing' text to the 'No Data Contents' card and that's displaying.

So I'm wondering why my crosstab isn't returning data.
There is data, I can see that when I move the crosstab out of the box.

I'm wondering if I've missed a fundametal point.
Something to do with master detail or a variable to set the deck as visible.
Can anyone point me in the right direction please.

Can you send me your report spec? Is it using one of the sample packages? My guess would be an incorrect master/detail relationship but I'm guessing blind here...

Meep!

It's OK.
I've just sorted it out, I was coming back to delete the thread - but I'll offer the answer.

I just needed to set up a variable and then set the container select options to show my card when the variable was missing.

Thanks again for the prompt reply though.
